“…The primary causes of the elevated turbidity are surface runoffs and household waste [43]. The drop of it at the Jisr Diyala station because of the connection of the Diyala River to the Tigris River affects the quality of the water in it and all other variables [44].…”

An attempt has been made to evaluate the water quality of the Tigris River in the central of Iraq. 13 physical and chemical factors were monitored at 5 monitoring stations from October 2021 to September 2022. Water quality index (WQI) technique, namely, the Bascaron Water Quality Index (BWQI) was used to explore the quality of the river, which is one of the most applied indices to assess the river's water quality. The result presented was that the WQI final values dropped from the north to the south gradually and were determined to be between 57.08 and 70. The Jisr Diyala station had the lowest WQI rating, while the Balad station had the greatest value. The water quality of the Tigris River in the study area has been classified as "medium" water quality according to BWQI. This is mostly caused by the increase of agricultural, domestic, and industrial activities that increase the amount of pollution in the river when the water is flowing southward.

“…In addition, the effective contribution to assessing the quality of surface water such as rivers and their tributaries by monitoring the concentrations and distribution of many elements and compounds, and studying the physical properties of the rivers such as water transparency, salinity, electrical conductivity, …. etc, and analyzing the results to build a network of databases that can be used in the geographical distribution of data [11,12]. Also, this technique can be to be used for groundwater.…”

Generally, the rivers in both the natural and lined form use the open-section system to carry water, either for distribution or conveyance purposes. With time and depreciation effect, this system needs to be changed or modified to become more indirectly suitable with cities' growth, especially with the transformation of land use from agricultural to residential. The present paper aims to reach a proper decision to select the best hydraulic section for a part of Al-Hneidiyah river in Karbala city by determining the remain agricultural lands within the study area, for the distance between stations (0+000) and (4+000), to choose between keeping up the currently open section or change, (modify), it to a closed conduit. For this study, the cadastral maps were used as a reference to determine the agricultural areas served by the river during its route within the study area, and geographic information system to monitor the change like these areas represented by a gradual transformation from agricultural to residential purpose, by using of satellite images for four different years, 2002, 2007, 2013, and 2016. The results of this study showed a significant recession in the agricultural areas on both sides of the chosen length of river route by a percentage of 13.45%, which leads to an urgent need to change or modify the flow system from opened to closed and use it only for conveyance purposes to protect the water quality and water shares. The geographic information system is a good and helpful technique for evaluation and makes water-related subjects decisions by giving a clear vision of the studied problem.

Groundwater is an essential source because of its high quality and continuous availability characterize this water resource. Therefore, the study of groundwater has required more attention. The present study aims to assess and manage groundwater quality's suitability for various purposes through the Geographical Information System GIS and the Water Quality Index WQI. The study area is located in the city of Baghdad in central Iraq, with an approximate area of 900 , data were collected from the relevant official departments representing the locations of 97 wells of groundwater in the study area for the year 2019, as it included physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl, , and . It used (kriging method) in the geographic information system to generate the groundwater physical and chemical parameters' spatial distribution and the water quality index map. To estimate the water quality index, ten parameters were considered pH, TDS, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl, , , and . The estimated WQI value for groundwater samples in the study area ranges from 50 to 300. Based on the analysis, most of the area under study falls approximately 70% in poor water class and 30% in good water class, where the distribution of the groundwater samples with respect to their quality classes such as excellent, good, poor, very poor and unfit for human drinking purpose, was found to be 3 %, 30 %, 33 %, 12 %, and 20 %, respectively.
