Water Quality Evaluation of the Eastern Euphrates Drainage (Iraq) Within Frame of Agricultural Sustainable Development Process.

Abstract

The Eastern Euphrates Drainage is locate in Babylon province -Iraq, and extend for more than 120km., exceeding it to Al-Qadesia prov.. It's actual average escape has been estimated in July and August as water shortage, high temperature, and Dec., at the 24th k. from its beginning at about 5m³/s, at middle 7m³ /s, and the end 17m³/s.. Results of water samples analysis that have been taken from, on the same months showed that they are very high salty in the first and second locations of drainage, and relatively high in the third, but it can be modification, then to be used in irrigation by mixing them with fresh water, or by using the procedure of magnetization, or both ways, in addition to farming low sensitive crops concering saltiness.

   Researchers advice erecting a pivot of sustainable development agriculture lying with drainage extent consisting of two locations: the first at k. 64th include adding fresh water to Kifil creek with 2m³/s. capacity, and magnetic water station with 3m³/s. to farm about 20 thousand hec. .The Scound is in the k. 119th consisting of: expanding the additional channel exist near to exceed its capacity from 0.5 m³/s. to 3m³/s., then adding it to 12m³/s. from drainage water to farm more than 60 thousand he. in Babylon, Qadesia, Najaf prov., combining widespread settlements in resent villages.
