The Russian and German journeys are considered one of the most
important European journeys which described some of the Holy Places
(Palestine) and its economy, especially agriculture during the Crusades. This
research will talk about models of Russian and German flights, and the
definition of their owners.
This research aims to evaluate the water quality of the Al-Sain lake which feeds
mainly the Lattakia city and a part of the Tartous city of drinking water purpose.
In this paper, we study a group of physical and chemical factors for the water of th
e
Al-Sain lake during the years of available data (1991-2004-2007-2011), samples were
taken from four different locations according to the program approved by the concerned
staff to monitor and protect the lake, namely: (Lattakia water supply point, Tartous water
supply point, irrigation point, southern spring observatory), and we calculated the quality
index for drinking purposes using US approved methodology of National Sanitation
Foundation. Nine factors have been adopted: (dissolved oxygen, fecal coliforms, pH,
BOD5, temperature, phosphate, nitrates, turbidity, and total solids).
The research result showed that the classification of water quality was good in all
four monitoring points during the years 1991 and 2004, noting a significant improvement
of the quality in 2004, and decreases slightly during the years 2007 and 2011 for
monitoring points in the Lattakia water supply and irrigation points, but water quality still
keep maintain a good classification, while the quality of the water goes down within the
threshold of middle classification for the Tartous and southern spring observatory
monitoring point.
