Abstract in English
The big value of dams in the Syrian coast comes from using them for irrigation and sometimes as source of potable water. This study aimed to determine some chemical indicators of water quality in Lattakia dams during ten years (2002-2011). The
concentrations of ions (Cl-1, SO4-2, NO2-1, NO3-1, PO4-3, K+1, Na+1) in five dams (Balloran, 16 Tishreen, Al-thawra, Alsafarkia and Alhweez) were studied. The results indicated that most of the ions showed significant difference in concentrations during 2002-2011.The ions concentrations in most studied dams increased. The increase related to characteristics of dams (location, capacity, the activities located around the dam…).
