Studying The Quality Of Ground Drinking Water resources that supplies the region ( AL-Hannadi – Fedio ) and protecting it from pollution The state of the study ( AL-Rwameya –Defa ) spring


Abstract in English

Pollution is an important problem experienced by modern societies and the presence of polluants in water resources, especially freshones, makes them a serious and specified problem for growth and life.The purpose of the research is to evaluate the validity of the sources of drinking water and comparison with the Syrian Standards adopted in this field, as well as the calculation of their Quality Index ( Candian Quality Index )where periodic physical ,chemical and biological analysis of water samples taken from the specified sampling points were carried out in the studied area all the year round from April 2017 to March 2018 ,(The Electric Conductivity , Turbidity , Total Hardness , Ammonium , Nitrite , Nitrates , Phosphates ,Sulphates , Total Coliform , Fecal Coliform and E-Coli) were measured . It showed that the values of the physical and chemical parameters of the water samples taken from the specified sampling points achieved the allowed limits of the Syrian Standard for drinking water expect for some values of Total Hardness and Phosphate calcareous.Bacteriological pollution of water samples was found at specific sampling points throughout the year with Total Coliform , Fecal Coliform and E-Coli exceeded allowed limits in drinking water .Th classification of water in terms of drinking capacity for the first water source ( Defa Spring )was acceptable (medium – acceptable ) while its for the second water source ( AL-Rwameya Wells ) was very poor.
