Hydrochemical Facies Description to Assess the Groundwater Quality in Southern Part of Haditha District, Iraq

Abstract

The current study shows the hydrochemical parameters controll pattern of difference in the hydro-chemical facies for eighteen samples were acquired of the study area. The groundwater samples were analyzed for the "cations and anions" in [mg/liter], (TDS) [mg/liter]; (EC) μS/cm; temperature (°C); then pH unit less. Piper "three-line" diagram shown the total of groundwater samples fits at class 1 "Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Cl^-, SO₄^2-", category I "SO₄^2- - Cl^- and Ca²⁺ - Mg²⁺" then lasting total hardness of water "calcium - chloride type". A contribution from each of the "cations" in the study area was in different proportion (prevailing cation sodium "Na⁺", whilst the sulfate "SO₄^2-" is a prevailing ion of a groundwater in a study area. A results of the analytical values presented that in general the groundwater were brackish water besides high fertility salts within impermissible borders according to of the "WHO standards". water quality index then Irrigation parameter was calculated to groundwater to estimate water to drinking, agricultural and usages to the citizens of the area. The primay interchange of cations is the interchange of sodium and potassium ions at the water together with magnesium, calcium ions at articles which exposed for weather conditions.
