Abstract
Water is found naturally in many different forms. In the liquid state it is found in rivers, lakes and groundwater (water held in rock formations), and also as sea water and rain.
Water pollution control has traditionally focused on the impacts of pollutant discharges from point sources, such as industrial and municipal sewage systems. Other water pollutant sources , called nonpoint sources, generate pollutants during the stormwater runoff process. Runoff erodes or washes off pollutants from a wide, diffuse area and transports them to a receiving water.
The principal reason for monitoring water quality has been, traditionally, the need to verify whether the observed water quality is suitable for intended uses. The present study was conducted on Al Abasseia river station in the aim of studying the concentration levels of some water quality parameters ( BOD, PO4, NO3, pH , TU, Cl, SO4, and T).
Samples of raw were collected and analyzed from Al Abasseia river station during a period of nine months, starting from March until December 2010 (except August). The purpose is to assess the level of parameters measured and their effects on the river, statistical analysis used to describe the relations between parameters of water quality with regression analysis done by using “Data Fit” program version 9.0 software.
This study showed that the discharging domestic sewage, detergents, agricultural effluents with fertilizers and industrial waste water from adjacent areas causing some contaminants increased.
