Some of the chemical and physical water qualities of the Graff River in
the city of Kut were studied, and for two sites of the river, One was at the
Crimea site, the other in the Jihad district, and for the period from October/2018
to March/2019, Seven variables of river water have been analyzed: temperature
PH, electrical conductivity, TDS, turbidity, alkaline, and chloride. The
results showed that most of the chemical and physical water properties of the
river were in normal proportions and did not rise, except for the turbidity,
which was at a very high level, and that the pH values were close to the basal
side. The results of the statistical analysis revealed positive significant
relationships between the pH and (chloride and TDS). On the other hand, between
electrical conductivity and both previous variables as well. And a negative
significant connection between temperature and alkaline.
