Abstract
The studies dealt with an environmental evaluation of the characteristics of Sudair water in order to know its suitability for various uses (drinking water -irrigation - animal drinking). The study relied on the analysis of the chemical and physical properties of the water of the Sudair table, including (10) models of (10) sites and one model from each site (winter if summer). An element and a compound were also analyzed, and then these results were matched with international and Iraqi specifications to find out their suitability for various uses. It dealt with the abstract and the introduction, the problem of the study, its hypothesis, its importance and its limits, while it dealt with an analytical study as well as the qualitative characteristics of the waters of the Sudair table, which include (the physical and chemical characteristics of the Sudair table). Evaluation of Sudair water for various uses (represented by (civil use of drinking water, agricultural use (for irrigation and drinking animals). The study relied mostly on field work by collecting water models and using a set of tools and supplies such as a mercury thermometer, a GPS device and a camera, as well as water model analysis devices, as well as the adoption of maps to represent the phenomenon studied.The study has reached some main conclusions, namely that the physical and chemical properties of Sudair stream water vary spatially according to the variation of natural and human conditions. The study also found that Sudair water varies in its suitability for drinking water and agricultural use according to global and Iraqi environmental determinants and that this variation is spatial.
