The research concluded that the water samples from the study area met WHO standards and Iraqi environmental standards for drinking water regarding temperature. They were also within permissible limits for electrical conductivity for human consumption. However, the results showed that water turbidity in all sampling sites exceeded the allowable limits according to WHO and Iraqi standards, except for the Al-Gharaf sample site.
