Variation in quality of Surface and Groundwater is changing depends on
water position in Hydrological basin. The Topographical and Geological
conditions lead an important role in determining the quality of this water to be
used for various purposes and the determination of its possible contamination.
Badra - Jassan basin is located in Wasit province at the far East of Iraq.
According to the Surface and Groundwater hydrochemical study in this basin
depending on salinity concentrations as well as the major elements analyzed for
nineteen water samples collected from several sites of the basin within the
periods of water surplus and water deficit, the salinity and nitrate pollution was
identified. The pollution in the two above mentioned parameters was accrued in
surface and groundwater unconfined aquifer, while only salinity pollution was
determined in the confined aquifer of the Quaternary deposits and Muqdadiyah
Formation.
