Abstract
The physical and chemical properties of the Tigris River water were studied in Wasit province at the cities of Essaouira and Numaniyah and two stations were selected. The sampling study was monthly from Jan2018 to July 2018 . The effect of the dropping in water levels in the Tigris River and the lack of rainfall for 2018 with the rise of most property values in the winter of 2018 and the decrease in April 2018 to increase rainfall this month, as most values showed a marked rise at the Numaniyah station, while the vital requirement for BOD5 oxygen and phosphates increased at Essaouira station, the electrical conductivity rate was recorded at (1798micro cm/cm) at Numaniyah which is reflected in the presence of contaminated elements, as the results showed a rise in the values of total hardness at a rate of (400 mg/l) and that calcium and magnesium elements are the causes of the hardness and the baseband was mostly due to the presence of carbon ions and biacarpones. Sulfate increased by (484 mg/L) and phosphates and nitrate exceeded surface water courses by(0.46-9.4 mg/L).
