Keywords:
Spatial and temporal variation, turbidity, aggregative increaseAbstract
A field study was carried out on four selected sites along the course of the Shatt al-Arab, including two sites north of the river: the site of Al-Sada Al-Nour and the site of the paper factory, a site in the center of Basra, which is the site of AlAshar, and the site south of the river, which is the site of Seyhan. This study lasted a whole year and was divided into four semesters, extending from the summer of 2021 until the spring of 2022. The study aims to identify the pattern of salt penetration into the course of the Shatt al-Arab by following up the spatial and temporal variation of the values of total dissolved solids and turbidity values of river water and the impact of water supplies coming from the Tigris River and the movement of tides. Samples were collected from the four sites, for the four seasons, for three depths and by three replicates. The experiment treatments are distributed into three replicates by using a factorial experiment conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The results of the study showed a significant effect of the study factors on the values of total dissolved solids and turbidity values, with a spatial and temporal variation of values, and significant differences between the coefficients and the values of total dissolved solids ranged between 1229.71 and 5895.27 at the site of Al-Nour and the site of Seyhan, respectively. There was an aggregate increase in values for the location of the paper mill and the site of the publican, while the increase was double for the site of Seyhan, and the rates of increase ranged between 8.74 and 135.35%. In the turbidity values ranged between 13.90 and 36.49 NTU at the site of the paper mill and Seyhan respectively. Based on the time factor, turbidity values varied between 18.09 and 27.30 NTU for winter and spring, respectively
