تقييم الخصائص البكتريولوجية للمياه الجوفية في منطقة المهاري شمال غرب محافظة المثنى
Abstract
The study included an evaluation of the bacteriological characteristics of groundwater in the Al-Mahari region in the northwestern part of the desert of Al-Muthanna Governorate, as the field work included collecting (40) samples of groundwater in (20) sites. The samples were taken by (2) samples from each site, the first during the month of February, and the second during the month of August of the year 2022, water samples were collected using opaque glass bottles with a capacity of (125ml) sterilized with an autoclave, vacuumed, and dried at a temperature of 140oC for two hours. The samples were analyzed in the soil and water laboratory at the College of Agriculture. / Al-Muthanna University. The study found a high number of bacteria in the summer season, which is higher than their number in the winter season, as the average number of Faecal Streptococcus bacteria (F.S) for the two seasons was (7 colonies/100ML), while Enterococcus bacteria (S.C) recorded an average of (14 colonies/100ML). ), and fecal coliform bacteria (F.C) were recorded (25 colonies/100ML), and the total number of coliform bacteria (T.C) was recorded (53 colonies/100ML), while the total number of bacteria (T.P.C) was recorded (114 colonies/100ML), and thus it exceeded permissible limits for drinking water
