Abstract :
The Tigris river water in this study was
evaluated at three water treatment plants in Baghdad city
for six months from January 27, 2019, to August 28, 2019,
the water assessment has been done by using the Canadian
Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality
Index (CCMEWQI) for a total of 540 samples of 12
parameters and the parameters are Turbidity, Total
Hardness as CaCO3, Chloride, pH, Sulfate, Total
dissolved solids, Iron, Fluoride, Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia,
Faecal Coliform. The calculated CCMEWQI for the three
water treatment plants as signal station WQI were; Sharq
Dijla (61.64726, marginal), Al Wathba (63.2286,
marginal), Al Wihda (62.984135, marginal), and the
calculated CCMEWQI for Tigris river passing through
Baghdad city as multi-station WQI was (62.59553,
marginal), the Tigris river passing through Baghdad city
status is not promising since the water treatment plants on
Tigris river in Baghdad city are already outdated. The
CCMEWQI is calculated using MATLAB by developing a
flexible and extraordinarily easy code for any types of
parameters and guidelines and for any size of data.
