Abstract

 The current study included an assessment of the pollution
index (WPI) for house waste water collected in five sites in Mosul city,
depending on some physical and chemical analyzes of twelve samples of
water from these sites distributed on both sides of the right and left in

Oxygen demand, Biological Oxygen demand, sodium, Phosphates,
sulfates, nitrates, chlorides, turbidity PH, magnesium, calcium. The
results indicated that the values of the water pollution Index (WPI) were
between (1.0-2.0) in sites 1, 3, 4, and 5. Thus, the water of the studied
sites is of Moderately polluted (???), suitable effect casting in the river,
