The goal of the current study is to use the Canadian Water Mechanism Manual to assess the water quality at five stations along the Shatt Al-Hilla river in the Iraqi province of Babylon. The current research demonstrates how the Shatt Al-Hilla River and five other locations in Babel City, Iraq, were evaluated using the Water Quality Index developed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME WQI). The fieldwork was finished in April 2019, between November 2018, and this month. The CCME WQI was built using thirteen factors for measuring water quality (chromium, chemical oxygen demand, lead, biological oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, sulphate, nitrite, nitrate, total hardness, total dissolved solids, pH magnitude and water temperature). The average magnitudes for five stations along the CCME WQI for the Shatt Al-Hilla River ranged from 61.94 to 81.93 depending on the index’s findings. It was also noted that there is a variation in the studied physical and chemical properties of the samples taken from the five stations distributed along the Shatt al-Hilla River. These data show that the water quality for drinking purposes may be assessed as marginal in all sites, with the exception of station 1, where the water quality index was evaluated as good. In order to prevent pollution, conserve water, and achieve proper management, this study article underlines the need for substantial action to control river water quality.
