Abstract :
The purpose of this study is assessment and zoning of water resources pollution in
the Minoo Island. This research is of applied type and the method of data collection
is library, field and laboratory. Therefore, the study area was networked and the
networks that had an aquatic ecosystem were selected as the study area. Sampling
of water (surface and underground) in the area was performed and transferred to a
certified laboratory. The results showed that there are 3 types of water resources in
the study area; Arvand River, surface rivers and groundwater. The Arvand River is
more polluted than other sources. The average of TDS was between 1100-1600 parts
per million (ppm). The highest levels of AS, Fe, Mn, Cr and Al are 0.425, 0.585, 0.883,
0.102 and 2.22 mg / l, respectively. The pH is normal and will not be a problem for
sensitive plants. Also, groundwater resources located in the northern half of the study
area show the highest level of pollution.
