Abstract :
Our study focuses on the physicochemical properties of the Third River in South Iraq and its suitability for irrigation. We collected samples from six stations along the river, each 10 km apart, to assess water quality parameters, viz. temperature, pH, total hardness, and electrical conductivity. Our results highlight seasonal variations and the influence of upstream industrial activities and regional agricultural practices on water quality. We interpret these findings in the context of international irrigation water quality standards and discuss their potential effects on soil health. Importantly, we provide practical recommendations for water management strategies that can be implemented to optimize the Third River for sustainable agriculture in South Iraq.
