Abstract

Abstract: During present study, 30 samples of drinking water from five different sources of drilled well from Kifry city have been collected and investigated for the levels of their physiochemical and Microbiological Coliform. Chemical tests were performed include tests of some soluble inorganic ions, such as chloride (Cl1-) and calcium (Ca2+), potassium (K+) sodium (Na+), magnesium (Mg2+). While the conductivity, pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), and turbidity tests belong to the physical tests. The results of chemical and physical test demonstrate the water of drilled wells in study area is possible for drinking according to Iraqi standard limits for drinking water. While their microbiological (coliform) properties have been investigate, the microbiological test includes test (MaCconkey Broth) methodology to coliform for any different drinking water. As well as the international organization World Health Organization (WHO) ranges for qualities of drinking water were used for results comparisons, but the (drilled well) water in Imam Mohamed area isn’t suitable for drinking water, according to the (WHO) ranges for drinking water.
