Studying the Probability of Using Groundwater in Baghdad City for Human, Animal, and Irrigation Use
Groundwater is an important source of fresh water especially in countries having a decrease in or no surface water; therefore itis essential to assess the quality of groundwater and find the possibility of its use in different purposes (domestic; agricultural; animal; and other purposes). In this pa...
