Time Series Analysis of Total Suspended Solids Concentrations in Euphrates River in Al-Nasria Province

The monthly time series of the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) concentrations in Euphrates River at Nasria was analyzed as a time series. The data used for the analysis was the monthly series during (1977-2000). The series was tested for nonhomogenity and found to be nonhomogeneous. A significant p...
