AL–HASNAWI3 1Faculty of Engineering, University of Kufa, Iraq 2Remote Sensing Center, University of Kufa, Iraq 3Faculty of Education for Girls, University of Kufa, Iraq ABSTRACT This research aims to study the variation in water quality during four seasons of year 2012–2013 for Husseiniya stream. This stream is a branch of Euphrates river in Iraq. It passes through Karbala Governorate and serves as a source for different purposes in this region. Canadian Water Quality Index (CWQI) method was used to for the classification of this stream for domestic, irrigation, and aquatic uses during winter, spring, summer, and autumn seasons. This method is classified as relative subindex technique that depends on water quality standards; therefore, water quality parameters were adopted in this method, which were taken from different international standards. These parameters were temperature, turbidity, total dissolved solids, hydrogen power, total hardness, sulphates, chlorides, lead, cadmium, aluminium, and coliform bacteria. In CWQI method, the parameters of Husseiniya stream during the four seasons were compared with their optimum (desirable) and maximum (permissible) standards. It was found that there was clear variation in the classification of CWQI between the two ways. From other side, the seasonal behaviour for this stream was not clear during the study period for all parameters and for all uses. Keywords: Canadian Water Quality Index, Euphrates river, Husseiniya stream.

  • Cholera Task Force-IRAQ Update on Current Cholera Outbreak in Iraq SITREP – Situation Report – N° 18
    ` Cholera Task Force-IRAQ Update on Current Cholera Outbreak in Iraq SITREP – Situation Report – N° 18 05.11.2015 (Epi Week 45) Situation Update The general trend of acute diarrheal diseases (AD) remains high since week 36 although the number of confirmed cases appears to be trending downwards (Fig 1 & 2). A cumulative total of 4,351 cholera cases have been confirmed at provincial level labs (PHL) and 2,436 of the positive provincial-level samples have been confirmed at the Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL). The large gap between CPHL and provincial-level confirmation is mainly due to large numbers of samples with pending test results at the CPHL. Overall, Baghdad, Babil, Diwaniya and Muthanna governorates have been the most affected governorates, accounting for 33%, 25%, 15% and 11% of cumulative cases, respectively, based on CPHL confirmed cases. However, going by PHL data, Babylon alone accounts for nearly 50% of all laboratory-confirmed cases. Affected neighboring countries so far include: Kuwait, with six (6) reported confirmed cholera cases, of which four (4) with established history of recent visits to Iraq and two (2) from contacts with confirmed cases; Iran, with fifteen (15) reported cholera cases – all have recent history of travel to Iraq; Oman, with one (1) reported confirmed case with recent history of travel to Iraq.

Iraq too has recorded a spike in cancerous patients with a high prevalence and mortality rate. Lung cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. The current study is an epidemiological statistical approach that intends to investigate the incidence, prevalence, and growth of the lung cancer population in Iraq. The authors considered the data belonging to lung cancer patients in holy Karbala Governorate, Medical city of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) during the period, 2012-2019. The data were classified according to age, gender, and region. The governorate is divided into several regions and the number of injuries for every region is further divided under gender and age classifications. Further, the incidence rate was determined for every region in the governorate.
