Surface Water Pollution and Its Relationship with Human Health
Alia Hussein Salman, Taghreed Takleef Hassan

Abstract:
The Shatt Al-Kufa and Abbasiyeh are among the main sources that feed the Kufa district with water for human consumption, irrigation of crops, and other human uses. As a result of population expansion and agricultural and industrial activity, the available water sources are saturated with human, animal and industrial wastes. As this river passes through several rural villages, the river uses an unhealthy and incorrect use, as well as many animals present in the river, making it an important factor in the spread of disease. The scientific research aims to study the diseases that affect the population as a result of contamination of surface water in the pathogenic neighborhoods according to the age groups of January and July of the year (2019) to reach the results and recommendations.
