| ABSTRACT: | In this study the impacts of collecting water in a dam on the quality of the impounded water from physical, chemical and biological aspects were assessed. The dams chosen for this study were: * King Talal Dam * Wadi El - Arab Dam * Zeqlab Dam * Shueib Dam * Kafrain Dam Water samples were collected from the inlet, outlet, the surface, at every 10m depth, depending on the depth of water in the reservoir, and the bottom of each reservoir. Samples were preserved according to the Standard Methods of Water Analysis (1986) and brought back to the laboratory for analysis. On-site analysis and measurements included: Electric Conductivity (EC), pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Ammonia (NH4), and Light Intensity. |
