Evaluation of Bashar River water quality using CCME water quality index

Water quality index is an essential part of the water resources management system that is used as a numerical scale for evaluating and classifying water quality for various uses. The present study focuses on the application of the Canadian Water Quality Index (CCME WQI) to assess the water quality of the Bashar River for drinking, agricultural, aquaculture, recreational and recreational purposes, livestock, as well as the use of the Schuler diagram to assess the quality of drinking water in this river. In this study, 3 sampling sites along Bashar River and in different seasons of 1398, 4 samples were taken from each site and examined. The results showed that Bashar's river's water quality for drinking is high and medium, and in terms of aquaculture and recreation and recreation is high and good in terms of agriculture and livestock consumption. Also analysis of Schuler plots showed that the quality of the water of Bashar River in terms of drinking is in the good and medium range.
