Alternate Relationship between Sediments and Groand water by using Boron as Indicator in Kerbala – Nejaf Area – Middle of Iraq

Abstract

Boron concentrations in ground water change locality in Kerbla – Nejaf area (20/ localities ) beause the difference of sedimentary facies scquence of the clay lenses in horizental and vertical direction and by the effect of time periods between rainy time , so this lead to the difference in Boron concentration in ground water with time ( Jaunary – June , 1996 ) . The average of Boron rates in ground water in selected localities with time is 3 mlg / L and this average is more than the evarage of Boron in sediment filteration of the same localities (2.6mlg /L ) The indication of Boron disribation with time changes especially in time of watering effct as haman activties as well as the number of rainy days . The resultes show that Boron during water shortage and not watering less than Boron in water increasing prriod and watering Two experements were done to represnted the natural conditions of the area by using saline wells water to represent watering case , and the distel water to represent rain case .The result showed that increasing of Boron in sediments fiteration increases with salinity of sedrments fasaes as well the colour of this facies which showed sedimentary envierument and the propability of Boron accumulation in grey claylenses .
