Abstract

ABSTRACT:Springs are natural eruptions of ground water to the surface of the earth. They are
considered important sources of life. The hydrochemical study of the springs water samples shows that
their water is of marine origin and characterized by highly solvent sulfate hydrogen. They affect
directly the water of the Euphrates. The concentration of this gas is three times the permitted
percentage. It is dangerous as it is a poisonous gas besides the increase of salt : however, remains
within the permitted limits in the water of the river. The hydrodynamic study showed that the water of
these springs runs river-wise due to the rise of the hydrodynamic activity and the scarcity of the
hydrocarbonic preservation as manifested through the appearance of water eruptions in some of these
springs accompanied with hydro carbonic gases and tar. This can be an indication of petroleum
presence or their remains in the studied area. It is recommend that pollution is to be limited and the
detection of petroleum for commercial utilization. These sulfide springs can also be used as healthing
places for dermal diseases.
