Authors(3) :-Eman A. Mohammed, Nadia M. Nassier, Safa N. Hassan

Tigris River is considered one of the most important sources of surface water in Iraq Tigris with Euphrates together forms life and stabilization in Iraq. In order to keep these sources in use for more and more generations we must continually study its water and make sure it is free from all types of pollutants. This research aims to study a part of Tigris River in Baghdad, about 37km length, and test the levels of Alkalinity, Hardness, Calcium and Magnesium and see if they are within limitations. Most of obtained results were within limits. Extra safety for Tigris river is obtained by observing all industrial activities and making sure that there is a waste water treatment plant in each industry.
