Apstrakt

Ova studija pruža sveobuhvatnu procenu kanalizacionog sistema u gradu Erbil, Irak, sa fokusom na kvalitet i količinu otpadnih voda, kao i na uticaj ispuštanja neprečišćenih otpadnih voda na životnu sredinu. Grad nema centralizovanu fabriku za prečišćavanje otpadnih voda, iako je njen projekat već odobren. Studija procenjuje trenutni sistem poređenjem postojećih podataka sa prethodnim istraživanjima, naglašavajući uticaj načina života na karakteristike otpadnih voda u regionu. U radu se ističu opasnosti od ponovnog korišćenja neprečišćenih otpadnih voda za navodnjavanje, koje predstavlja značajne zdravstvene i ekološke rizike, uključujući kontaminaciju podzemnih voda. Podaci su prikupljeni kroz posete različitim lokacijama u gradu Erbil. Istraživanje razmatra trenutne i potencijalne uticaje otpadnih voda na vodotoke. Utvrđeno je da se većina otpadnih voda u Erbilu ispušta neprečišćena u životnu sredinu, uzrokujući ozbiljne probleme sa zagađenjem. Ukupna količina proizvedene otpadne vode i navodnjavane površine iznosi 257184 m3/dan i 5143680 m2/dan. Pored toga, u radu se nalazi i preporuka za procese prečišćavanja koji su pogodni za specifične vrste otpadnih voda u Erbilu. Naglašava se važnost uspostavljanja fabrike za prečišćavanje otpadnih voda radi zaštite životne sredine u ovom području.
