Study the Effects of Shari Lake on the Physical and Chemical Properties for Groundwater in Samarra City

Groundwater near Shari Lake in Samarra exhibits elevated pH and sulfate levels, indicating significant influence from the lake's watershed and underlying limestone structures. The study analyzed samples from Jelam 1, Jelam 2, and other locations across Samarra, revealing that Jelam sites had the highest pH values while the SDI factory recorded the highest sulfate concentrations. These variations suggest groundwater is affected by dissolved salts and minerals, particularly due to limestone dissolution in the region's geology.
