ABSTRACT
Al-Tamimi AN, Braak MM., Water quality, diatom, pollution and Shannon
diversity indices from the Euphrates river, Onl J Vet
Res., 23 (2):161-169, 2019. Authors report biological and water quality indices from
the Euphrates river between Ramadi and Fallujah in Western
Iraq from November 2017 to July 2018. We assessed water quality index (NSF-WQI),
Trophic Diatoms (TDI), Pollution Tolerance (PTI) and Shannon Diversity Indexes (H).
Most of the biological indices reflected water low to moderately polluted,
oligotrophic to mesotrophic, with moderate biodiversity by diatoms and medium
to good water quality. Water quality index (NSF-WQI) showed consistency with physical
and chemical parameters.
