- The quality of the water in Iraq’s Hilla River has been severely degraded as a result of human activities and industrial development. The QUAL2K model, a widely used one-dimensional water quality model, was used to simulate the river’s water quality parameter of CBODu and DO utilizing river and point-source flows rate as well as quality of water metrics observed along the river. Despite a severe lack of data in the research region, the QUAL2K model was determined to be an adequate instrument for the evaluation of quality of water. Simulated results of DO, BOD5, and temperature for the period (October 2022) showed the robustness of the model. Results showed that the two parameters (CBOD and DO) ranged between (9.5 and 10.65) mg/L and between (1.425 and 3.075) mg/L, respectively. Based on statistics, good agreement was found between the model predictions and field data. Thus, using QUAL2K model is an effective tool to manage the river water quality.
