From the graphs above, we can say that the most effective contamination sourcesKhor Al-Zubair, are the industrial & agricaltural activities,Oil spil,

the site is surrondining by industries, Sheeba Refinary, chemical complex,power Plants, Fertilizers factory, many other smaller ones,(oil station ...)

There is a good agricalture activity nearby, so we can see the peticides & nitrogene in the KZ river water which effected the water quality. the waste water plant is not sufficient & competent , so we can observe a percentage of pollution in it s output water.

Dusty winds & tides are good transporters , Runoff as well

Oil pollution is remarkable( many oil feilds around , which effected the water &Sediments as well ,

Um Qasr port is polluted because of Shipping , Oil, Urban Area,the industrial activity is not one of the main sources,the harbour is one of the most active &busy ports for oil ships-Tanker in the world.

Dusty winds & tides are good transporters , Runoff as well

Khor Abdulla is the river mouthto the Arbian (persian ) gulf. oil spil +shipping are the main pollution sources, no industry & agriculture available around, the sea currents play important role as pollution transporter
