| Abstract | Background: Scale formation and corrosion continue to cause mild and serious problems in water dispensing systems. Although there are advanced technologies available today, such problems still persist and can lead to health problems and financial damage. Objectives: To delve into this matter, the present study aimed to determine the water potential in terms of scale formation and corrosion in the water resources of villages in the vicinity Harsin town in Iran. Furthermore, the physical and chemical qualities of the water were also studied. Methods: For this descriptive study, samples were prepared from 19 villages during the 8 months of the study duration. These were analyzed according to standard 1053 of Iran water standard and study institution, also calculated for Langelier, Rayzner, Puckorius and aggressive indices for scale formation and corrosion. Results: Indices were 0.80 on Langelier, 6.68 on Rayzner, 10.92 on aggressiveness, and 6.85 on Puckorius calculations. Mean concentrations of calcium, magnesium, fluoride, and ammonium were respectively 63.8 ± 16.89, 21.1 ± 9.08, 0.3 ± 0.26, and 0 ± 0.01 milligram per liter which are reasonable according to national standards. Conclusions: Findings revealed that all physical and chemical indices, and cations and anions of water samples were within a reasonable range. Other parameters involved in causing hardness were also at standard levels. The water resources of Harsin town were healthy in terms of scale formation and corrosion verification, but they still needed close attention in order to keep them within the current appropriate conditions with possible improvements. | en |
