Different frequency distributions models were fitted to the monthly data of raw water
Turbidity at water treatment plants (WTPs) along Tigris River in Baghdad. Eight water treatment
plants in Baghdad were selected, with raw water turbidity data for the period (2008-2014). The
frequency distribution models used in this study are the Normal, Log-normal, Weibull,
Exponential and two parameters Gamma type. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to
evaluate the goodness of fit. The data for years (2008-2011) were used for building the models.
The best fitted distributions were Log-Normal (LN) for Al-Karkh, Al-Wathbah, Al-Qadisiya, Al-
Dawrah and, Al-Rashid WTPs. Gamma distribution fitted well for East Tigris and Al-Karamah
WTPs. As for Al-
