A potting experiment was carried out to determine the impact of water treated with nanomaterials (nano zero-valent iron, nano-carbon, nano-clay, Portland cement, white cement) and Euphrates River water compared with untreated water (Haditha diesel power plant water) on plant height and dry weight yield of the barley crop Hordeum Vulgar L. A factorial experiment was applied according to RCBD design using two factors (water quality and two soil types) with three replicates. The results showed that the desert soil was superior to sedimentary soil in plant height and dry weight by 8.53 and 16.67%, respectively. As for water treatments, water treated with nZVI, P cement, w cement, n carbon, and n clay were superior at 15.82, 13.77, 11.31, 9.24, and 3.08%, respectively, compared to untreated water. There were significant differences in terms of dry weight with increases of 34.43, 32.67, 31.02, and 31.02% for each of the water treated with n clay, water treated with P cement, water treated with w cement, and water treated with n carbon, respectively, compared to the untreated water. As for the water treated with nZVI, it harmed dry weight. The dry weight decreased by 43.12% compared to the dry weight of untreated water. The results also showed that the plant leaves were free of cadmium
