Water pollution is one of the most important environmental challenges and also one of the main causes of death in the world. Transporting oil products on roads by trucks and their accidents lead to the release of these chemicals into the environment, resulting in water resources pollution. Thus, the main goal of this study is to evaluate the risk assessment of the water resources pollution in the road of Sanandaj to Marivan, Kurdistan province, Iran. Six scenarios for four types of hazardous materials in two seasons of the years were considered. The road was then segmented, and the probability of accidents in each segment was calculated by the Poisson regression method. Two scenarios were selected for analysis since truck accidents had happened mainly in spring (scenario 1) and winter (scenario 4). According to the results, the total risk of water contamination path is 20%very low, 19% low, 29% moderate, 28% high, and 4% very high. Also, according to scenario 1, 14% of the total area of the study area is very low risk, 23% low risk, 15% medium risk, 6% high risk, and 42% are very high risk. Based on scenario 4, 39% of the total area of the study area has a very low risk, 44% low risk, 13% medium risk, 4% high risk. This simply means that this road is not very suitable for transporting hazardous oil products.
