For the availability of drinking water, saline water treatment has become exceedingly necessary. The purpose of this research was to determine how efficient electrocoagulation (EC) with monopolar iron electrodes was for desalinating water from Iraq’s Sawa Lake. Absolute dissolved solids (TDS), chloride (Cl), bromine (Br), and sulfate (SO4) are some of the salty water forms that are being targeted. The impacts of five considerations on treatment efficiency were studied, including current (I), detention time (RT), pH, speed of mixing stirring (Mrpm), and inter-electrode distance (IED). I=0.8A, RT=80 minutes, pH=8, IED=1cm, and Mrpm=500 were found to be the best values. TDS, Cl, Br and SO4 removal efficiencies were 91 percent, 93 percent, 92 percent, and 90 percent, respectively, under ideal conditions. It can be inferred that the EC system used in this research was operative in removing salts from the water of Sawa lake.
