Reliable estimation of changes in water quality parameters in the country's reservoirs is important for efficient planning and exploitation of water resources on a temporal and spatial scale. In this study, firstly, the evaluation of the changes in the water quality parameters of Khoda Afarin Dam at the two inlet and outlet stations to the dam during the study period of the water year 1400 and 1401 was considered. Then IRWQI, NSFWQI and CWQI indexes were used to identify and classify water quality for different uses. According to the obtained results, the maximum values of water quality parameters, including turbidity, total coliform, nitrate, TDS, TSS, EC, DO, BOD5 and COD are respectively equivalent to 5900 (NTU), 35000 (MPN/100 ml), 11.3, 1001.7, 5580, 1590 (us/cm), 12.3, 5.5 and 32 (mg/L) were estimated. According to the obtained results, the BOD at the outlet of the dam is reduced by 10.3% compared to the inlet. The reason for its decrease compared to the inlet station is the decrease in the decomposition of organic matter and its conversion into inorganic compounds, which can be attributed to the activity of bacteria. The average value of COD for the inlet and outlet of Khodaafrin Dam was calculated as 13.4 and 13.8 mg/lit, respectively, which shows an increase of 2.9%. By evaluating the values of water quality indicators, it was found that the range of changes of IRWQI and NSFWQI indicators at the outlet of Khodaafrin dam was between 39 to 72.4 and 54 to 78, respectively. Also, based on the CWQI index, this value was calculated as 40, which indicates the improvement of water quality at the outlet of the dam.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT
Water reservoirs have become very vulnerable due to the entry of pollutants, nutrients, organic substances and suspended solids from the basin. This is caused by human activities such as mining, animal husbandry, waste production and disposal (industrial, urban and agricultural), increased runoff, sedimentation or soil erosion due to land use change and heavy metal pollution. In such a situation, paying attention to the quality monitoring and protection of surface water resources has become one of the main criteria for the sustainable development of water resources in any country. Therefore, water quality management requires the collection and analysis of data sets of water quality parameters, which can be evaluated using water quality indicators. Water quality indicators are presented according to the importance of quality parameters for each country, which will be investigated in this study.
In this study, 16 water samples were taken during eight stages in the study period of the water year 1400 and 1401 in order to compare and evaluate the quality of water at the two inlet and outlet stations of the Khoda Afarin dam reservoir, and a wide range of water quality parameters were analyzed. Also, in order to obtain a better and more comprehensive understanding of the quality conditions of the Aras River in the upstream and downstream of the Khodaafrin Dam, the quality indicators of surface water resources of Iran (IRWQI), the water quality index of the National Health Foundation (NSFWQI) and the water quality index of Canada (CCME) was used to analyze the quality parameters of water and the factors influencing the reduction of water quality were identified.
According to the results, one of the largest percentage changes between the upstream and downstream of the tank is related to the water turbidity parameter. Because the average water turbidity for the inlet of the tank was recorded as 1155.6 (NTU), and the average of this parameter was measured at the outlet of the dam tank as 18.2 (NTU), which represents a change of 98.4%. Also, TSS, EC and TDS parameters have decreased by 97.5%, 17.2% and 17.1% respectively in the outlet of the tank compared to the inlet of the dam. The water quality status in terms of IRWQI_SC index is relatively normal in autumn and winter, but in spring and summer both at the entrance and exit of the dam, the quality of water is relatively bad. NSFWQI index also works seasonally in line with IRWQI_SC index, with the difference that relatively this index shows more optimistic results compared to IRWQI_SCindex, but the difference in water quality is evident in different seasons. According to the CWQI index, the general condition of water quality is in the poor category, but it has the most favorable conditions for cattle consumption and is in the excellent category. The quality of water for agriculture was also estimated to be relatively good.
Considering the existing conditions, it is necessary to take serious measures to prevent or reduce the entry of all kinds of pollutants into the river and the reservoir of the dam (especially the mineral effluents of Armenia).
In addition to increasing the quality of water, this will also reduce the environmental and health consequences of these pollutions in the region.
