Spatial Analysis of Promising Hydrogeological Basins for Investment in Western Iraq

Abstract

This research aims to show the hydrological of groundwater and its quantities in al-rutba province show its efficiency to meet the needs of population and their varicty activities، through the hydrolical indicators of aquifers، depth and extensions under the environmental challenges due to desert area with low rainfall، high temperature and evaporation ratio. temperatures average ranged (19.8ـــــــ23)5m. rainfall total ranged from (91.8-141) m.m. evaporation total ranged from( 2906-3245.9)m.m . depend on modern softwere database was crated to distribute wells and modeling their hydrolic properties، showed that the water depth range between (5-360)m from the surface and their static levels ranged( 150-550)m.s.l. and the general direction of  its movement  from west to east and northe east. the total of salinity(2981)mg/L. by matching the geological، geomorphological and hydrological map، a new map was drawn shows the promising locations for groundwater investment.
