“…The other four catchments are Khabour, Greater-Zab, Ozem, and Sirwan (Diyala) [1]. The Lesser-Zab (also known as Little Zab or Lower Zab) originates in Iran and mixes with the Tigris River in Iraq.…”

“…Toma [6], Saeed et al [7] and Fakhrey [8] conducted different studies on the Greater-Zab River water. Several works examined the limnological effects of Lesser-Zab on the quality of the Tigris River water [1,2]. However, there exists a knowledge gap in the variation of some physical and chemical water quality parameters for both the Lesser-Zab River and Alton Kopri wastewater.…”

A B S T R A C TThis work aimed to study the impact of Alton Kopri wastewater on the Lesser-Zab River water. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the impacts of the formed wastewater on the Lesser-Zab River using the mass balance principle (MBP) and provide appropriate solutions to this problem. Fresh samples from Alton Kopri wastewater and the Lesser-Zab River water were collected from February 2013 to September 2013. The samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, total acidity, chloride, turbidity, solids, dissolved oxygen, 5-day biochemical oxygen demand, and sulfate. Results presented graphically demonstrated that Alton Kopri wastewater can be classified as medium-to strongtype wastewater, whereas the Lesser-Zab River can be categorized as a moderately polluted river and moderately hard to hard water. The application of MBP revealed that Alton Kopri wastewater affected the Lesser-Zab River water; hence, appropriate solutions were outlined to minimize the impact of the former on the water resource and treatment of the latter.

“…Droughts have negatively impacted the wide range of areas in the studied region. However, floods only sometimes happened over the winter season due to of heavy rainfall and the lack of dams and artificial drainage networks, which result in socioeconomic damages in the region Al-Ansari 2013;Saeedrashed and Guven 2013;Al-Ansari et al 2014;Devi et al 2015). To date, the LZRB runoff has significantly declined during recent water years as reported by various studies (Chen and Xu 2005;Saeedrashed and Guven 2013).…”

Anthropogenic interventions such as dam and reservoir constructions, irrigation and drainage systems, land use and land cover alterations in addition to climate change have been considered to be the main reasons for the decline in the LZRB runoff Bozkurt et al 2015).…”

Multi-regression, hydrologic sensitivity and hydrologic model simulations were applied to quantify the climate change and anthropogenic intervention impacts on the Lower Zab River basin (LZRB). The Pettitt, precipitation-runoff double cumulative curve (PR-DCC) and Mann-Kendall methods were used for the change points and significant trend analyses in the annual streamflow. The long-term runoff series from 1979 to 2013 was first divided into two main periods: a baseline (1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997) and an anthropogenic intervention period (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). The findings show that the mean annual streamflow changes were consistent using the three methods. In addition, climate variability was the main driver, which led to streamflow reduction with contributions of 66-97% during 2003-2013, whereas anthropogenic interventions caused reductions of 4-34%. Moreover, to enhance the multimodel combination concept and explore the simple average method (SAM), Hydrologiska Byrans Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV), Génie Rural a Daily 4 parameters (GR4J) and Medbasin models have been successfully applied.

“…There are many studies on GIS in the literature. GIS were used to make morphometric analysis of debris flows and their source areas [1], to make a spatially distributed model for runoff routing [2], to estimate the instantaneous unit hydrograph by Clark's method [3], to estimate geomorphologic parameters of lower Zab river basin [4], or to study the integrated hydrological modelling and GIS in water resources management [5].…”

In this study, the geomorphologic parameters of Damlıca basin are determined by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The digital elevation model (DEM) of the basin is downloaded from Aster-GDEM web page and this digital map is used in the GIS computer program to obtain the geomorphologic parameters of the Damlıca basin, such as the area of the basin, its perimeter, river length, slope, etc. The extracted parameters are compared with the parameters obtained by conventional methods. This study shows that the geomorphologic parameters of the Damlıca basin obtained using GIS are much more precise than those produced by conventional methods.
