“…Mesopotamian sediments cover the central part of syncline depression. Geologically, the study area mainly includes quaternary sediments from the Pliocene to the Miocene [6]. The province of Babylon within the study area is characterized by a gentle surface with a slope of approximately 22cm/km, the general orientation of the slopes in the study area is from northwest to east and southeast parts [7].…”

The research deals with the study of the hydrological properties of the water of the great Musaiyab. The chemical and physical properties of water showed that the electrical conductivity ranged between 1196-1250 μs/cm and the pH ranges between 6.44-7.46 with an average of 7.06, the TDS percentage ranged between720-914 ppm while the hardness values range between 420-576 ppm. The results cations and anions shows that the major them is calcium, sodium, bicarbonate and sulfate. As for the minor metals, the nitrate ranges between 16.484-22.265 ppm with an average of 18.515 ppm and the phosphate ranges between 1.371-12.360 ppm with an average of 8.049 ppm. The heavy elements, the lead Pb ranged between 3.3196-3.5644 ppm with an average of 3.469 ppm and the copper Cu ranges between 2.3760-2.5099 ppm with average 2.415 ppm, cadmium Cd ranges between 0.1087-0.2463 ppm with average 0,14 ppm, cobalt Co ranges between 2.0816-2.3192 ppm with average 2.195 ppm, zinc Zn ranges between 0.0116-0.2898 ppm with average 0.1249 ppm, while iron Fe ranges between 0.0-0.4780 ppm with average 0.1618 ppm maximum.

A geotechnical, geological and physical properties of soil in Hilla city in middle of Iraq was conducted, three boreholes over geotechnical purposes were examined. The analysis of the soil was performed in the laboratory of Babylon University / College of Science, using samples of three boreholes dug in the study area. furthermore examining the ground water impacts assessment to identify any problems that occurring in study site. The most soil at the site is a cohesive mixture of brown silty clay and clayey silt. In accordance to the unified soil classification system (USCS), the soil that cohesive is clay (CL) Clay with low plasticity. In addition to poorly graded silty sand, small graded layers of coherence-less silty sand were observed at various locations. The liquid limit (LL) of the samples is ranges from 41 to 46%, with a average of 43.3% . The plastic limit (PI)of samples ranges from 23 to 26% with average of 24.3%, and the Activity (A) values which is less than 0.75 % are classified as inactive clays. The active clays typically have activity ranges from 0.75 to 1.25% . The activity of sample greater than 1.25% are active of clay ; however, the test findings show that the majority of the sample of soil had activity less than 0.75%, indicating inactive clay. The chemical examinations of the soil revealed that the proportions of sulfates (SO3) ranges from 0.26 to 1.1% with average of 0.76 %, total soluble salts (TSS) ranges from 2.16 to 8.59% with average of 5.91%, organic matter (ORG) ranges from 0.41 to 0.65% with average of0.52%, gypsum content ranges from 1.7 to 4.62% with average of 3.41%, calcium carbonates content (CaCO3) ranges from 2 to 8% with average of 5.4%, PH ranges from 7.8 to 8.1 with average of 7.9 and chloride (Cl) ranges from 0.04 to 0.051% with average of 0.044 %.The groundwater table is approximately 1.70 m below the ground level. The leakage of water surrounding the foundations could cause erosion beneath the foundations.
