“…Fifty-two canals and 968 irrigation ditches branched from it and irrigate an area of 700,000 hectares (Al-Sahaf 1965; US Department of Agriculture 2009). The river geographical position is: longitude 45°47 0 25 00 E, and latitude 32°31 0 55 00 N which gives the river valley semi-arid climate characteristics, such as high temperature in summer, low moisture, few annual rainfall of about 150 mm, high rate of sun radiation, and high rate of evaporation (Saleh 2010;Atiaa 2015).…”

Water quality of Al-Gharraf river, the largest branch of Tigris River south of Iraq, was evaluated by the National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NFS WQI) and the Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI) depending on 13 physical, chemical, and biological parameters of water quality measured monthly at ten stations on the river during 2015. The NSF-WQI range obtained for the sampling sites was 61-70 indicating a medium water quality. The HPI value was 98.6 slightly below the critical value for drinking water of 100, and the water quality in the upstream stations is better than downstream due to decrease in water and the accumulation of contaminants along the river. This study explains the significance of applying the water quality indices that show the aggregate impact of ecological factors in charge of water pollution of surface water and which permits translation of the monitoring data to assist the decision makers.

“…The decay of water quality became a serious threat beside the lack of effective monitoring network, especially in Al-Gharraf basin, which was characterized by a mainly agricultural land use of about 700,000 hectares (Saleh 2010;Al-Ansari 2011).…”

“…These stations are 11 on the River Tigris (TS) and its tributaries and 4 on the River Euphrates (ES) (Figure 1 and Table 5). The data of these stations were adopted from Al-Shahrabaly [16] and Saleh [17]. The water discharges data were used to generate the Trend lines of the discharge versus time using excel program.…”

Iraq is one of the riparian countries within basins of Tigris-Euphrates Rivers in the Middle East region. The region is currently facing water shortage problems due to the increase of the demand and climate changes. In the present study, average monthly water flow measurements for 15 stream flow gaging stations within basins of these rivers in Iraq with population growth rate data in some of its part were used to evaluate the reality of the current situation and future challenges of water availability and demand in Iraq

“…Furthermore, models are an effective tool to understand changes in the lake environment regarding the impact of changing seasonal water storage volume. [8]. Usually, the highest monthly discharge occurs during April and May and there is less discharge in October and September.…”

Not many bathymetric maps are available for many lakes and reservoirs in developing countries. Usually the bathymetric mapping requires investment in expensive equipment and fieldwork, both of which are not accessible in these countries. This work demonstrates the ability to develop bathymetric map of Mosul Lake by using a digital elevation model (DEM). The depths model of the lake was designed through the use of three main stages; a coastline extraction, dataset interpolation and a triangular irregular network model. The normalized difference water index (NDWI) was used for automatic delineation of the lake coastline from satellite images. The ordinary kriging interpolation with a stable model was used to interpolate the water depths dataset. Finally a triangulated irregular network (TIN) model was used to visualize the resulting interpolation model. Calculated values of area and volume of a TIN model during 2011 were compared with values of supposed initial operation of the reservoir. The differences of water volume storage between these stages at 321 m water level was about 0.81 × 10 9 m 3 , where the lake lost around 10% of storage value. Also the results of depths lake model show that the change in water storage between March and July 2011 was about 3.08 × 10 9 m 3 .
