Abstract

The research is concerned with the study of water in terms of its characteristics and movement on the surface of the earth as well as its subsoil. Water has an essential role in human life and vital economics. It is the most influential aspect and determined human and agricultural activity in the study area. The study aims to estimate the size of the water discharge of the private lake and the extent of the control of natural factors over the variation of water flow, and to clarify the hydrological meanings of the water network of the Wadi Basin. The research concluded that the study area is located within the geographical boundaries of the city of Kirkuk, but the effect of the Jal station seems more obvious in the area, due to the proximity of the geographical location of the station to the basin. Through the derivation of the study area, where the total area of the basin of (232.6 km2) was extracted. As for the basins that flow into the lake, where their number reached (9), where the real length of the main private valley basin, which represents the river course in all its zigs, was (26.40 km), while the ideal length of the basin, which represents a straight length starting from the mouth of the valley to the farthest point in the perimeter of the basin, was (21.4 km), results showed us through the application of the equation, showing that the elongation rate of the main basin amounted to (0.47). As for the secondary basins, they were classified into categories according to elongation, as the research recommends raising the level of cultural awareness among citizens and peasants in guidance with water consumption in order to conserve water and reduce water consumption for population, agricultural and livestock uses, the installation of modern hydrological stations to record the readings of drains.
