Abstract
River erosion in the study area is considered one of the geomorphological phenomena that has a direct impact on the soil of the region, whether through flooding, erosion, transport, and sedimentation to other areas. The area from the left side of Qayyarah district, up to the borders of Makhmur, is one of the areas that experiences these phenomena, represented by the occurrence of seasonal floods, especially during the rainy season from the Greater Zab River in the north of the region, as a result of the high volume of river discharges from the Tigris River adjacent to the region, or from the lands sloping from the northeast of the Makhmur Highlands.
