Assessment of Groundwater Recharge Potential Depending on Morphologic Analysis in East of Wasit, Southeastern Iraq

Modern technologies are used for watershed management to cope with drought risks in arid and semi-arid regions. The study aimed conduct a morphometric analysis know potential groundwater recharge areas the eastern region of Wasit Province. Remote sensing GIS data were analysis. results adopted Digital Elevation Model. verified by matching what exists reality. area first basin was 1482.017, as it is largest from area, percent 51.228% total all basins. percentage first-degree flows reached 83.37% basin, 74.14% second 75.51% third 75.75% fourth streams each basin. bifurcation rate (3.135-4.233), Stream frequency range values (0.543-0.332), drainage texture coarse, low density that ranged between 0.986-1.14 km/km2 elongation ratio ranging 0.348-0.624 form factor (0.095-0.316). basins' circularity (0.105-0.238) relief value (951-112) m infiltration number (0.369-0.535). All basins have longitudinal shape lead formation floods rapid currents, which exposes seasonal creation flash cause soil erosion analyses intensity results. It low, this an indication ground has high permeability. flow indicate exposed small amounts rain coarse comparing result parameters can be known, n showed occurs highest possible lowest Morphometric performed ARC-GIS(Arc-map10.4).
