Hydrological Applications for the Regulation of Water Discharge (Hezob River, Northern Iraq Case Study)

Abstract

This research aims to study the quantitative hydrological properties of Hizob River and the discharge quantity control with time . several to model were used to increase the time of river effluent , espically in the time of draught , and its suitably for investment in water harvestment in water harvesting progects . A software models were used to classify and analyze a morphology of the study area to achiere a basic data that required in water harvesting applications . The analysis of climate data shown that the average temperature in the study area between ( 18.4 – 21.4 )om , while the average rainfall depth between (524.5 – 676.1)mm annually. The annual surface runoff of the study area were estimated as (240,688,100)m3, This water harvested quantities can be use to trwated the effect of draught problems in the summer season where the discharge of river reached to( 9.7)m3 s while the discharge of the river in winter season reached to (75.6)m3s .Morphometrical properties were analysis to understand the hydrological behavior of the river basin . The geological ,geomorphological,and hydrological maps were used as a layer to producea map that explained impprtant sites which comfortable for several water harvested progect .
