Abstract

The low Alsalibat important depressions which are located in southern Iraq, specifically in the provinces of Muthanna, DhiQar, and within walking distance of the course of the Euphrates River, a distance, though construction Tectonic for low falls within the scope of the seam between the sidewalk stable (sedimentary easy) others and sidewalk Mstqralamtmthel b (Western plateau). The region has been affected by tectonic movements that stretched from the eras third time until the Holocene of time four-wheel, and had the effect of these movements played a major role in the low configuration, in addition to contrast the influence of other factors of the geological structure and topography and the climate and soil in its composition, low and is considered one of the natural reservoirs the task of water in the region, it shall take the tank to the Euphrates River excess during the flood period, as well as water valleys, as it ends a series of valleys that varies from the discharged water per class between the valley and the last. Of these valleys it starts flowing from inside Saudi territory, and denounced it as a drainage starts from inside Iraqi territory, as well as so that the center of this low represents Lake Hoare Itbainun in terms of depth on the one hand to the other.
