Ecological and morphological study of Iraqi Southern marshes.

Abstract

Southern marshlands and its surroundings area distinguished by freshwater environment dominance. Draining mechanism of southern Iraqi marshland wase dependas on the previews hydraulic constructions established on the Tigris-Euphrates river coerces-such as of these constructions is Al-Hindayah dilce on Euphrates river Al-Kut daw on Tigris river and earthn dike between Al-Gurnah and Al-Mudainah Cities near Al-Hammar marsh. This study describes the existing env. and evaluating a geomorphological setting of Southern marshland, accomplished with a principle soil analysis, which medicating an increasing of organs matter, CaCO3 and EC values, and decries of pH. This study also mention to dreamy processes and environmental problems dire to marshland drying. A tectonic and morphological mtermalat they are also included.
