Abstract

Hor Al_Hammar is considered a natural low land which could make use of in the management of water resources for southern Iraqi areas . At the time in which Iraq is in greatest need for water to cover it’s different requirements , about (19) milliard cubic meter drained yearly in the arabian gulf through Shatt Alarab .This paper goal is to estimate the water capacity of Hor Al_Hammar also it’s live and dead storage capacity , in order to make use of excess of need water which can be used during drought seasons .SRTM image acquired at 2000 used in DEM file , in addition to Landsat-1 image earned through MSS in 1973 for the near infra red band to estimate the depths and boundaries of Hor Al_Hammar . That was done by the aid of computer program systems (Erdas-8.4 ; Global mapper-6 ; Surfer-7 ; Arcview- 3.3 ) which are used integrally to process used images and extract the information.The paper found relations between the water capacity of Hor Al_Hammar and the water levels inside it also water capacity and water surface area , which in turn emphasis the necessity of applying such a technique in water resources administration and development projects in Iraq as it represents an effective tool in gaining the best and fastest results with the cheapest costs.
