Future directions for the development of groundwater in the Al-Jazeera region, Al-Anbar Governorate
Abstract
It is classified within the dry climate regions famous for low rainfalls and lack of everlasting water resources. Therefore, underground water is the only water resource utilized in investment processes in the area of the study.After studying the most important for the region and the underground water development, it has been clear that the amount of water accumulated from local rainfalls to feed the underground tanks exceed 800.9 million cubic meters. Also using the magnetic system increases the efficiency of underground water to more than 80% and the productivity of agricultural crops to more than 35%. This will increase the chances for agricultural crops variation and raise the investment levels in the region. Depending on the natural givens, a map has been drawn to show the most important candidate locations for investment and well digging where the probability of underground water availability increases due to intensity and divergence of structural phenomena, which gives an excellent hydrological position and, consequently, a possibility to invest underground water and future agricultural expansion.
