Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the spatial and temporal dynamics of the hydrological state of the Mesopotamian alluvial marсhes of Iraq. Various geoecological indicators that determine its state are considered. Such indicators are: human economic activity and other anthropogenic interference, climate and other hydrological indicators.


According to the Landsat 8 satellite for 2017-2019, and using processing programs such as ArcGIS, the water coverage area of Al-Hwizeh AM was calculated.


It is noted that the increase in the water surface area of Al-Hwizeh AM in 2019 due to the increase in precipitation from November 2018 to April 2019, and the influx of water from rivers fed by the Iraqi and Iranian sides.
