Iraq, a country in the Middle East, has suffered severe drought events past two decades due to significant decrease annual precipitation. Water storage by building dams can mitigate impacts and assure water supply. This study was designed identify suitable sites build new within Al-Khabur River Basin (KhRB). Both fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) weighted sum method (WSM) were used compared select dam sites. A total of 14 layers as input dataset (i.e., lithology, tectonic zones,...
Soil loss (SL) and its related sedimentation in mountainous areas affect the lifetime functionality of dams. Darbandikhan Lake is one example a dam lake Zagros region that was filled late 1961. Since then, has received considerable amount sediments from upstream area basin. Interestingly, series dams have been constructed (13 dams), leading to change rate arriving at main reservoir. This motivated us evaluate different combination equations estimate Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE),...
Summary Oil seeps pose significant environmental hazards to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Traditional mapping techniques encounter logistical political challenges, particularly in complex regions, such as Kirkuk, an area rich oil gas fields. These fields contribute the proliferation of through natural processes industrial activities, underscoring need for efficient detection methods. This study introduces a novel hybrid algorithm, SAM-DT, which combines spectral angle (SAM) with...
Soil loss is one of the most important causes land degradation. It an inevitable environmental and socio-economic problem that exists in many physiographic regions world, which, besides other impacts, has a direct bearing on agricultural productivity. A reliable estimate soil critical for designing implementing any mitigation measures. We applied widely used Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) Khabur River Basin (KhRB) within NW part Zagros Fold Thrust Belt (ZFTB). The areas such as...

The increasing world population and the growing quantity of solid waste have become a challenging problem facing governments policy makers because scarcity suitable sites for new landfills negative perception these by people. This study aims to evaluate performance different Multi-Criteria Decision-Analysis (MCDA) approaches using remote sensing Geographic Information System (GIS) data identifying landfill (LFSs). We evaluated methodologies used various investigators selected appropriate...
Maintaining and enhancing the quality of civil defense services are importance to citizens’ life in any city. During past few decades, expansion settlements Al-Riyadh City has led a shortage distribution centers (CDCs) there. The main aim this study is implement Weighted Sum Method (WSM) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) evaluate CDCs City. Eight criteria (i.e., distance from existing center, accident density, population road, commercial centers, educational services, industrial areas,...
<p>The style of deformation the Himalaya has been proposed to be localized along Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT), underlying entire range and becoming emergent at Frontal (MFT). An alternative model focuses on significance a physiographic boundary known as PT<sub>2, </sub>south Central (MCT), proposes out-of-sequence deformation. It is interesting test these models using variations in drainage basin scale hypsometry range, understand relation between...
