‏ ‬Assessment Of Runoff Risks Of Wadi Beshadim Basin In Duhok Governorate‬‬‬

Abstract

The study aims to assess the geomorphological risks of the Bashadim Valley Basin in Zakho district, Dohuk Governorate, northeastern Iraq, with an area of ​​​​(113,723 km 2), where the geology of the study area was studied and it was found that it is located within the unstable range within the belt (Sulaymaniyah - Zakho), and the chronological age of formations and sediments varies. The basin is between the third time (the Pliocene), which includes the formations (Fatha, Bey Hassan, Injana, Blasby, and Muqdadiya) and the deposits of the fourth time (the Holocene). And from the study of the characteristics of the runoff, it was found that there are different risks between the basins in the study area

The problem of the study: It is a question that the researcher puts  in his mind in order to answer it, including:

What is the size of the prevailing hydro geomorphological hazards in Wadi Beshadim basin? The study hypothesis: It is the primary answers to the study problem:

 A set of mathematical coefficients is calculated to find out the risk of runoff on different human activities in the study area.
