Study The Variations In Al-Hawizeh Marsh Area Using Maps And Satellite Images

Abstract

The study area is located in the alluvial plain of Iraq, and specifically in the
lower floodplain of the Tigris River, and a low naturally extends to a wide area and
at a shallow depth and works a source of the floods when they occur, and it receives
excess water for various uses. We are using ancient and modern maps with large
scales to see the shape and space boundaries Al-Hawizeh Marsh, was the work mock
maps of the area through a series of satellite images of different dates and with the
help of remote sensing techniques.
From the comparing to Al-Hawizeh Marsh area and make an exact time map of the
marsh shows that the marsh has passed through several stages. Through this research
that we shows the variance in the change recharges rivers rates that feeding of the
Marsh at the months, seasons and years due to the climate changes of this region,
