Abstract
The research aims to reveal the analysis of the morphometric characteristics of the northern mountain Bekhair basins within the Sulaymaniyah belt. Its area is estimated (264.22 km2). Its rocky and sedimentary formations date back to the triple and quadruple periods of sandstone, limestone and gypsum rocks located astronomically between two latitudes (31 01 00 – 31 08 00) north And longitudes (42 20 00- 42 50 00) east, while administratively in Dohuk Governorate it extends from Dohuk to Zakho along the village of Fishkhabur at the Iraqi-Turkish border, and lies within the semi-arid climate that is characterized by high temperatures and its average during the month of July (34, ( 33.7 centigrade, respectively, for the two stations of Dohuk - Zakho, and the annual average rainfall amounted to (512.7,559) mm respectively.The morphometric characteristics of the basins were studied and it was found that the basins have shapes that tend to elongate and this reduces the possibility of flooding, and it has a steep slope as the slope of the area reaches.
