Assessment of heavy metals and ecological risk in the sediments of Thi Qar and Basrah governorates - Southern Iraq

The distribution of heavy metals in surface sediment in the four sites of Thi Qar governorate and one site in the eastern part of Basrah governorate were investigated in order to detect the environmental characteristics in these areas. The texture of sandysilt, silt and sandymud are dominant in the study area. The distribution of heavy metals follows the pattern Fe> Ti> Mn > V >Cr > Zn> Pb >Ni >Cu > Co> As. The heavy metals content was reduced in the sandy sediments and low TOC. The heavy metals had a positive correlation with the silt fraction in the sediments of the study area. Sediments alkalinity found with a positive relationship with TOC content. The values of Fe, Zn, Pb, V, and Co were lower than their content in the world wild sedimentary rocks, while Ti, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cu, and As were higher than their content in the world wide sedimentary rocks. The spatial distribution of heavy metals is higher in the Majnoon oil field compared with the other areas. An approach utilizes various contamination indices (Enrichment Factor EF, Geoaccumulation index Igeo, Contamination Factor CF, and Ecological risks Er) were used to evaluate a contamination degree. The values of the contamination indices showed no/low sediment contamination with Co, Zn, Pb, Cu, V, Fe, and Mn in the Chibayish, Nasiriyah city center, and Tal Abu Dahab. Moderate contamination with Ti and Cr in the Suq Al-Shuyukh, Majnoon oil field and Chibayish, while considerable contamination with Ni and As in the Majnoon oil field. The results of Er showed low heavy metals ecological risks.

Ground Water Hydrochemical Assessment at Rifai-Nasiriya district, Thi Qar Governorate- South Iraq

The climate parameters (rainfall, Number of rainy days and temperature) data for the period from 1941 to 2009 for Nasiriya were investigated. The output reflect minimizing the numbers of rainy days and means yearly precipitation in the Nasiriya station, with the maximizing the yearly mean temperature. The chemical properties of sixteen samples of the shallow groundwater of the Quaternary sediments at Rifai-Nasiriya district are examined. Groundwater analysis indicates that the values of pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) are in the range of (6.9 to 7.8), (1645 to 68509) µS/cm, and (1158 to 47956) mg/l respectively. The results of groundwater analyses show brackish to salty water classes and indicate slightly mineralized to mineralized water. The groundwater is of two catigories Sulphate group with three families (Na - SO4) and (Mg - SO4), while the second is Chloride group having two families, (Ca- Cl) and (Na - Cl). The evaporation and dissolution of the evaporate rocks (gypsum and anhydrite) are the main factors affecting the groundwater as well as the weathering of the carbonate rocks. The water is not good because of the high salinity for any usage.

Using Multivariate Analysis to Study the Spread of Transitional Diseases in Iraq

Medical and technological development has achieved continuous successes during the last period. However, the statistics received from the World Health Organization (WHO) show the suffering that millions of people are subjected to daily as a result of their exposure to transitional diseases. The most prevalent transitional disease in the Iraqi provinces and for all age groups for both genders is water pox disease, followed by cutaneous leishmaniosis and then mumps. The most affected governorate with transitional diseases is Baghdad Governorate (Rusafa Sector), followed by Dhi Qar Governorate and Baghdad (Al Karkh Sector). The most age-groups affected with transition diseases are the categories (5-9) years for males, followed by (5-9) years for females. The highest total contribution to the first axis was for cutaneous leishmaniasis, followed by mumps, then Basil dysentery, as for the absolute contribution in the first axis, it was Dhi Qar Governorate, followed by Baghdad. There are more than 14,000,000 people who die each year because of these diseases, and most infections are concentrated in developing countries, including Iraq. Hence, this research is vital to examine the extent of transitional diseases in Iraq for different age groups, both male and female gender. The use of the multivariate method, which is the correspondence analyses, it was found through the research that Baghdad (Rusafa Sector) has a high incidence of transitional diseases and the largest age group at risk of transitional diseases is (5-9) years form male gender.

Determinants of demand for banking facilities a practical study of a sample of beneficiaries in DHI QAR governorate

Banking facilities are a very important function, as banking departments are concerned about the most important aspects of the recruitment of their funds and the main source of their revenues, The banks have been and continue to act as a financial intermediary between the audience of depositors and investors, they collect savings and guide them to different areas of investment, So we find it interested in the development of credit policies that take into account the achievement of the objectives of the bank and satisfy the requirements of customers and banking laws and legislation, From here, the research highlighted the most important factors affecting the demand for these facilities by applying to a sample of beneficiaries in Dhi Qar Governorate through the distribution of a questionnaire form designed for that purpose, The results of the study showed that the most important of these factors is the high interest rates and discount, which is an obstacle in the request for banking facilities, In light of these recommendations, the most important of which was the need to reconsider the interest rates and discount to encourage customers to request banking facilities and commensurate with the prevailing economic situation and investment opportunities available. Â

Comparison of Different DEM Generation Methods based on Open Source Datasets

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is one of the developed techniques for relief representation. The definition of a DEM construction is the modeling technique of earth surface from existing data. DEM plays a role as one of the fundamental information requirement that has been generally utilized in GIS data structures. The main aim of this research is to present a methodology for assessing DEMs generation methods. The DEMs data will be extracted from open source data e.g. Google Earth. The tested data will be compared with data produced from formal institutions such as General Directorate of Surveying. The study area has been chosen in south of Iraq (Al-Gharraf / Dhi Qar governorate. The methods of DEMs creation are kriging, IDW (inverse distance weight), spline, and natural neighbor. This research used different software for processing and analysis such as ArcGIS 10.2, TCX and Civil 3D. Two- sample t-test has been adopted to investigate the mean of elevation differences between compared datasets. The results showed that the spline is the best method that can be used to build DEM in this study area.

Effect of Tail Regulators on Euphrates River Flood Capacity at Al Nassiriyah City

Euphrates River extends about 125 km within the study area located in Annassiriyah City, Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq. The impact of the seven hydraulic structures on the discharge capacity of the Euphrates River needs to be considered. The main objectives of this research are to increase the discharge capacity of Euphrates River within Annassiriyah City during flood seasons and study the impact of these hydraulic structures on the river capacity by using HEC-RAS 5.0.3 software. Five scenarios were simulated to study the different current condition of Euphrates River within Annassiriyah City. Other additional four scenarios were implemented through river training to increase the river capacity to 1300 m³/s; it is the flood of 100 year return period. The results of the current condition showed that the maximum discharge capacity of Euphrates River within Annassiriyah City is just 300 m³/s. The results of applied improvements show that the capacity can reach 1300 m³/s when Al Chibayish Weir was hypothetically removed from the river system. Additionally, the river capacity will be reduced to 600 m³/s when Al Chibayish Weir is considered. It was concluded that the 100-year flood discharge cannot be achieved without removing Al Chibayish Weir from the river system.
