Groundwater wells in District of Qazaniya and ways of investing them

Abstract

District of Qazaniya is located to the southeast of Diyala governorate along the Iraqi-Iranian borders. It depends on groundwater wells because the lack of surface water sources. So a large number of these wells have been drilled to compensate for the shortage of water. These wells are affected by many natural factors in the study area. These wells were concentrated in the alluvial fans areas, whose sediments help give a great opportunity for the process of filtration of water in to the ground to become an important source of groundwater in the region. These chopper  functions, which are100 m thick near Mandali and 65 m near Badra, were formed by the action of topography, as the area suddenly descends from the Iranian side towards the study area. This large slope makes the large valleys (Harran, Muwailih, Al- Hizam , Leima , Tahlou , Al-Mualla, Tarsak , Siyabeh , Sushrin (that coming from Iran which feeds the area with rainwater to groundwater to throw their loads of sediment in the form of choppers along the Iraqi-Iranian borders, and with the help of the natural vegetation  in the area that limits the speed of water that penetrates a large quantities. into the soil to feed the reservoirs For groundwater in the region. The geological column of the wells of the study area consists mainly of gravel, sand, silt and mud with the presence of gypsum. The water of these wells are used in multiple domestic, agricultural and industrial usege.
