الملخص الإنجليزي

The study area is located around the City of Hilla (Babylon Governorate), 100 km south of Baghdad City, between Longitude 44026- 65" & 44031-00" E and Latitude 32025-30" & 32031-30" N covering an area of about 117 km² along Shatt Al- Hilla channel.

Shatt AL-Hilla (with a designed discharge of 220 m 3 / sec.) is the only surface water source in the study area and it passes through AL-Hilla City dividing it in to two parts.

City of Hilla, suffers from the high shallow groundwater levels which causes serious problems to agricultural and civil construction activities.

To examine such problems, five different tracks perpendicular to Shatt Al- Hilla channel are selected beside large number of hand dug wells within the area to monitor the relationships among the levels of water between these two water resources during one year.

Water levels of both surface and groundwater levels are monitored monthly over high and low water conditions which are totally controlled by the operation of water regulators along Shatt AL-Hilla channel.

Many maps are made using land elevations, water levels within selected monitoring wells as well as the levels of surface water within Shatt AL-Hilla.

All these maps indicate that there is strong relationship between surface and shallow groundwater in the studied area.

These relationships are vary along the selected tracks depending on many local factors such as.

elevations of lands, operation of irrigational regulators, depth of water in shatt Al-Hilla, seasons high and low water conditions within the two water bodies and the sewage system outputs from the City of Hilla.

According to these findings Shatt Al-Hilla and shallow groundwater reach each other according to the relative water level conditions along each track within the studied area.

Loses of appreciable amount of surface water are experienced in the area due to high evaporations rates in summer season and due to the shallow soil physical VII condition along the soil profile in the area.

Other parameters are used to examine the inter-relationship between the surface and shallow groundwater, namely, chemical analyses of selected water samples from the similar observation points along each of the five tracks during the high and low water level conditions in channel of shatt Al-Hilla.

Using the results of many hydrochemical parameters confirm the similar pattern of inter-relationships between the two water bodies.

In general the results show the concentrations of the examined chemical ions for all examined samples within the studied area are higher within samples representing low water level conditions in channel of shatt Al-Hilla unlike those representing high water level conditions due to process of dilution.
