Abstract EN

The research dealt with the Wadi Kaur al-Tair Basin as one of the important dry basins in the southern Iraqi desert, as the study of the topographical characteristics of the basin is an expression of the relationships between the factors and processes of erosion and the ground phenomena associated with and arising from them, and based on data taken from contour maps, satellite visuals, and the field study of the basin as data of digital elevations DEM, to create a geographical database for the basin, of the importance of the wadi basins and the possibility of their rehabilitation and to provide results and proposals based on the results of the geomorphological characteristics of the basin The focus was on the Koor al-Tair Basin, which constitutes an area of (2414, 42) km2, and is located in the northeastern part of the southwestern desert of Iraq within the administrative borders of Muthanna Governorate.

The basin and its river network under rainy conditions date back to the Pleistocene era.

The analysis of the topographical characteristics of the Wadi al-Tayr basin revealed the extent of their influence in determining the geomorphological processes, and the increase in the activity of the processes of slope retreats and landslides in the region, and thus formed different terrain features between the upper and lower parts of the basin
