Abstract EN

This study deals with the morphometric properties for the floods of the western hill in Al-Najaf Alashraf city.

The number of floodsin the study area reached (48) floods, in a space of 271, 908679 KM in a ratio of 1% from the total of the study area which is totally covered 25860274602 KM, where the most of them are located in the middle of the study area and reached to the borders of Saudi Arabia, there are also some floods that locate on the cleavages in the same area or near them, rather than exciting at the end of the floods or the convergence of some rivers that pour in higher rivers (map 1).

The floods dimensions (length and periphery) have been divided into five categories and through the shape properties, they inferred that there are 15 floods that nearly come to be shaped as rectangle and 13 of them near in shape totriangle while there are 20 floods that are between the both shapes of tringle and rectangle.
