Maps of levels of suitability and land ability are produced, showing that the flood plain unit is far from the floods of the Zab River and the aggregate plain unit toward the southeast are the most suitable lands for exploitation (slope 8, erosion 6, slope direction 4, risks of floods torrential rains and tectonic activity 2, linear and earthquakes 1.5) are classified into three levels, low, medium and high-risk areas.
