Kawlokan Weir Project

Water Resources DepartmentPresenter: Yaseen Wsu AzizWeirs is a hydraulic structure constructed a cross rivers for many purposes. Kawlokan series weir project is a series weir constructed on Choman river, the last weir reservoir is extended to Jundian. Since the aim of the project is for turism varies shapes are provided. In the design alternative the […]

Sediment Estimation of the Mosul Dam Reservoir using SWAT and Dual ANN Models

Water resources departmentPresenter: Dr. Abdulwahid Ali KassemManaging sediment in river basins and waterways became a key point in water management. The continuous sediment deposition from the rivers and streams flowing to the reservoirs is today’s problem. When precipitation falls, the process of separating the soil grains and trying to transport them due to the energy

Seismic Activity in Kurdistan

Water Resources Department Presenter:Shuwan Jawdat Barzanjy. Kurdistan is situated in a highly seismic area, formed by theinteraction of the Arabian, Eurasian, and Anatolian tectonic plates.The ongoing collision of these plates creates significant geological features, such as the Zagros and Taurus mountains, and makes the region prone to powerful earthquakes, particularly along the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt

Rainwater Harvesting

Water resources departmentBinahi M.Amin Said AliDate:28/4/2026Rainwater Harvesting Water is our most valuable natural resource, yet freshwater supplies are increasingly limited due to population growth, climate change, and overuse.Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable and sanitary method of collecting and storing rainwater for later use. It reduces dependence on groundwater and municipal water systems, helping to conserve

CO₂ injection into fresh concrete

Water resources department Cement manufacture, which includes limestone calcination and fuel burning, is a major source ofworldwide carbon dioxide emissions. Injecting CO₂ into fresh concrete is an innovative way tolower the carbon footprint of construction materials. During the mixing step, a little amount ofcarbon dioxide is added. The injected CO₂ interacts with calcium ions, forming

The Standardized precipitation Index

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a statistical tool used to monitor and assess drought conditions based solely on precipitation data. It measures how rainfall over a specific period deviates from the long-term average and expresses it in standard deviation units. Positive values indicate wet conditions, while negative values indicate drought, with different categories representing

Hydrological Response Unit (HRUs)

Presenter:Dr.Abdulwahid Ali qasmWater resources departmentDate 11/2/2026 Hydrological Response Unit (HRUs)is a fundamental, homogeneous unit used in watershed modeling, created by overlaying maps of land use, soil type, and land slope. HRUs represent areas expected to behave similarly in response to weather events, enabling the simulation of water, sediment, and nutrient loading, particularly in tools like
