The present effort is expected to consider the groundwater quality of the Erbil Central Basin. In this study, we compared the physiochemical properties and distribution of major cations and anions in groundwater to evaluate the quality assessment as a special usage (drinking and irrigation) and identify the sources and types of water quality variat...

The hydrochemical characteristics of surface water are studied to understand their source, type of water, and evolution. This study aims to determine the hydrochemical characteristics and controlling factors, by evaluating the water quality of the Sidakan�Balakyan River. The samples were collected along the Sidakan-Balakyan River to the junction...

Major, trace, rare earth elements (REE), and stable isotopic compositions in carbonate rocks of Pila Spi Formation were measured to constrain the source of rare earth elements and depositional environment. The low ΣREE content (average = 6.53 ppm, n = 14) indicates that the carbonates seawater-like REE patterns with (1) LREE depletion (average (Nd/...

Derbendikhan Reservoir is located 60 km southeast of Sulaimani City in Kurdistan Region, northeastern Iraq. Water hydrochemistry of Derbendikhan Reservoir is examined to assess its quality and the effect of human activities such as waste disposal, agricultural uses, and industrial pollution. Forty-four water samples were collected and investigated...

The Lesser Zab River is one of the most important catchment that hosts the largest dam (Dokan Dam) in the Kurdistan region, northern Iraq. It is one of three major tributaries of the Tigris River that drain the Foothills and Zagros Mountains. A total of 146 water samples were collected from the Lesser Zab River and the intervening Dokan reservoir,...
