This research aims to give hydraulic engineers and decision-makers an accurate and dependable sediment transport equation that could be utilized to govern river engineering and modify river morphology. This study evaluated the carried sediments and their estimated quantity upstream of the Ramadi Barrage on the Euphrates River in the Anbar area of western Iraq. Six formulas, including Yang, Shen, Hung, Ackers and White, Engelund and Hansen, and Bagnold's and Toffaleti's, were used to evaluate the applicability of sediment transport in the study area. The performance of these models was assessed based on the precision of the actual sediment load relative to a specified deviation ratio. The analyses indicated ...

Due to the climatic changes that take place in different regions of the world, in addition to the increasing population growth, it has become necessary to manage the various water resources in a way that achieves a balance between supply and demand, especially in dry areas that suffer from limited rainfall and high evaporation rates as a result of high temperatures. Iraq has surface water resources that are the main provider of agricultural, industrial, and domestic demand sites, in addition to a strategic store of groundwater that can be used during periods of water scarcity. In this study, the Water Assessment and Planning (WEAP) model was used to assess the current and future demand of the Rutba city in western Iraq for the period (2021 to 2030). The study showed a population increase of 20.9% for the period 2021-2030 which requires water amounting to (4.43) million cubic meters annually by 2030. Currently, water supply to the city is carried out from three different sources, which is through water withdrawal From the Euphrates River through the Qaim and Heet sites, as well as by withdrawing water from a group of wells from Dabaa aquifers east of the city and pumping it to the city of Rutba by pipes, which requires optimal management of the city’s water supply sources to meet the population’s need, especially in light of the high annual costs of the process of transferring the water supply to the city.

The west of Iraq is considered as an arid region and suffers scarcity of rain, which has led to severe drought and seriously affected water resources in terms of quality and quantity. In this study, a numerical model of water resources management for the Euphrates River is applied by using Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP). Anbar Province is selected to apply this model, in order to assess past trends in water resources management and to simulate current demand scenarios which must be known for the decision-makers and water resources managers, namely the reference scenario and the water tax scenario. The results showed that the demand for water in the reference scenario (2040) will be 2819.35 million cubic meters per year while the corresponding demand in the other scenario will be 2639.54 million cubic meters per year, which amounts to 179.81 million cubic meters per year saving that can be exploited.

This information can affect suitable environmental, agricultural, and hydrological development. Laboratory analysis for soil sampling cannot efficiently provide the needed information because these analyses are commonly costly, time-consuming, and limited in retrieving the temporal and spatial variability. In this context, remote sensing is now solid to offer meaningful spatial data for studying soil characteristics on various spatial scales utilizing the different spectral reflectance. For this study, the integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) remote sensing data and survey data with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were used to generate a hydrological soil group map and to infer spatial patterns of soils across complete area converges for Alghadaf Wadi in the Western Desert of Iraq. The generated soil information was tested based on the sand, silt, and clay cont...

Specifically, analyses should be performed to evaluate seepage, slope stability, and soil liquefaction of large earth dams. In this study, numerical modeling, based on finite element methods, was used to analyze seepage, slope stability, and liquefaction of Makhoul Dam which is a large zoned dam, currently under construction on Tigris River in the north of Iraq. Earthquake shakings impose additional hysteric and short-term loads that may lead to dam failure due to high pore water pressure, piping, and soil liquefaction. Therefore, the dynamic stability of the dam and soil liquefaction were also evaluated, as a result of applying an earthquake shaking to the dam. For the static condition, the dam was safe against internal erosion and slope failure, as the calculated va...

For this purpose, a case study of Rutba City in Iraq was applied. It is planned that water demand of the city is supplied by four different pumped pipelines (Pipelines 1–4). An optimum water supply among these pipelines was determined by considering their daily incomes (water charge per m3) and expenses (electricity price of pump stations), and daily demand for the city. In order to solve this optimization problem, a heuristic optimization model using a modified clonal selection algorithm (Clonalg), a class of artificial immune aystems was improved. The algorithm was coded in Matlab programming language, and it was run ten times to test its stability. Two objective functions of total daily income and expense were simultaneously used to maximize total daily net income under the constraints of the required daily water demand of the city an...

The GIS were used to calculate the data required to design several bridges and culverts of the Ramadi- Nukhaib highway in the western region within Al-Anbar province. Hydrological and climatically data were collected, and soil texture analyses were performed on selected soil samples from the study area. Hydraulic calculations were designed to estimate the maximum flood discharge of the valleys crossing the road for different flood return periods. Also, the points of intersection between the valleys and the road were identified. Additional information was obtained from digital elevations models (DEM), rational method, and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method in order to suggest suitable sites, sizes, and types of the bridges and culverts along the route of the highway within the study area.

The basin comprises biospheres reserves, parks with a variety of wildlife, a significant livestock activity, a very fertile land for agriculture and a growing industry. In the territory of Niger, the Niger River Basin covers mostly all regions of Tillabéry (including the city of Niamey), Dosso, Tahoua and some of the regions of Maradi and Agadez. This area is composed of an active part, including the river valley and its major tributaries and some inactive area. Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) provides a seamless integration of both the physical hydrology of the region and water management infrastructure that governs the allocation of available water resources to meet the different water needs. It is a priority driven software, employs priority based optimization algorithm as an alternative to hierarchal rule based logic that uses a concept of Equity Group to allocate water in time of inefficient supply. There is need for optimization of Niger River resources future need of its population.

One of the two objective functions is directly based on differences between daily incomes (water charge/m 3) and expenses (electricity price of pump stations) (maximization) while another one is based on the distances and the piezometric head differences between the water resources and the city (minimization). The objective function used by Carini et al. [2] was modified by considering the pump flow. It was solved by the heuristic optimization model, which uses the modified clonal selection algorithm (the modified Clonalg), one of the artificial immune systems under the same constraints of the required daily water demand of the city, pump discharge capacities, and limits of withdrawing water from the water resources. After running the model, it was seen that the results of the objective function as a total daily net income obtained by Eryiğit and Sulaiman [1] are better than the results of the modified function of Carini et al. [2] (2,960 and 2,950 USD/d, 2,225 and 2,212.5 USD/d for the first and second six months of the year, respectively) for Rutba City in regards to the cost-benefit relationship.
