Abstract

In the Tahlawi River Basin in Diyala Province in eastern Iraq and the corresponding areas in Iran, GIS and remote sensing approaches are used to classify the morphological characteristics of watersheds and assess their characteristics. Morphometric parameters such as aerial and linear aspects of the basin of the Tahlawi River were determined and measured. The drainage pattern of the river is dendritic, and it also stands 6th in the order of river basins. This means that the drainage density flow is medium. The circularity ratio value shows that the basin’s geological components are homogeneous. This study provides important information for the population of the basin in investing its resources for development.

应用遥感和GIS技术评价伊拉克东部迪亚拉地区Tehlawi河流域的形态分析

在伊拉克东部迪亚拉省的Tahlawi河流域和伊朗相应地区，利用地理信息系统和遥感方法对流域的形态特征进行分类并评估其特征。确定和测量了Tahlawi河流域的空中和线性方面等形态计量参数。河流的水系为树突状，在流域中排名第六。这意味着排水密度流为中等。圆度比值表明盆地的地质成分是均匀的。该研究为流域人口投资开发提供了重要信息。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
