The Volume of Water erosion eastern of the Tigris River in Wasit Governorate Using EPM Model

Abstract

There are different methods that take into account the measurement of erosion, and the methods vary from simple to more complex, and differ in their need to enter data and their ability to predict the erosion and the amount of sediments transferred, including methods and methods for measuring aquatic erosion. They can be measured through field studies and laboratory devices to know the amount of sediments transported by running water, as well as morphometric studies based on mathematical equations, as mentioned in chapter three. Therefore, one of the methods that will be measured by hydro-erosion, is the Erosion Potential Method. Therefore, water (surface) erosion is the most widespread and dangerous of its role in the fragmentation and smashing of rock and transporting the product of erosion, depending on the amount of rainfall, the volume of sediment and crumbs transported by water from high areas to low-lying areas according to the severity of erosion and the nature of the slope that controls the speed of water flow
