Geomorphology of Ancient Rivers in Wasit Governorate

Abstract

  I aimed to research the discovery of ancient rivers in the Wasta Kuwait Province using satellite images, which proved that the Tigris River had changed its course several times during its history, which led to differences in the places of settlement of the peoples on its banks. This had a major impact on human companies, as it contributed to exploiting their needs and stabilizing them along its changing course In the study area, the development of the river course can be divided into three phases. The most important reasons for the transformation of the course of the Tigris River is the structure of Al-Ahdab field as well as the structure of Abu Amud, and then analysis of the morphometric changes in the river twists and turns of the Tigris River for the years (1984-2024) using satellite images
