A doctoral thesis from the College of Education for Humanities at the University of Basra examined the spatial relationships between erosion and surface runoff volume in the Wadi al-Faraj Basin in the Najaf and Muthanna Governorates using remote sensing and geographic information systems.
The study, presented by student Manaf Jabbar Saddar, aimed to highlight the most important natural characteristics of the study area and their impact on geomorphological and hydrological phenomena and processes, particularly surface runoff and erosion. It also aimed to identify, document, and map the spatial and quantitative relationship between erosion and surface runoff.
The thesis included a study of the spatial relationships between erosion and surface runoff volume in the Wadi al-Faraj Basin in the Najaf and Muthanna Governorates using remote sensing and geographic information systems. This study is considered an important study in applied geomorphology, and its importance stems from its ability to analyze surface runoff and its relationship with erosion. It also highlights the interconnected nature of these two variables, which has significant impacts on various human activities, particularly those related to economic activity in the study area
