The Impact of The Decrease in The Water Share of The Musayyib Project on The Agricultural Plan in The District of Kothi in Babylon Province
Abstract
The large Musayyib project is one of the important irrigation projects in the province of Babylon and is located 65 km south of the city of Baghdad, and is considered the main water source in the district of Kothi, which penetrates most of the territory of the district and its branches to irrigate cultivated crops, and the problem of the study came to highlight the impact of the low water share of the Musayyib project on the agricultural plan in the district of Kothi; One of the objectives on which the study was built is the analysis of climatic elements in a quantitative manner to give specific quantitative results that differ from the descriptive method of the study area, and the division of the study area into rain and thermal ranges to show the climatic variation between the north and the south, and the research adopted the method of scientific analysis and based on the presentation of the subject of the research in addition to the quantitative method in the statement of the temporal and spatial distribution of the water share of the Musayyib project in the study area and its relationship to the agricultural development plan.
