Utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to Evaluation of Hydrogeological Conditions, to the west Kirkuk secondary basin, Northern Iraq
Keywords:
GIS, Hydrogeological Conditions, West Kirkuk, Transmssivity, Hydraulic Conductivity
Abstract
The surface drainage network of the basin was derived using the (ArcGIS 10.3) software from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a spatial resolution of (10x10) m per cell. The total stream order within the basin was six, with the number of streams varying across different orders. Other aspects of the hydrogeology of the West Kirkuk secondary basin were also investigated. Groundwater level contour map was developed from (23) wells data. This made it possible to map the flow net of the groundwater which demonstrated that the direction of water movement in the study area was from the northeast to the southwest. this is in line with the topographic gradients of the region in question. The hydraulic properties were also evaluated based on pumping rate data and groundwater level drawdown measurements from 8 out of the total number of wells. It was observed that the values of the transmissivity coefficient (T) ranged between ( 7.28- 31.47)m2/day, while the values of hydraulic conductivity (K) ranged between (0.10- 0.44) m/day.
