Abstract

This study focused on analyzing the hydrogomorphological factors and processes that led to the formation of geomorphological units, including highlighting the origins and development of the  basin on the one hand, and identifying its hydrogomorphological characteristics represented by drainage and sedimentary production on the other hand. The problem of the study arose in the difficulty of identifying the morphometric characteristics and their effect on the course of the geomorphological processes that exercise their activity in the basin and the environmental impacts thereof which can be used in the reconstruction of the basin ecosystem. Therefore, the temporary flowing (Shukran) basin was chosen, located between latitude 34 44 21 and 35 00 28 north, and longitudes 43 38 59 and 43 52 24 east in the governorate of Erbil, as the valley originates from the chain of the damaged area and flows into the small Zab.
