Horan Valley Basin Geomorphological Aspects Assessment by Integrating Hypsometric Analysis with Remotely Sensed Morphometric Characteristics

     The extraction, study, and accurate interpretation of the morphology database of a basin are the basic blocks for building a valid geomorphological understanding of this basin. In this work, a new approach is presented which is to use three different GIS based methods to extract databases with specific geographical information and then use the concept of information intersection to make a realistic geomorphological perspective for the study area.

In the first method, data integration of remote sensing images from Google Map and SRTM DEM images were used to identify Horan basin borders.

In the second method, the principle of data integration was represented by extracting the quantitative values of the morphometric characteristics that were affected by the geomorphological condition of the studied basin, such as the shape factor, circulation factor, and relief ratio, then eliciting an optimal conception of the geomorphological condition of the basin from the meanings and connotations of these combined transactions.

The third method used the same principle by taking the optimal inferences from the integration of the interpretation of the values of the Hypsometry integration coefficients for each area in the basin separately with the integration value of the drawing curve for the relative heights of the basin areas with their relative areas. It was found, from the values of the coefficients, that the areas (A, B, C, D, and F) were still in the early stages of youth. Whereas the E region was in the maturity stage and the G region was in the monadnock stage of the geomorphological cycle. As for the integral value of the curve, it indicated 48. 559 % erosion from the surface of the basin only, and that its boundaries were subject to change and widening.

Morphometric Characteristics of the Aziana Valley Basin: هبه محمد فياض, اسحق صالح العكام

The present study aims at examining quantitatively the morphometric characteristics of Iziana Valley basin that is located in the northern part of Iraq; particularly in south of Erbil Governorate. This basin is considered one of the small sub-basins where its valleys run on formations of the Triple and Quadrant Ages, which are represented by the Bay Hassan formations, and the sediments and mixed sediments of the cliffs, respectively. The area of ​​the Iziana basin amounts to (36.39 km2) whereas the percentage of its rotation reaches (0.17); a low percentage, which indicates that the basin diverges from the circular to the rectangular shape. The value of the elongation ratio of the basin reaches (0.38) while the terrain rat

AL-Dibdiba Formation Basin Hydrological Aspects Extraction Using GIS techniques and Quantitative Morphometric Analysis

The drainage basin's hydrological aspect studying is considered to be important issue because of their influence (especially in arid to semi-arid regions) on the water management projects, agricultural management projects, and grazing ones. The importance of this study is coming from the fact that AL-Dibdiba formation basin climate is arid to semi-arid and there are human activities (habitation and agricultural) in the east part of it, so the water resources management is needed for this basin. The morphometric analysis illustrates the hydrological aspects in a quantitative form; the problem is the use of the traditional schemes in the calculation processes (such as the topographic map and the planmeter), which coast time and money and a

  Positional Accuracy Assessment for Updating Authoritative Geospatial Datasets Based on Open Source Data and Remotely Sensed Images

OpenStreetMap (OSM) represents the most common example of online volunteered mapping applications. Most of these platforms are open source spatial data collected by non-experts volunteers using different data collection methods. OSM project aims to provide a free digital map for all the world. The heterogeneity in data collection methods made OSM project databases accuracy is unreliable and must be dealt with caution for any engineering application. This study aims to assess the horizontal positional accuracy of three spatial data sources are OSM road network database, high-resolution Satellite Image (SI), and high-resolution Aerial Photo (AP) of Baghdad city with respect to an analogue formal road network dataset obtain

A New Approach in Determining the Criteria of Equations for Morphometric Characteristics of River Basins - Applied Morphometric Study of The Mamaran Basin

This study aimed at some of the criteria used to determine the form of the river basins, and exposed the need to modify some of its limitations. In which, the generalization of the elongation and roundness ratio coefficient criterion was modified, which was set in a range between (0-1). This range goes beyond determining the form of the basin, which gives it an elongated or rounded feature, and the ratio has been modified by making it more detailed and accurate in giving the basin a specific form, not only a general characteristic. So, we reached a standard for each of the basins' forms regarding the results of the elongation and circularity ratios. Thus, circular is (1-0.8), and square is (between 0.8-0.6), the blade or oval form is (0.6-0

Change detection of remotely sensed image using NDVI subtractive and classification methods.

Change detection is a technology ascertaining the changes of
specific features within a certain time Interval. The use of remotely
sensed image to detect changes in land use and land cover is widely
preferred over other conventional survey techniques because this
method is very efficient for assessing the change or degrading trends
of a region. In this research two remotely sensed image of Baghdad
