Description

Shatt Al Arab River is suffering from shortage of fresh water resources which increased salinity wedge intrusion from the Arabian Gulf into it and subsequently increased its water salinity. In order to solve this problem, many studies suggested the idea of barrage establishment on Shatt Al Arab River. The scientific opinions of researchers and specialists in this field varied between supporting and rejecting this idea. To reach a conviction about the importance of establishing the barrage, there is an urgent need for studying the influence of barrage construction on Shatt Al Arab River flow.
