Evaluation of the efficiency of the Saqlawiya irrigation project
Abstract
This study focuses on showing the role of water resources represented by the Saqlawiya irrigation project located in Anbar Governorate within the sedimentary plain area and its geographical characteristics and the extent of its impact on human and economic uses, as it is characterized as a (growth pole) and the development of spatial development levels in the study area, which has an area of (707 km2). The results of the study through analyzing the data that the expenditures of the Saqlawiya irrigation project are characterized by fluctuation between one year and another and between months and seasons. m3/tha) according to the control and control of natural and human conditions on the Euphrates River Basin and the Dhra’ Tigris channel feeding the project, and the diversity of water sources feeding the project gave it a distinctive character, opening up vast horizons for it to engage in many economic activities that achieve spatial development for the region, but the internal mismanagement For the project, which negatively affected the quantity of water distribution on the streams branching from it, and therefore this quantity becomes a surplus for regions without others sometimes according to the needs different in the region. As for the qualitative characteristics (chemical and physical) of the project water, they vary in their characteristics from one place to another depending on the control and control of the natural and human geographical conditions in the region as well as the sources of nutrition of the project, and most of its ions fall within the permissible limits and others are allowed but restricted as an element (TDS). whose concentration in the project water ranges between (415-1009) mg / liter. Therefore, the aim of this study was to formulate strategies reinforced with development plans and development goals that can effectively contribute to enhancing opportunities for developing levels of spatial development within the study area, if the decision-makers in the governorate were serious about the development orientation.
