Geology and Seismic Activity of Muqdadiya District and Its Impact on Locating Dams and Reservoirs Using Modern Technologies

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the natural ingredients in the construction of the Muqdadiya dam,
through the qualifications of the natural environment, geomorphological and morphometrics, and the
processes that resulted from them. Size flow watery in which. Muqdadiya district adult area (1033 How

Linear structures prevailed in the study area, and the structures with a northwestern direction were
recorded. The percentage of linear structures for this direction was (11.4(% of the most frequent and long
structures within this direction and the percentage of their length)22.7%). that Composition geologist to

is prevalent in the region sediment easy The overflow has reached its area 489.26 km 2, as for seismic
activity, the intensity of the earthquake ranged between 1.3-3.8, while the depth of 9 earthquakes ranged
between (5-9 km), while 20 earthquakes ranged in depth between (10-19 km), and the center of the
earthquakes depth In the Muqdadiyah region does not exceed the earth's crust.
