“…The Euphrates River is the main source to provide the water demands of the study area. The Euphrates imports began to decline during the previous periods as in (Figure 4) due to the construction of dams by Turkey as GAP project with 22 dams and a total capacity of about 100 Km 3 [16,17], with the Euphrates Dam by Syrian as in (Figure 1). Haditha Dam, located on the west of the study area, uses to generate electricity and store water for providing water for the study area and the others Iraqi provinces in central and southern Iraq, which considered shared in this water resource.…”

Water is an essential source of sustaining life and used in generating electricity, agriculture, industry, and the daily domestic uses. This study was prepared to determine the water consumption of Anbar Province in the west of Iraq according to agricultural, industrial, and domestic demand. In addition, the study is evaluating the expected future water consumption by demand sites within study area. The results showed the domestic water demand will increases by 32% from 267.30 million m 3 /year in 2021 to 352.70 million m 3 per year in 2035, with a deficit of 24.5% in the year 2035. Furthermore, the study had appeared the agricultural demand was 1404.38 million m 3 /year according to the limited cultivated area, which equals 42.93% from the total available area of 221,250 hectares. The agricultural demand increases to 2611 million m 3 /year when uses all available area, and this cause occurs deficit in water demand reach to 1591 and 1715 million m 3 /year in the years 2030 and 2035 respectively. In contrast, the study referred to necessary apply other irrigation methods as drip and sprinkler irrigation, which has high irrigation efficiency. In addition, using lined channels and pipes to transport water to reduce losses by leaching and evaporation.

“…In first step was collected data, Characteristics of crops, global researches, and climate condition as shown in Figure 2. Daily Climate Data for the study area [12] The second step involved taking samples of soil from the Ramadi irrigation project to describe the soil texture of each project by using Standard Test Method for Particle-Size Analysis of Soils [13] as shown in Table 1.…”

“…But in complex approach (Dual-Kc), it separates two coefficient of soil and of transpiration (Kcb and Ke). Therefore, when applying the Dual-Kc approach, the daily transpiration (ETT) calculates by separately about soil evaporation (ETV) by depending on (Kcb and Ke), where the basal crop (Kcb) represents the ratio between the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) to the reference evaporation (ET0), when the soil surface layer is dry with a low value of sufficient water content within the root zone [10][11][12].…”

In this study, the Dual-Kc approach within FAO-56 paper was applied by water evaluation and planning (WEAP) to get the Kc parameters (Kcb and Ke) and to calculate the water requirement for various soil textures. The results compared with the outputs of Single-Kc approach for summer and winter crops in addition to trees. The results showed when applying Dual-Kc approach, the water requirements was more compared with the Single-Kc approach, except the tomato, eggplant, and Broad bean crop, which decreased by 5%, 4%, and 17% respectively. Also, there was a different in values of coefficient when compare two approaches, it was increased in Dual-Kc approach for wheat by 62% with 20% during initial and end-stage while ranged between 26-58% for trees during all season with more different for other winter and summer crops. The water requirement of crops was different according to soil texture. The net water requirement of wheat was 429 mm and 433 mm for sandy loam and clay loam respectively, with different in irrigation intervals 11 and 12 respectively, while the silt loam was recording water requirement 417 mm with 8 irrigation intervals.

“…One of the proposed methods for reducing the risk and impact of desertification in this study is rainwater harvesting (RWH). RWH is a significant component in any water resource system for ensuring a continuous supply, in order to meet the demand for domestic uses, livestock, agriculture, and small industries [10][11][12][13]. Moreover, the proposed rainwater harvesting system should be able to maintain a sustainable water resource and minimize the risk of further degradation of resources in the area.…”

Currently, desertification is a major problem in the western desert of Iraq. The harsh nature, remoteness, and size of the desert make it difficult and expensive to monitor and mitigate desertification. Therefore, this study proposed a comprehensive and cost-effective method, via the integration of geographic information systems (GISs) and remote sensing (RS) techniques to estimate the potential risk of desertification, to identify the most vulnerable areas and determine the most appropriate sites for rainwater conservation. Two indices, namely, the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Degradation Index (LDI), were used for a cadastral assessment of land degradation. The findings of the combined rainwater harvesting appropriateness map, and the maps of NDVI and LDI changes found that 65% of highly suitable land for rainwater harvesting lies in the large change and 35% lies in the small change of NDVI, and 85% of highly suitable land lies in areas with a moderate change and 12% lies in strong change of LDI. The adoption of the weighted linear combination (WLC) and Boolean methods within the GIS environment, and the analysis of NDVI with LDI changes can allow hydrologists, decision-makers, and planners to quickly determine and minimize the risk of desertification and to prioritize the determination of suitable sites for rainwater harvesting.
