“…Water is also withdrawn through irrigation channels to support agriculture adjacent to the Najaf Sea. The climate in the area is subarid to arid with a dominant westerly wind, average humidity 41%, evaporation 3483 mm/year, precipitation 10–100 mm/year and mean annual temperature of 24°C (Zwain et al, 2021). Whilst the current area of the Najaf Sea is c. 30 km 2 it is known from historic mapping (Selby et al, 1885) that the lake was much larger in the past and Islamic and orientalist texts state that it was also smaller at times.…”

The climate is arid to semi-arid with an average temperature of 24°C, average annual rainfall is 99 mm/year, evaporation of 3,483 mm/year, average wind speed of 10 km/hr, and humidity of 41% (Zwain et al 2021). As shown in Figure 1, the study area of AL-Ameer District is located close to the center of Al-Najaf Governorate, with longitude and latitude of 32°00 0 28″ N and 44°21 0 51″ E. The land is on a slope that ranges from 41.78 to 36.008 m above sea level, the total area is about 1.64 km 2 with 34% pervious surface and 66% impervious surface.…”
