Using GIS Technique for evaluating water quality of Abu Zarag marsh during the flood season

Abu Zarag marsh, part of Iraq's UNESCO-listed Ahwar wetlands, showed significant recovery and improved water quality during the 2018-2019 flood season. The study, using GIS techniques, analyzed key parameters such as temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen, revealing a notable refilling of the marsh and restoration of its natural environment. Comparative analysis with data from 2014 to 2019 highlighted trends in water quality, while flooding modeling through ArcGIS-Arc Scene provided insights into the marsh's dynamic hydrological processes. This research underscores the ecological resilience of Abu Zarag marsh and offers valuable data for conservation efforts.
