Hydrogeological Conditions of Groundwater Aquifers/ West Makhul, North Iraq

Abstract

The lithological description of drilled wells and pumping test analysis used to determine the hydrogeological conditions of the west Makhul area, the main ground water aquifer in the area represented by unconfined aquifer within the sediments of Injana Formation, the hydraulic properties of this aquifer (Transmissivity, Storage coefficient, Hydraulic conductivity) were estimated by pumping test, the flow net of ground water was plotted, it reflected that the ground water flow direction from the northeastern to the southwestern which compatible with the general direction of surface drainage system and general slope
