Project description:
Hawr-Al-Azim Wetland with storage tank volume of 5.5 billion cubic meters, at the joint border of Iran and Iraq. It is located as a natural source and is in different fields, including aquaculture and the growth of diverse plants and the potentials of tourism attraction has abundant and unique.
However, because of the 8-year-old war, the ecological situation and the natural form of this beautiful and tourist lagoon, but in any way, the economic, political, and security significance has not been reduced.
The total extent of this wetland is 3100 square kilometers, which is close to 1200 square kilometers in Iran and 1900 square kilometers in the territory of Iraq.Is.
In the design of studies, determination of bed limit and bookmarks privacy of combination Three methods are used to determine the extent of the platform and privacy:
Using satellite images
Use of hydrology statistics and information
Utilizing sight visiting data
In these studies, in multiple correspondence with relevant companies, satellite images required by the Hawr-Al-Azim wetland were prepared and collected.
According to Draft Guide to determination of seabed and privacy, lakes, bookmarks and bowls (publication number-343 a), published by the Ministry of Energy, after reviewing the laws of other countries, the sum of the highest limit or the indication of water, or the maximum recorded statistics of water level, as the index in determining The substrate limit and the privacy of the wetland have been proposed. Therefore, in these studies, by examining the available data and archival images, the maximum level of wetlands in the north and South was obtained and the extent of the wetland substrate was drawn.
