Abstract

The study area located on the east of Duhok city, it is divided into three sub-basins: Hishkero in the east, Semel in the middle, and Gregewr in the west, it covers about 487 km². The historical record of rainfall data in Duhok-Semel area from Seismology Directorate and Duhok Meteorological Stations were used to calculate the water balance parameters for the period 2005-2006 to 2020-2021. It receives 559.6 mm of rain during rainy months. This occurs across 58 days in the eight wet months of the year. The amount of rain in January, which averages 124.8 mm, is the most. The amount of runoff is calculated using the curve number approach and the Soil Conservation Service method (SCS), where the soil type is the most important variable. Since all of the soil in the study area belongs to the D group, that the calculated value of runoff is (259mm/Year) or (45.9%) from annual average of rainfall (563.6mm/year). From the total annual rainfall, there is a water surplus of 31.2% and a water deficit of 68.8%. According to overall calculations of the water balance components, the groundwater recharge is (-175.5 mm/year) or (0.1%) of the study area from surplus water. From rainfall prediction value according to Log person III during return period (95.2%) as probability in first two years appear that the rainfall amount will be little, but inversely rain falling will start with probability (80%)
