| Abstract | ||
| Al-Ratqa Valley is located in the western part of Iraq within the western Anbar plateau, and it occupies an area of (5509) km2, and it consists of six secondary basins and they differ in all morphometric characteristics. The study also included the natural characteristics of the area that have an effect on the spatial and morphological characteristics and the characteristics of the drainage pattern. And the geomorphological processes and the types of soils in the region, as for the general slope of the basin, it is from the west and southwest towards the east and northeast, as for the general climate of the region, it is desert, hot dry in summer and cold rainy in winter, and the number of basin ranks reached seven ranks, and that the quantitative method was followed in the geomorphological and morphometric analysis By relying on digital data obtained from topographic maps, aerial photos and satellite lmages, in the analysis of the morphometric characteristics of the basin drainage pattern and the spatial, morphological and topographic characteristics of Al-ratqa Valley basin | ||
