Abstract
The study of grooval erosion and ways to address it is one of the topics of great importance in geomorphic studies in various parts of Iraq in general and in (Duhok Valley Basin) in particular، because it works to strip large areas of land of its ability to agricultural production and human use، the basin of the research area is located within the province of Duhok، between the latitude of 0'40'36 ° - 0'0'37 ° N ، The longitude of 0'50'42 ° - 0'5'43 ° and with an area of 411 km2، the occurrence of this type of erosion is due to the availability of several factors، including :( Rock formations، steep intensity، rainfall، soil)، and the Bergsma equation was worked out in calculating the intensity of erosion and extracting the pronunciation of erosion، and the adoption of the space visualization of the satellite Landsat-7 for the year 2009 and using the program Arc Map GIS 10.7 in order to treat it، and has shown the existence of three erosion pronouncers according to their intensity، and that the system of severe erosion is prevalent in the research basin with an area of 187 km2 and 45.5% of the total area of the basin.
