A master’s thesis at the University of Anbar - College of Science discussing  ((Hydrochemical and Sedimentological study of Habbaniyah lake, Al-Anbar Governorate / Iraq)) for the student (Salasabil Majid Abdul Karim) from the Department of Applied Geology

Under the supervision of Assisst. Prof. Dr. Abdel Hameed Abd Muhammad Al-Hadithi and Dr. Kamal Barzan Nida

The public discussion of the master’s student - College of Science - University of Anbar was held on Thursday, 4/21/2022 in Jaber Bin Hayyan Hall in the College of Science about her thesis tagged: -

 ((Hydrochemical and Sedimentological study of Habbaniyah lake, Al-Anbar Governorate / Iraq))

The discussion committee consisted of:-

Prof. Dr. Emad Abdul Rehman Muhammad Salih, University of Anbar - College of Science, Member

Prof. Dr. Qusai Yassin Salman, University of Baghdad - College of Science, Member

 Dr. Maitham Abdullah Sultan, Ministry of Science and Technology, Member

Assisst. Prof. Dr. Abdel Hameed Abd Muhammad, University of Anbar - College of Science, Member

Assisst.  Prof. Dr. Kamal Barzan Nada, Ministry of Science and Technology, Member

      The study aims to determine the chemical properties of the water of Lake Habbaniyah and the extent of the salinity of the lake water and determine the sedimentary properties of the sediments of the lake and determine the climate of the region and its impact on the lake and study the extent of environmental pollution of the lake water and the validity of water uses and destinations and the extent of pollution in addition to determining the chemical elements and the proportion of heavy metals in the lake

The study concluded that the lake has alkaline water, and it also showed that there is no pollution in the studied heavy elements and that the lake water is not suitable for drinking, and that the salinity of the water is caused by evaporation processes.

- Regarding the sedimentary results, it was concluded that the lake sediments contain many oxides with SiO2 predominance, and that the highest percentage of volumetric analysis of the sediments was for sand.

It is worth noting that the President of the University attended the discussion and described it as historic, as it is the first discussion of postgraduate studies in the Department of Applied Geology.

After extensive discussion by the committee members with the student about the subject of her thesis, the thesis was accepted.

Congratulations to the student, the College of Science, and the discussion committee.
