Abstract
Water resources seem abundant, but less than one percent of them are readily available for human use. The area between Badra and Zurbatia, located on the eastern border of Iraq within the Wasit governorate, was investigated. (60) wells were inventoried during the field study, and only (40) wells were used to demonstrate their hydrogeological properties. The unconfined groundwater aquifer is composed of Quaternary deposits and Mukdadiyah formation. The mean thickness, transmissivity, and maximum yields were (53) meters, (114 m2/day) and (600 m3/day, respectively. The groundwater moved partially to the western parts and mainly towards the southern parts of the area towards Shuwaicha Marsh, which is located outside the study area. The central area between Zurbatia and Badra towns can be a qualified location for increasing well drilling.
