الملخص العربي
The estuarine environment areas where the fresh river water meets the salty sea water resulting in
particular features of the environment. It includes the estuarine environment in Iraq, all from the mouth of
Shatt al-Arab in the Arabian Gulf and Khor Al-Zubair and the mouth of Shatt al-Basra and Khor Abdullah and
even some southern marshes that high tide and low tide arrive. The problem for research that changed the
hydrological characteristics of the Shatt al-Arab has exacerbated the problem of tidal salt to the upper river in
the province of Basra and increasing concentrations of total salts TDS. Thus, the study aims to determine the
factors affecting the change amounting to water discharge levels and the impact of water on increasing
concentrations of salt in the watershed. The research results show that the extent of the salt tongue in the Shatt
al-Arab was due to natural factors, including climate change, drought and lack of human water drainage and
other related to water resources management and policy aquatic neighboring countries. The salt water advance
has an adverse impact on other vital agricultural, environmental, and economic activities in the province of
Basra
