The islands of this area differ in terms of composition, type of soil and type of investments. The phenomenon of islands has emerged in recent years as a result of several reasons, including drought, increasing temperatures, lack of rain and snowfall in the sources of rivers, as well as the lack of coordination with neighboring countries to obtain a certain proportion of the water entering the Iraqi territory to be initiated, and the large number of irrigation projects and dams, all of which have a role in revitalizing Carrot growth. Therefore, the braided islands phenomenon is one of the negative phenomena affecting the course of the river, and that the beginning of these islands is evidence that the river is in the stages of late maturity and early aging. The study area as well as the difference in water discharge.
