Abstract
The study included evaluating the hydrogeological characteristics of the underground aquifer in the northwestern part of the Badia of Muthanna Governorate, and the field work included determining the locations of pumping wells, as six pumping wells and two monitoring wells were relied upon. The electrical conductivity (EC) of the water at the beginning and end of the pump. And it was found that the main aquifer is the Dammam configuration aquifer, which is an unconfined aquifer. Through the study, it became clear that the thickness of the aquifer increases as we go to the southwest of the study area and decreases towards the north, at a rate of (63 m). In addition, the study showed when using the method (1946 (Cooper-Jacob), in the curve of the relationship between time and level, the rates of hydraulic properties of these wells were high, and ranged between (excellent - high), as the rate of water Transmissivity (T) reached (1640.1 m 2 / day), while the rate of hydraulic conductivity (K) (43 m/day), which is classified as a natural resource of great regional importance

Dammam Aquifer, The study included evaluating the hydrogeological characteristics of the groundwater reservoirs in the northwestern part of the Muthanna Governorate desert. The field work included determining the locations of pumping wells, as six pumping wells and two monitoring wells were relied upon. The amount of decline and return in the groundwater level was measured, with the electrical conductivity (EC) of the water being measured at the beginning and end of pumping. It was found that the main reservoir is the Dammam Formation, which is an unconfined aquifer. Through the study, it became clear that the thickness of the reservoir increases as we move to the southwest of the study area and decreases towards the north, at a rate of (63 m). In addition, the study showed that when using the (Cooper-Jacob 1946) method
