Assc.Prof.Dr.Mahmood Salih, the Head of Water and Hydraulics Engineering Department at the Department of Building and Construction Engineering at the University of Technology, and Engineer Zahra Abdel-Hussein from the Ministry of Water Resources, participated in the International Conference of the European Organization for Environmental, Water and Desert Research, held in Turkey for 7-9 / 5/2018 with their research (A 2D HYDRODYNAMIC / POLLUTANT TRANSPORT AND GIS-BASED APPROACH FOR OPTICAL WATER QUALITY MONITORING STATIONS).

The research included the application of a methodology to find the sites of water quality stations in the eastern part of Hammar Hor in a mathematical way. This methodology is based on the results of the application of two-dimensional simulation models for modeling water movement, spread of pollutants, standards, determinants, land cover maps and land uses. The results of the models were analyzed using spatial analysis tools in geographic information systems to identify the most sensitive sites for water quality change and prioritize them based on their degree of susceptibility to variability in water quality.
