Diyarbakır Plain Groundwater Levels Mapping and Modeling Using Boring Data and GIS

Diyarbakr Plain, a part of the historical Mesopotamian Plain, has been home to many civilizations. One of the most basic reasons for this is that it has fertile soil and partly rich groundwater and surface water resources. Agricultural irrigation has begun to be realized especially with agricultural grounds for the between 1990-2007 years. This situation threatens the groundwater potential of Diyarbakr Plain. In this study, static and dynamic water level maps of Basin were extracted using ARC INFO program as Geographic Information System. Dynamic and Static water levels are high in 600 m topographical areas, but levels are low from 700 m elevations and especially in the northern parts of Plain. In addition the level values obtained at the end of this study are the values of Diyarbakr Plain up to 2007 years. It is better to update these level maps with new and up-to-date studies.
