Abstract

The area of Badoush Dam is located in the northwestern part of Iraq.
The Badoush Dam is a complementary dam to the Mosul Dam Project, which is about 40 km south of it, since its main purpose is to support the Mosul Dam in emergency situations and the different effects that may result on the safety of Mosul Dam and its facilities.

The main results of the research are that the area is covered with rock formation of the aperture consisting of the child, gypsum, limestone and quaternary flood and silt time deposits. The western coast of Mosul dam has been diagnosed with cavities and melt channels within the shaft formation rocks, making them weak areas that can lead to serious problems and problems that are difficult to control and increase the cost of treatment as is happening now in Mosul dam.
