Abstract

The natural characteristics affecting the amount of solid waste in the study area were studied through repeated field visits to the area and observation of solid waste on the soil in the hot and cold seasons. Data related to this study, including climatic data, were collected by government departments in the center of Nasiriyah district. In this research, we included the study of the natural characteristics and their contribution to increasing the amount of solid waste and its impact on the soil, including: the surface of the Nasiriyah district center and the climate and the study of its elements represented by solar radiation, temperature, moisture, evaporation, wind, dust phenomena and rain fall, as well as the study of each of the soils  in the study area and an indication of its types and water resources.
