Reservoirs are vital to the world's economy for their role in electricity generation, flood control, water supply, and recreation, which are all dependent on water storage capacity. However, dams are effective traps of sediment, and capacity is reduced as deltas prograde into reservoirs.
Air, water and soil from three area at AlAhsaba were investigated. The tools that provided with Globe program were used to determine the properties of air, water and soil sample. The results of physical and chemical analysis of water samples confirmed that some sample of water are contaminated with nitrite and nitrate. In general, we can conclude the properties of the water, the air and the soil in in Nawan, Al Makhwah area.
