SALINE MAPS OF SOME SOILS OF MUTHANNA GOVERNORATE

performed based on data collected from 15 soil samples from 0 to 20 cm deep. We used salinity of the irrigated soils of Al-Muthana governorate in southern Iraq. These maps were 20% of the world's land. This study was made in order to map the spatial distribution of soil or anthropogenic processes, which is certainly an environmental problem that affects more than environment and agricultural production. The main causes of this salinization come from natural It is important to study the problem of salinization, soil salinity has adverse effects both on the ordinary kriging (OK) to analyze the spatial variability of soil salinity,
The results confirmed that the use of saline maps was supportive in giving a clear vision of the of 12.11 dS m-1, for developing probability maps to determine the distribution of risk areas. showed the different classes of salinity with the highest value of 23.17 dS m-1 and lowest value map predicted by the electrical conductivity (EC) values   using the ordinary kriging (OK) method while indicator kriging (IK) was used to analyze salinity versus threshold values . The salinity salinity of the soils for the study area
