The study, has Focused on determination of the most important hydrochemical
characteristics of water at AL-kabir alshemali estuary area by determination the
concentration of nutrient ions (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphates and silicates) and th
e
factors affecting them. Water samples were collected from several stations of that area
between March 2017 and January 2018.
The highest concentrations of nutrient throughout the year were reported at river estuary
point (K0), a depression in their concentrations was observed in the station distanced
away from the river estuary point, compatible with salinity gradient. River estuary point
(K0) formed the main source of nutrients that are distributed to other stations.
Nutrient concentrations showed clear gradual depression in winter down to more than
1,000 meters from the estuary point, while the gradient in summer has less extension, It
was within the first 50 meters in some monthes.
The aim of this research is to identified the tectonic evolution of
Naher Al-Kabir Al-Shimaly Basin from tectonic subsidence curve
witch calculated from Lattakia1 well data. Tectonic subsidence
was identified in lower-middle Jurassic en relation o
f opening of
East Mediterranean basin. A subsidence is occurred in
Cenomaniane, after a stage of uplift in late Jurassic-lower
Cretaceous en relation to fold and erosion known at regional
scale.
The statistical Study of Jointsarround 16 Tishreen lake dame region in ALKabir
ALShimali river basin showed the presence of several main groups of Joints with
directions NE-SW _ NNE-SSW, NW-SE, E-W.
- Group NE-SW: showed correspond to with the fau
lt structures of same directions
which are normal and reversal faults and distributing geographically 1n Lattakia Kallas
fault zone. Also it showes correspond to with the axis of folds of same direction, thus
explained as longitudinal joints within these folds
- Group NW-SE: showed correspond to with faults structures of same direction.
which are left and right lateral strike slip faults, Spread over the entire study area. and it
may(diagonal)shear group within the folds of NE-SW axes.
- Group E-W:correspond to with normal faults structures.
Study of the general characteristics of Fractures in the central part of
the AL-Kabir AL- Shimali river basin showed the presence of
several main groups of Fractures with directions NE-SW _ NNESSW,
NW-SE , E-W.and showed increased fracture rate in
the
northern and southern parts of the study area, and that the spacing
between the Fractures close to the medium convergence (5-34) cm ,
also show a aperture ranged between (0.1-5.1) cm, where aperture
width was increased in southwest of Lake 16 October near Lattakia-
Kless fault .

Six water stations were chosen along the lower reach section of AlKebir ALShimaly
river and some of it's tributaries, differing in their biotic and abiotic features. Water and
animal samples were collected bimonthly during spring, summer & autumn a
nd monthly
during winter during the period 25/8/2013 – 26/8/2014.
Seventeen species of freshwater molluscs were identified in all stations, fifteen
belonging to Gastropoda (6 of Prosobranchia & 9 of Pulmonata) and 2 belonging to
Bivalvia, one of it (Corbicula fluminea) was recorded for the first time in Syrian Arab
Republic.
We focused on in this study on the station ( Mafraq Quesmeen) that we studied it's
chemical and physical properties of the water and we identified 11 mollusc species and the
most frequency of it was Melanopsis praemorsa and it's frequency rate was 46.48% and it
was the most constant in all continuous samples and it was 100%
The lithological study and micropaleontological analyses of 21 samples
taken from four geological sections of lower Miocene deposits led to a
stratigraphic study for determination of enrichment of planktonic species in
these deposits . These speci
es were combined with biozones of lower miocene
and their stratigraphic distribution in the studied sections according to
planktonic foraminifera of worldwide spreading . This study contributed in
understanding of paleogeographic development of Neogene basin within this
period of time , which appeared as a marine progress in lower Miocene ,
which continued up to upper Miocene in the northwestern part of Syria . The
sediments of lower Miocene consisted of marl , clay marl deposits with
interfacial layers of clay and limestones or marl limestones deposited
unconformithy with nummoliticlimestones of Eocene , or cretaceous
carbonates rich in betome sometimes .
In this study the concentration of (Cu, Cr, Cd, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn , Pb ,V &Co) in
some sedimentary columns and pore-water extracted from the estuary of Al-Kabeer
alshemali river was determined during four seasons .the concentrations of these metals
w
ere determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The columns were cut into
slices with 2cm of thickness ,the pore water at every slice was extracted using
centrifugation (7000 r/min).the results showed that the concentration increased from
surface(deep=0cm, rich of O2) up to the 4cm of deep ,then the concentration decreased in
deeper slices (down of 4cm,deficiency of O2) and the concentration of Fe and Mn from
high ranking ppm. The rest of the items were relatively lower ranking ppb, but Co, Cd and
V were low. meat increased the concentration of all these elements in the spring and
summer, compared with the values in the winter and autumn, due to increasing human
activities on the one hand and the high temperature on the other hand, leading to increased
activities of bacterial that leads to the decomposition of organic material that may increase
the ratios of these elements in the pore water.
This study aimed at determining the fish fauna composition in 16th of Tishreen Lake
(Alkabeer Alshimali River). A total of 730 individual fishes were collected between April
2012 and March 2013 from five different sites along the lake /Alsafkoon, W
ata-Alsheer,
Alkerassat, Mazraet Alsheikh Deeb, and Alaqfaas area/.
Our results showed the presence of only six main fish species belonging to three
families (Tillapia zillii, Cyprinus carpio, Liza abu,Varicorhinus damascinus, Garra rufa
and Garra lamta). The results also showed that Tilapia zillii was the most caught fish, and
Wata-Alsheer was the richest site in the lake. These results showed a decrease in the
number of fish species and their quantities compared to that in previous studies on the lake.
Al-Kabeer River Coastal Plain faces very important economic activities which lead to growing water demands. This research aims to define the relationship between rainfall and subterranean-water levels. In the mountainous area fissured marl and limest
one with high permeability spread. However, on the coastal plateau deposits with moderate to low permeability values spread, and water levels quickly respond to rainfall and irrigation water, which makes it get easily polluted and affected by climatic factors. Analyses and discussions of field data have led to the fact that subterranean-water levels are to do with many natural and artificial interrelated parameters. And in some cases, they can be adversely oriented, and difficult to isolate and monitor separately, and become very difficult to derive mathematical formula for describing the relationship between just two parameters (subterranean-water percentages and rainfall levels)
