USING GIS TO DEFINE THE AREAS TO BE DAMAGED WHEN MOSEL DAM COLLAPSES.

This research involves making use of the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) site by downloading data on the study area and inferring the area coordinates. Several processes were carried out using related programs, Mosel Dam site has been selected as the study area because the Dam collapse has recently become the public main talking point because of the site weak soil. Also it has become clear that GIS systems have gained popularity in specifying areas likely to be damaged as a result of floods or dam failure. Moreover, they can be used in building digital elevation models for any area. The right side of the study area that is on the right bank of Tigris is more likely to get damaged than the left side for Sectors (B,C). The difference is 107.816,101.387 sq m respectively. On the other hand, the Sectors ( A,D) are less likely to get damaged because the difference is 42.401,32.170 respectively. The total area of the four sectors is 445.293 sq m
