Abstract

The study dealt with (the future spatial development of the optimal location for drinking water projects in Babil Governorate using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)), as modern geographical techniques were used to collect and survey data on the locations of drinking water projects and complexes in Babil Governorate and their geographical distribution. The study also aimed to use and employ information systems Geographic GIS to evaluate the future distribution of the locations of drinking water projects and complexes in Babil Governorate in terms of the future spatial development of drinking water projects and complexes in Babil Governorate after finding the numbers of the served and deprived population for the year 2031.

When estimating the future forecast, the study revealed an increase in the number of deprived residents in the study area, a stability in the production capacity of each project, and a stability in the number of current projects until the year 2031. This increase varies from one region to another among the administrative units in the study region. We notice a discrepancy in the number of sites for drinking water projects and complexes
