Abstract

The study area is located in the district of Ain al-Tamr and Ard al-Saqi within the Karbala governorate in the southwestern part of it, between latitudes (10° 32 - / 45° 32) north and longitudes (15° 43 - / 45° 43) east.  The physical properties of the soil of the study area and the most important physical elements that we have touched upon are (the texture of the soil, the porosity of the soil, the real density, the bulk density, the moisture content of the soil, and the color)) which greatly affect the properties of the soil and this requires a lot of laboratory analyzes as well as effort and time to extract it  And using different devices as well as using mathematical equations, and 20 samples were taken distributed in separate places to cover the study area and from two depths (0-30) cm, while the second depth is (30-60) cm for one model.  A sample (5,4,3,2,1), as well as 5 samples were taken in the Ain Al-Tamr district center, represented in samples (18,17,16,15,14). As for the rest of the samples, they are dispersed from different parts of the district, represented by (20, 19,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6), and spatial modeling has been done for it, and finally the reasons for the rise and fall of these elements have been shown.  As well as developing solutions to it that in turn improve the physical properties of the soil and thus raise its production capacity.
