The impact of climate change on the lack of rainfall in Salah al-Din Governorate

The impact of climate change has a close relationship with the lack of rainfall in the study area. It has been observed in recent years that there has been a decrease in rainfall. which negatively affects the amounts of running water. natural vegetation. and an increase in barren areas and decertified areas. as climate data was collected for a period of time between (1980-2022). The climate stations available in Salah al-Din Governorate are (Baiji. Tikrit. Samarra. and Touz). and statistical equations were applied to find (the rate of change). The study found that there was a change in the amount of temperature and precipitation for each station. as it reached (1.21) degrees at Baiji station. The amount of rain decreased by (-20.66) mm. As for Tikrit station. the temperature change was (0.97) degrees and the amount of rain decrease was (-84.39) mm. As for Samarra station. the temperature change was (1.75) degrees and the amount of rain decrease was (-6.95) mm. station. In Touz. the temperature change was (0.90) degrees and the amount of decrease in the amount of rain was (-86.93). If it was the highest amount of decrease among the stations studied. it is noted that there is a discrepancy between the change in temperature and the amount of decrease in rain. and this is due to natural factors such as the location Station. rise and fall from sea level.
