Abstract : Babylon Governorate is located approximately in the center of Iraq, about 100 km away from the capital, Baghdad. Its area is 5,119 km2, which constitutes 2% of the total area of Iraq. It is dominated by a desert climate, which is characterized by a low amount of rainfall, ranging from 50 to 200 mm annually, and high temperatures in summer may reach 50 ° C, dominated by northwest winds. The engineering study of sand dune soils revealed that the grain size distribution of the sand reached 99%. The
