The study of the environmental feasibility of the Euphrates River drainage water came to highlight the agricultural activity in the region and reveal the type of crop in it, and then use the best methods for water desalination, while presenting all the proposed solutions for the purpose of stabilizing the sand dunes with the water of the eastern Euphrates drainage in the study area. The research revealed the types of summer crops represented by (wheat and barley). The research also covered winter crops (rice, yellow corn, white corn, dates, and summer and winter vegetables), and highlighted the importance of the East Euphrates drain in developing fish stocks. Furthermore, the research demonstrated the crucial role of the East Euphrates drain in revitalizing the marshes by employing methods such as reducing salinity in the drain's outlet General) (Reviving the marshes through the formation of treatment plants) (Reviving the marshes and monitoring the salinity of the waters of the general outfall drain through the formation of specialized committees) (The role of the eastern Euphrates drain in preventing flood risks).
