Marine and environmental studies

The carbonate rock masses that form the deep aquifer system in the plain correspond to the lower part of the upper autochthonous succession. The Eocene Midyat limestone is highly karstified. Karstic springs discharging from the Midyat formation are located mainly at the eastern part where this formation outcrops over large areas. The hydrogeological properties of the lithological units are described mainly based on the data obtained from the shallow and deep wells.
