Abstract
This research covering the period 2019-2023 involved a limnological study to assess the impact of climate change on the waters of Lake Habbaniyah. The study found that the mean air temperatures ranged from 29.9-31 °C, water temperatures from 24.9-26 °C, pH of 7.6-8, EC of 954.5-2054.3 μS/cm. Meanwhile, alkalinity hardness for Ca, Mg, Cl, SO4, NO3, PO4, and DO were 109.7-170.1, 336.1-583.6, 74.4-136, 41.5-65.1, 139.9-287.4, 214.1-569.8, 1.6-3.7, 0.05-0.7 and 5.6-8 mg/L, respectively. The largest capacity, highest water levels, and areas for the lake occurred in 2019 at 2930 million m3, 50.64 m, and 416 km2, respectively while the lowest were 650 million m3, 42.61 m, and 200 km2, respectively in 2023. This indicates that climate changes has affected the characteristics of the lake
