Abstract: Aiming to study the soil depth and rivers slop effects on total copper concentration in Middle Euphrates River Region that represent in the mesopotamia plain, soil pedon samples of cultivated territory that adjacent to rivers were taken. The seregions are located in provinces of: Karbala, Babylon, Najaf, Diwaniyah, and Al-Muthana. Teen soil pedons were taken of areas that adjacent to the main Euphrate River, the Al-Hilaa, and the AL-Daghara Rivers in these provinces. Soil pedons of areas that on the banks or close to the main Euphrates River were taken of counties of Twarije, Kufa, Gamas, and Al-Samawa. In the same way, soil pedons of Missaib, Hashmiah, Diwaniyah, and Rumitha are adjacent to the Hilla River and soil pedons of Al-Daghara and Affak belongs to the area of Al-Daghara River. Results showa reduction in total copper concentration for all of the tested soil pedons directly related with the depth. Total copper concentration values are the highest at the surface layer and reduce as going depth except for soils of Al-Samawa and Al-Rumitha as aresult of polluted with dranges water and sewage that added to the rivers. Aggregate copper concentration values are fluctuated between 5.710 mg.kg-1 and 41.139 mg.kg-1in all of the studied soils.
