Abstract
Objectives: To give a clear picture of the hydrological features of the studied valleys and highlight the relationship between them, then create a database that can be relied upon in calculating and estimating the quantities of flowing water to arrive at a local division of the drainage basins with the possibility of benefiting from their water. Methodology: The research relied on the regional and analytical approach in terms of tracking the phenomena of material movement, delving into the surrounding conditions, and using satellite visuals, the digital elevation model (DEM), and the deductive approach in producing technology outputs and analyzing them to reach the desired results. Results: The highest volume of flow was at Wadi Houran, amounting to (255.2) m3/s, followed by Wadi Al-Suhayliyya, then Al-Muhammadi, with amounts reaching (144.7, 120.8) m3/s, respectively. The highest volume of flow was in Wadi Houran (3.07) million m3, and ( 1.5 million m3 in Wadi Al-Sahiliyya, and 1.4 million m3 in Wadi Zagdan. These values make it record the highest flood incidents between the valleys, which raises its risk levels. As for the hydrograph curves, it is a creation based on morphometric characteristics and rain characteristics, as well as surface characteristics in terms of heights and slopes, using the (WMS 10) program. Conclusion: The time period is shorter in Wadi Zagdan when the flood wave reaches its peak, in contrast to Wadi Houran, which is longer in time. Likewise, in Wadi Falej, the wave exceeds its carrying capacity because it takes a longer time compared to the size of the valley. Recommendations: The study recommended several things, including conducting more detailed studies for each basin separately to obtain more accurate data. It was also recommended to employ remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems in applied hydrological studies from more precise perspectives.
