| ABSTRACT: | The purpose of this report was to estimate the surface water potential of the Wadi, and also to provide information to the Ministry of Agriculture on the possibility of the use of this water for cattle and for pasture. The method adopted for estimation of floods and flows is the Unit Hydrograph Theory and the Curve Number Procedure. Each storm of the period of record was analyzed by The Curve Number Procedure to derive the flow duration curves. The project had four major components: 1. The dam and the intake structures (one for ground, and one for surface water). 2. The setting tanks. 3. The injection and the observation wells. 4. The subsurface dams and intake structures (including production wells). It was recommended that the exploratory boreholes should be drilled at the dam site as well as downstream from the dam in alluvial deposits. Also a field topographic survey should include the reservoir area, so that a new “Area - Capacity” curve would be defined and incorporated in determining the final height of the dam. |
