| ABSTRACT: | The main objectives of this study were: * To estimate synthetically, the runoff volumes, runoff coefficient, peak discharge and the frequency of peak floods for the major Wadis in the Azraq Basin. * To calculate the potential evapotranspiration for determining the relationship between the measured class A pan evaporation and the potential evaporation and consequently defining the pan coefficient. * To estimate the recharge to the groundwater of the Upper Aquifer System from the rainfall precipitated over the basin and over the individual sub-basins. * To study and identify the groundwater flow system, as well as the hydrological characteristics of the Upper Aquifer System in the study area. * To study the hydrogeological characteristics of the Upper Aquifer waters and identify the inter-relationship between the hydrochemical parameters. In addition to the evaluation of the reliability of these waters for domestic and irrigation purposes. |
