| ABSTRACT: | The scope of this reconnaissance study encompassed a small catchment area (Wadi Hannutiya catchment area) which drains into Wadi Abdoun near Amman at a point whose coordinates are 150.00 North and 230.70 East and which was the proposed diversion point of Wadi Abdoun Diversion dam Project. This study was based on records available at the Hydrology Division of the Directorate of Investigation and Research, Natural Resources Authority, and did not involve any field surveys or on-site investigations. The object of this study was to develop a method that can be applied to the available data rapidly in order to estimate for design purposes, the peak discharges and flood volumes of specified frequencies for any Wadi in Jordan. For the purpose of this study, two flood frequencies were selected; that which determines the flood flow that is expected to occur on average once in every 10 years, and the other once in every 100 years. |
