English Abstract

This study aims at evaluating flood risks in Wadi Mousa Basin using hydrological model via Arc-SWAT 2012 to estimate surface runoff, which is one of the most important factors in evaluating the strength of flooding where the maximum surface runoff is applied.

As a result, flooding risk map was exported through merging it with the flooding historical map and streams at risk.

For running the model, weather data for 2011-2019 was collected from Jordan metrological department, digital elevation model via Alos-Palsar satellite, soil data from the national project 1993, as well as satellite image gotten from landsat-8.

The study concludes that all the streams have third rank have high risk, and the Average daily maximum runoff for the basin is 2.19 mm in the eastern areas and 10.8 mm for the western areas.
