التحليل المورفومتري لحوض وشبكة تصريف وادي وسيط في شبه جزيرة سيناء

Abstract EN

Morphometric studies of dry and semidried valleys are important studies that are useful in explaining many geomorphological and hydrological questions.

This study aims to analyze the morphometric characteristics of basins and drainage network of Wasit Valley in the western central sector of the Sinai Peninsula, due to their great importance in identifying the morphological features of the region, and the role of these characteristics in hydrological modeling analyzes, especially those related to surface water runoff.

The studies depend on the regional and analytical approach and quantitative and descriptive methods.

The data sources were topographic maps, digital elevation models and aerial photos.

The data was subjected to processing, analysis and output by integrating GIS and statistics programs (Arcgis10.8- SPSS - Excel - Origin Pro 2019), in addition to the application of mathematical equations for some morphometric variables.

The most important findings of the study is the designing of a morphometric database for the basins of the study area and their drainage networks.

This study is a basis for researchers in the field of geomorphological applications related to studying flood dangers in the region to confront them, and to develop Suggestions to take advantage of the Surface water in various development fields.
