المرتكزات الهيدروجيومورفولوجية لدعم رؤية 2030 في الحفاظ على أراضي المملكة من الأخطار البيئية: حالة دراسة: واحة الأحساء

Abstract EN

Al-Ahasa Oasis, in the eastern part of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is exposed to environmental hazards associated with its natural geographical characteristics, especially geomorphological and hydrological conditions, such as wind erosion and desertification, which threatens the sustainability of the ecosystems in the oasis.

the aim of the study is to identify the hydrogeomorphological foundations that support their preservation from environmental hazards and achieve the strategic objectives of the kingdom's vision 2030, by building a hydrogeomorphological model that assesses the current environmental situation in the region based on the inductive approach and employing GIS and remote sensing data to identify the most vulnerable areas in the study area which may be exposed to natural hazards in the future.

the study was able to identify 4 levels of environmental hazards in the study area: more dangerous areas, medium risk areas, less dangerous areas, and safe areas from danger.

the map of environmental risks resulting from this study is of importance to many relevant institutions and decision makers in order to take the necessary measures to protect these areas.
