English Abstract
Assessment is the key factor of any integrated development strategy for water resources. Water resources assessment consists of determining their quantity, quality and availability for sustainable development and rational management.
The main objective of this study is to assess water resources potential of the Wadi Nyala catchment. The study was done on the basis of hydrologic modeling, the FEWS-GeoSFM model which was run in GIS environment was used.
The input data comprises mainly the public available data from USGS that characterize the land surface, land cover, soil, evapotranspiration and rainfall estimates from NOAA.
It was found that the Wadi Nyala has a considerable potential surface water resource, with mean annual rainfall of 481.7mm as estimated by NOAA.
The rainy season was from July to October with August as the peak rainy season.
The mean annual yield was found to be 244.5 million m3.
This yield is substantial provided it is harvested for better sustainable utilization in the development of the subject area.
