The incremental rate of the population was estimated to be 7.98%.

The annual rainfall was estimated to 518 mm.

63.3% is consumed as Evapotranspiration, and 10% as evaporation.

While only 18.7% is recharged into the ground and the remainder 8% run to out of the research area as runoff.

The abstraction amount of water was estimated to be 3641 m3/day.

The facts showed deficit in water balance estimated to 406485 m3.
