Abstract
HYDROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BATRA VALLEY USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)
The research aims to study the hydrological analysis of the Al-Batra valley. Hydrological studies are important studies in arid and semi-arid regions that suffer from water scarcity. Therefore, this study came to show the hydrology of the region and the extent of its future benefit and the optimal use of what is available. This study relied on topographic maps using the geographic information system Arc GIS 10.3. A set of measured properties were processed through a set of mathematical models and processes to determine the hydrological properties. In addition to studying the natural factors affecting the valley, including geological characteristics, surface and climate, The total area of the valley is (4345.89 km2). The research also focused on studying surface and groundwater resources in terms of surface runoff volume and climatic water balance, In addition to studying groundwater in terms of its sources, nutrition, physical and chemical properties, and its suitability for human use, Including (drinking, irrigation, industry, construction and building).
