ANALYSIS OF THE MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE WADI AL -SHALLALA BASIN IN IRBID GOVERNORATE - JORDAN

Abstract

This study was concerned with studying the morphological properties of the Wadi Al -Shallala basin, which is one of the main tributaries of the Yarmouk River. The study aims to build a database for the morphine properties of the basin by relying on the Digital Elevation Model (DM) model using GIS, where some natural characteristics were studied. Related to the pelvis and the work of a water budget for the study area for the period 1990 - 2022 using the Thoretouette Model and Munti, 1957 (TM), and the study was interested in analyzing the morphological properties of the sink, which is the surveying, formal and terrain characteristics of the pelvis, identifying its hydrological connotations, analyzing the water movement in the pelvis, identifying the properties of the water network and its representation of Cartogaria. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is that the Wadi Al -Shallala basin is classified from the fifth rank and that the shape of the pelvis approaches the rectangular shape. The study recommended the need to rely on morphille studies in knowing the properties of the water network and the water flow movement of any water basin because of its data that helps in planning and taking processes Decisions.
