Statistical Modeling To Predict The Hydrological Characteristics Of The Sub- Basins Of The Northern Jordan Rift Valley

Journal of the Faculty of Arts (JFA)

Morphometric parameters are an applicable method to understand the hydrological system of water drainage basins. To determine the capabilities of sub-basins, morphometric analysis was adopted, using the linear, areal, drainage network, formality, and relief variables of the drainage basin. Moreover, remote sensing and GIS have been proven to be efficient tools for identifying morphological parameters. The morphological parameters were calculated from the digital elevation model (DEM) file with a 30 m resolution obtained from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Also, using algorithms formulas, represented by the SCS method for runoff estimation, equations for morphometric variables, and equations for hydrological variables estimation. …
