Nuweiba, Egypt

Nuweiba sits in a flooding plain between the Sinai hill in addition to Gulf of Aqaba. Flash floods pose significant threats to socio-economic development in your community. This research evaluated flash floods danger into the greater Nuweiba location meant for minimization preparation. Our approach evaluated topographic, hydrological, and geological aspects holistically to position regions of high, median, and reasonable flash floods risk along the Wadi Watir. Information from industry studies, improved Thematic Mapper (ETM+) imagery, and Shuttle Radar Terrain Model (SRTM) had been reviewed through electronic picture processing and spatial analysis to define lithology, earth types, land cover, and hydrological morphometrics. The morphometric variables were used to guage more delicate sub-basins for floods and create the flash flood susceptibility map. Soil Conservation provider (SCS) Rainfall-Runoff design was familiar with estimate hydrological responses at ungauged catchments, including runoff level, lag time, and top discharge. We spatially integrated most of the risk elements and developed a flash floods risk map given that useful geospatial assessment of flash flood danger within the greater Nuweiba area.
