DEVELOPMENT OF DYKES FOR MAXIMIZING UTILIZATION OF RAINWATER IN SOME WADIES IN THE NORTH WESTERN COAST, EGYPT

Abstract
Abstract
Wadi-bed cultivation is one of the main macro catchment water harvesting system in the Northwestern Coast Zone (NWCZ) which depends on construction of cement dykes across the main stream of the wadi. The main problems resulting from these dykes are unequal distribution of surface runoff, where less runoff reaches the downstream and losing part of the surface runoff at high rainfall storms. This study aimed to evaluate and develop the existing dykes in two wadis represented to the NWCZ wadies, they were wadi Hashim and wadi Shebity located at about 50 and 70 km east and west of Marsa Matrouh city respectively. To achieve the study objectives, many activities were carried out in field, laboratory and office to estimate the runoff volume using Soil Conservation Services Curve Number (SCS-CN) method and the Geographical Information System (GIS), calculate the storage capacity of dykes and fig water requirements for each cultivated area.
