Abstract Sinai Peninsula is one the most vital areas in Egypt due to its wealth of mineral resources, oil wells and gas fields. This is in addition to its tourist resorts and geographical location which overlooks three of the world continents. from time to time, these Areas located have experienced catastrophic floods because of the excessive rainfall in a short period that produced the flash flood. 2 :- Research scope : Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) method was used to evaluate suitable areas for rainwater harvesting facilities. In that criteria eight variables were used including: geology, slope, float, FHP, peak discharge, large streams order, highway and distance from coastline. 3 :- Research objective : - The objectives of this work were to develop the drainage networks in Dahab and Kid valleys and to make an assessment of the expected flood hazards and their management. Arc hydro extension under ArcGIS software was used to develop the drainage network in both valleys for the digital elevation model (DEM). 4 :- Steps Study :- Flood hazard was derived from the morphometric characteristics of each valley. In addition to the peak discharge depend on these parameters. The dam sites were proposed. Flood hazard was more serious in Dahab valley when compared with Kid valley due to variations among the morphometric, topographic and climatic characteristics of both valleys. However, local variations were also observed among the different sub-basins within each valley. 5 :- Summary of Study :- The major results of this work was the development of the drainage network for both valleys and their sub-basins by using GIS-techniques. Dam sites were proposed to protect infrastructure from flood hazard, to harvest and sustain water resources and to develop settled villages. |
