Abstract

This research aims to analyze the hydrometric morphometric characteristics of the Wadi Shaal Basin and its secondary basins. We conclude that all the secondary basins are still in the stage of maturity. The longitudinal section of the Wadi Shaal Basin stream appears in the form of steep gradients near the source and gradually decreases as we head towards the downstream. It is straight in its streams. This indicates Partial equanimity, and a very severe erosion rate was found according to the Strahler classification, as the number of basins that recorded very severe erosion were (100.2, 97.29, 91.52, 86.14) water basins, which are (11, 13, 19, 8) respectively, and the reason is due to the occurrence of the high area Adjacent to the northern Qara Jouk latitude and the slope of its valleys from the areas of water division from high ranges, as the values of this coefficient increase as the difference between the highest level and the lowest level within the drainage basin increases, which increases the slope rate leading to the activity of water erosion processes and the formation of multiple landforms.
