Abstract
Water problems in arid and sem-arid regions stem primarily from
rapidly rising water demands. These regions are highly vulnerable to
drought and their sensitivity to this phenomenon increase with increasing
aridity and it faces serious water shortage and the limited water resources
could not meet the population needs in these regions. This research
defined watershed characteristics of the water management system in
Wadi Watiir in order to insight the various problems that may occure,
and develop a general stategy for sustainable development of Wadi
Watiir watershed through management of their water resources.
Wadi Watiir is one of the most important and active Wadis in
south Sinai from hydrological point of view. The seasonally flash flood
destroys the main international vital road Ras EI Naqab / Nuwieba
between Egypt and the Asian Arab countries. The road passes through
the main stream of this wadi about 85 kIn of its total length. Wadi Watiir

basin is located between 28 50- & 29 30”””Nand 33 45- & 34 OO-and
Gulf of Aqaba E. The total catchments of the Wadi Watiir reaches about
3600 Krn2.
Water resources in Wadi Watiir include surface water (rainflood),
groundwater wells and springs. The surface water flows from the
sedimentary rocks in the upland of the catchments to the basement rocks
around the main stream of the Wadi. The man made constructions reduce
the harmful disasters especially the different types of civil works as
