Abstract
The results of the study showed that the population growth rate in Ruseifa ranged between 13.5% to 8.35% for the period from 1952-1994, due to the displacement of refugees from Palestine and the Gulf due to wars, in addition to the industrial expansion of the area and the decline in land prices. That urban expansion and multiplicity of human activities in the Russeifa district resulted in a change in the features of the region, both topographically and geomorphologically, as the altitudes ranging from 690 to 720 widened from what they were previously, and reached 25%, while altitudes ranging from 600-630 decreased to 3% from the study area, and it witnessed a change in all elevation categories, and the nature of the slopes changed from flat and medium gradients to medium and light gradients, but the northeastern direction of the slope is still the predominant, and it reaches 15.36% in the study area, as the study showed a change in the characteristics of the stream. Over a period of 51 years from 1967 to 2017, when the length of the stream each decreased by approximately, 110 meters, and its area decreased by 10,000 square meters. The river meander rate decreased by 0.02%, and there was a clear decrease in the number of meanders from 19 to 16 meanders. This indicates the progression of the erosion phase, the narrowing of the stream, and the speed of water reaching the downstream.
