Abstract
Assessing the soil hydropedological processes play a significant role for watershed management. Many watershed models can be used for such processes. Wadi El Raml is one of the main wadis extended from Fuka to Libyan-Egyptian border in the Northwestern Coast of Egypt (NWCE). The main problem in this area is that most of rainfall water with sediments runs off to the Mediterranean Sea which makes it a challenge to save soil and water. Hydropedological study were utilized to estimate the surface runoff, infiltration, and sediment yields based on multiple integrated data such as soil, landuse/landcover, rainfall in the environment of KINEROS2 model. This study delineated 4 soil units and 7 classes of landuse/landcover as input data of KINEROS2 in addition a rainfall event of about 25 mm over 2 days. The obtained results showed that about 16.16% (431,229.6 m3) of precipitated rainfall (2,668,500 m3) flowed as surface runoff. For benefiting from this flowing water, this study recommended 128 points for constructing cisterns and/or reservoirs and 400 cement dykes as water harvesting locations for domestic and agricultural uses, respectively.
