Abstract
The purpose of this paper is showing, how Geographical Information Systems (GIS ) can be used to support infrastructure planners and analyst on water and petroleum demand of a local area in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The first part of this work discusses the issue of analysis, design and creating the geodatabase system of KSA land and infrastructure using Stylus Studio XML editor, describing the components of the whole system of Subareas in Saudi Arabia affecting local infrastructure planning and analyzing which include of specific area and facilities management. The second part defines the creation of the GIS application of the discussed field having the GIS functions of the infrastructure discusses the geodatabase of the application of GIS In infrastructure in Saudi Arabia districts. The third part defines the results of the statistics analysis population in the Subareas, specify the relation between water resources and the elevations of subareas, the data of the layers of roads, railroads existing in Saudi Arabia specially in the eastern area where most petroleums wells are found.
     Using Google earth to show the elevation of the subareas and the relation with the water resources. Three groups of GIS forms was produced they are the geodatabase of the Saudi Arabia (area, subareas and main cities) ,water resources layers (water in land , water area and land cover ) , roads, railroads and elevations layers. The main contribution in the paper, discussed the infrastructure and the results of the statistics analysis populations in the subareas, specify the relation between water resources and the elevations of subareas of the data layers of roads, railroads existing in Saudi Arabia, especially in the eastern area where most petroleum's wells are found production and exploration of petroleum including the geodatabase of wells of petroleum distributed in Saudi Arabia finding the locations using Google earth map, satellites to locate the areas of producing petroleum.
Highlights
Saudi Arabia with an area of 2.15 million km2 is an arid and water deficit country, with limited fresh water-supplies
The main contribution in the paper, discussed the infrastructure and the results of the statistics analysis populations in the subareas, specify the relation between water resources and the elevations of subareas of the data layers of roads, railroads existing in Saudi Arabia, especially in the eastern area where most petroleum's wells are found production and exploration of petroleum including the geodatabase of wells of petroleum distributed in Saudi Arabia finding the locations using Google earth map, satellites to locate the areas of producing petroleum
The results and the out com of the proposed work include : The present study has covered these issues by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for creation of kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Land base and the infrastructure specially of water inland, water areas,roads and railroads and exploration and production of petroleum
Summary
Saudi Arabia with an area of 2.15 million km is an arid and water deficit country, with limited fresh water-supplies. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is a desert like country lying within the continental zone where temperatures are high in summer and low in winter. It is characterized by low annual rainfall and lacks perennial rivers or permanent bodies of water. Water is a renewable resource, yet its availability is extremely low and to the society.
