Abstract

The sudden lack of the aforementioned factors leads to the deposition of the coarse part of the suspended load (usually fine sand and coarse silt) along a narrow longitudinal space (flat) on the channel edges to form in this way the natural bridge.

As the formation of balconies begins when the watercourse is a floodplain, a change may occur in the balance of the watercourse, which leads to the watercourse cutting the floodplain at a lower level.

Where the craft of agriculture is one of the most important economic activities in Wadi Abbad, as it contributes to meeting some of the population’s needs of foodstuffs such as grains, legumes, vegetables, and other crops. It also produces cash crops that enter many industries such as cotton, beets, and flax.

The cropped area includes the total area of crops that do not stay in the ground for more than one agricultural season, and for this reason the cropped area increases with the increase in the number of cultivated crops that stay in the ground for short periods such as vegetables.

The total lengths of the irrigation network in the study area amounted to 15.86 km and serve an area of 31210 acres of land in the study area.
