Estimating the Risk of Floods in the Suef Valley Basin Using Snyder’s Model

Abstract

The study aims to estimate the size and discharge of rain flood waves for the Suef valley basin this is done through statistical cartography modeling based on the Snyder model, which is one of the mathematical models that depend on the quantitative approach in hydrological studies, in this study, geological formations and sediments, surface, soil types and vegetation cover were identified, as well as the climatic water balance of the basin, the study found after applying the model that the maximum flow of the torrent in Suef valley basin amounted to about (177.48) m 3 / s, the speed of surface runoff has reached approximately (5.51) km / h, the volume of flow of the torrent is about (1.092) million m³ / s, the depth of runoff of the basin has reached (149.6) mm.
