Runoff water harvesting (RWH) is a potential solution for areas suffering from water scarcity,
such as the western desert of Iraq. Site selection based on RWH ranking using a
combination of a watershed modelling system, geographic information systems and remote
sensing techniques may enable authorities and water engineers to determine potential
solutions to water scarcity. In this work, these methods were employed to produce eight
thematic maps of the volume of annual floods, basin area, basin length, maximum flow …
