Abstract

Prediction of rainfall and runoff is one of the essential issues in water resources management. forecasting process is crucial for optimal use of water resources especially in countries where economy is dependent on agriculture. The relationship between rainfall and runoff is of great significance in the Tal-Housh basin in order to improve the utilization of the dam's water, which provides irrigation water and the water of the various needs for the residents of the area. The dam is located near the village of Tal-Housh, 55 km west of the city of Homs, and its lake capacity is 52 MCM. The dam is situated within the basin of Alkabeer Aljanouby river. The research aims to find a relationship between rainfall and runoff in Tal-Housh dam watershed. Rainfall and runoff data were statistically analyzed. The study showed that the average annual precipitation in the Tal-Housh dam station has an increased general tendency of rainfall in winter months, except for the month of March. The analysis and discussion of the results proved that the inferred mathematical equation, which describes the rainfall–runoff relationship in the Tal-Housh basin, is robust and reliable for estimating the quantities of surface runoff based on measured or expected rainfall values.
