Impact of Rainwater Harve sting and Seasonal Floods' Bonds Technique on Groundwater Wells Development Maytam Valley, Ibb Governorate

Abstract

The study aims to identify the most prominent hydrological implications and indicators of groundwater wells, emphasizing the importance of artificial recharge through the technique of water caravans in Maytam Valley (2 & 1), and finding out the most important indicators of artificial recharge. The study consisted of five sections dealing with variations in groundwater wells depth, characteristics of water caravans, measurements of artificial recharge, analysis of hydrological characteristics of groundwater wells, and finally, the most important challenges faced by artificial recharge projects. The descriptive and analytical methods were used, utilizing the modern technology of Surfer 16.6 software. The study key findings showed that there was a significant decrease in the wells water level prior to the establishment of artificial recharge projects during the period of 2019 and 2020. It was also revealed that the annual average low water level ranged between 200-100 meters and 136-82 meters, respectively. After artificial recharge projects execution, the annual average water level increased to 58-34 meters in 2021 and 52-34 meters in 2022, indicating a significant improvement in water level values after the establishment of artificial recharge projects.
