Abstract
The study aims to calculate the volume of water flow in the Saura Valley basin and the geomorphological processes resulting from surface runoff. The Saura Valley basin depends in its flow on rainfall amounting to more than (500) mm, as the largest part of it turns into surface runoff in the basin and the rest seeps into the ground. The area of the Saura Valley basin is (239.83) km2, which originates from the Petrakhin Mountains and flows southward until it empties into Lake Dokan. It is considered one of the seasonal valleys, and water flows in some of its tributaries throughout the year, relying on the eyes and springs present in it in the form of torrents of water concentrated in the central sections of the basin. To calculate the volume of water flow in the Saura Valley basin, the Snyder model was relied upon, which is the most famous method for calculating water flow in basins that lack recorded data on rainstorms and runoff. When studying the total surface water flow, it amounted to (264,245,667) m3. A flow graph was drawn showing the relationship between flow and time, which was drawn after studying flow variables in the Saura Valley basins. Surface water flow was accompanied by geomorphic and fluvial processes such as sheet, fluvial, and gully erosion. The study showed that the basin is exposed to gully erosion and terraces.
