Engineering Geomorphology and Geotechnical Assessment of Wadi Abu Daraj, El-Galala Plateau Using Geomatics Applications

Abstract

Wadi Abu Daraj is located on the eastern edge of El-Galala Plateau on the western coast of the Gulf of Suez. Recently, it has witnessed manifestations of large-scale human change, which appeared in the form of building roads as well as urban and tourist facilities. Work still continues to modify the topography of the wadi in preparation for establishing many engineering facilities. The research aims to assess the relationship between physical determinants and hazards, and human uses through geomatics applications, particularly the assessment of methods of protection from the hazards of slopes and flash floods so as to identify the extent of their effectiveness in regard to engineering facilities and sustainable development projects, and they turned out to be convenient to a large extent for the places and degrees of danger. However, they need to be periodically purified and maintained, particularly the methods of protection from the hazards of flash floods.

“…5 billion m 3 . On the other hand, the monthly rates converge after the construction of the dam, ranging between 2.2 and 4.4 billion m 3 throughout the year (Hassan, 2023). This decrease results in the shrinkage of the water body, the exposure of shallow areas, and the appearance of sandbars that soon turn into islands.…”
