GIS-based analytical modeling on evaluating impacts of urbanization in Amman water resources, Jordan

Amman governorate is the largest in terms of population and urbanization Jordan that third most water-scarce country worldwide. It has also limited water resources were rapidly decreasing as results groundwater over-pumping climate changes generate a serious crisis. However, focused on Northwest governorate. The surface are available area well. overlaying between one hand other resulted different environmental, hydrological, hydrogeological problems. Our research investigated these problems using an integrated approach remote sensing geographic information systems. Furthermore, our suggested spatial plan would solve conflict urbanization's impact Amman. Accordingly, catchment areas span study their drainage network defined.
