There is a need to search for new water resources to supply, with drinkable
water, Damascus City and its rural suburbs. The aim of the paper is to
carry out a hydrological study and to develop a simple model characterizing
AUAGE watershed behavior
. This watershed is one of the two important
basins in the region of Damascus. All water resources, used presently, are
not sufficient to insure the growing needs of drinkable water. Studies that
aim to supply Damascus from the coastal basin indicate that this solution is
very expensive and will not be operational before 2010, which means that
Damascus will suffer from water shortage during the next few years.
