International river basins are characterized by their wide extent where mapping earth surface features and drawing contours by topographic team become–somehow- impossible because the cost and efforts consumed to execute it become very high and may exceed reasonable limits. Here it becomes necessary to use digital elevation models (DEM) inferred by specialized scientific organizations using remote sensing. There are several DEMs available on the internet and downloadable for free. The primary factor in defining the models efficiency in building hydrological models not the least cost but the maximum reliable results and better resolution that adequate to the capabilities of the PCs. In this study, three DEMs were used to derive and build hydrological models for the Euphrates-Tigris basin using Geographic information system techniques. The resulted boundaries of Euphrates-Tigris basin were compared with three boundaries implemented by international research organizations (UNEP, ESCWA, and FAO). As a conclusion of this comparison, the SRTM—3arc DEM was the most efficient model among used models. In addition, this study indicated the necessity to reevaluate Basin’s boundaries and correct the spatial distribution of proportion for basin area between the riparian countries.

The main objective of this research is to study the effect of the accuracy of images' geometric resolution only on the geometric quality of the resulted three-dimensional model. In this research, all factors that affect the quality of the model are fixed and the geometric resolution is changed only for the used images. The number of captured images, the number and the distribution and the accuracy of control points, the camera being used and whether or not it is calibrated, are among the most important factors influencing the modeling process. In order to neutralize the effect of the inner parameters of the used camera, a process of calibration was achieved. On the other hand, we have pre-planned the process of photography to avoid problems resulting from the lack or increase the number of images, that directly affect the quality and completeness of the model. In addition, accurate control data obtained from precise survey work (horizontal geodetic network and leveling network) was applied. In this study, we examined the effect of image resolution on the generation of a dense cloud of points by applying the Structure from Motion (SfM) and deducing the surface model and the orthophoto of a facade of a building at Tishreen University.
Recession curves of yearly stream flow hydrographs are analyzed by a probabilistic approach suggested by (Akosy, H. & Bayazit M, (2001)) and development of a spatial program with advanced language programming (Visual Basic 6) compatible with Micro soft excel for this purpose. Flow of a month on a recession curve is calculated by multiplying the previous month's flow with a value of K smaller than one; K, defined as the ratio of the flows of successive months on the recession curve, was determined from observed monthly flow time series.
