This research define and study geomorphological properties of the Karstic spring nameled “Al Gamka” , characterized one of seasonal springs that flux up as “fontain” . For this issue, we achieved a detailed geological and geomorphological Study in the region of spring, in addition to the field measures to draw and define the main karstic paths and its tributaries, which recharge this spring by groundwater coming from north-east side. To show the changes happened to the spring path, and to control water level variations inside this karstic paths and tributaries and the relation with groundwater influx periods through this “fountain”. This study showed reasons that led to groundwater influx through this spring with high discharge, and the relation between this spring discharge with the amount of precipitation on the recharge area. Finally, I presented detailed explanation about karstic extension, Which recharge this spring, in addition to the geomorphological development of the spring region through previous times.

This research define and study geomorphological properties of the Karstic Polje, located in the southern parts of the coastal area “Beerat Aljerd and Ein alshams rgeons” For this issue, we have used “ G I S” Technology to clarify properties and pla ce of this Polje through construction few of informatics slides that contain different types of data, showing Karstic Polje limits, dimensions, topography of the region, and situated Karstic characteristics Blind valleys, sink holes, solution doline, hums. Following, we have studied the Paleogeogeaphic development of the study area, in addition to the forming conditions, and Geomorphological periods related with this region. Finally, This study showed the great hydrology importance, resulted from presence of this Karstic Polje in the mentioned region, through infiltration of large quantities of rain water by precipitation with annual average up to 1475 m m. This water moves often through water bearing formations toward the west, where flow out of the Polje and contribute in consisting of water storage for the coastal area.
Wadi Huraira Basin is considered one of the left boundary basins to Barada at Kafer Al-Awameed. It extends to an estimated area north-east and south-west about 56 square kilometers. It is bounded Bisan Basin and Madaya Mountains Basin from the fro m the north, and from the east both of Bisan and Wadi Mahadi Basins; whereas the later shares forming the southern boundaries with both of Abou Salem and Wadi Alawaz; whereas, Barada River forms the western boundary of Wadi Huraira Basin.
Geomorphological-chemical studying of hole phenomenon which taked place in KARKIT village (NE of Lattakia) at 11/2/2009,indicate that it was a result of karstic phenomenons in gypsum rocks,this karst is result of underground water drainage inaccordance with fissures direction In study region N025 .
The study of fracture in Kadmous and Safita showed several fracturing directions, originally related to the tectonic structure of the studied zone, especially faults. A group of dominant principal fractures, with a direction of NW-SE, a group of less importance with direction of NE-SW, and a secondary group of N-S direction, have been determined.
AlSin Spring spurts at the foot of coastal mountains and pours in The Mediterranean sea near Arab-Almulk village. Presently, spring water used for drinking, irrigation and industry, while excess water goes to sea. Current research aims to determin e the daily discharge response to daily rainfall, and to set an equation for recession discharge for predicting spring discharge and volumes of flow after definite time from the beginning of spring base flow, which allows to operate and manipulate available water resources through an optimum design of water intake from this spring. Response time of AlSin Spring between (3-5) days for average discrete daily rainfall with high intensity which caused 0.5 ~ 1.0 m3/sec increasing in spring discharge value. Yearly discharge trends to decrease with a rate of 0.0975 m3/sec between 1974 and 2016 years. While the monthly minimum discharges increase about 0.1284 m3/sec, and monthly maximums decrease about 0.0752 m3/sec between 1994 and 2016. We recommend adopting recession curve analysis to predict the optimal discharge of springs within definite periods.
