تحليل سيناريو زيادة المساحات المروية من مياه سد خليفة باستخدام برنامج WEAP21

Abstract

Khalifa Dam is located in the southeastern part of Akkar Plain, which is located in the south of Tartous Governorate and is approximately 42 km away from the city center within the lands of Tal Wa'aw village. The research aims to analyze the scenario of increasing the irrigated areas from Khalifa Dam water, using the Water Resources Evaluation and Planning Program WEAP21. The research methodology relied on collecting data and evaluating the scenario of increasing the irrigated land area between the years (2020-2050). The water requirement coverage rate reached 100% in all months in 2022. According to the aforementioned program, it is expected that the annual water requirement for irrigated agricultural lands will increase by (25.62 M.m3\year) between the years (2022-2050) as a result of increasing the area of ​​agricultural lands. The deficit in water requirement will be covered by relying on groundwater from artesian wells in the region.
