Summary
The present work deals with the
geoenvironmental evaluation of the Taiz-El-Turba district, which is
considered as one of the most hazardous mountainous highly populated
region in Taiz governorate. This district includes Taiz city, Jabal
Sabir and Jabal Habashy in its northern part where floods and
landslides hazards have been reported numerous fatalities damage
during the extreme rainfall events. Slopes, aspect and shadow images
were generated for the study area form the Digital Elevation Map
(DEM). Four complete watersheds were recognized and morphometrically
analyzed to assess flood hazards evaluation. Geographic Information
System (GIS) techniques is used to integrate all results of the preset
work in order to construct both hazard zonation maps and land use map
as final output of the work.
