The Environmental Impact Assessment of Harvesting Water from Flash Floods )Case Study on Saint Catherine Area - Southern Sinai(

Constructing mountainous lakes to harvest water from flash floods in the Saint Catherine Area of Southern Sinai yields significant positive impacts on social, economic, and biodiversity aspects. The study demonstrates that redirecting flood runoff using walls and gates not only mitigates flash floods but also provides a sustainable water source for greenhouse cultivation of tomatoes and cucumbers. This approach effectively balances environmental management with agricultural productivity, offering a viable solution for arid regions.
