Abstract : Assessment of Potential Water Resources in Abyan Area- Southern Yemen Dr. Hatem Abdel Rahman Saied Ahmed Ewea Department of water resources, faculty of meteorology, environment and arid land agriculture science, King Abdul Aziz university, P.O. Box 80208, Jeddah,21589, Saudi Arabia Hewea1136@gmail.com Abstract The development of the Abyan governorate receives special attention from the Government of Yemen due to its population density and economic viability. Abyan delta can be considered as the most promising area for agriculture development in southern Yemen. The availability of suitable water supply is crucial to such development. The main objective of the present study is to assess the potential water resources of the Abyan delta to satisfy the demand for agriculture development as well as the increasing domestic and livestock demands. Comprehensive investigations and field survey were carried out for rainfall, runoff, and groundwater resources. The water balance calculations indicated the potential surface water supply is 190 million m3/year. Of which, the recharge account for about 56%. Consumption of indigenous water resources should not exceed the such potential for the sustainable development in the study area.
