Abstract Analysis
The motivation behind this project is to discover the precipitation connection at ABOU Ali River. A Precipitation data: After obtaining precipitation of Lebanon for 10 years, probability and return period are

curve graph and a dominate record for the precipitation esteems where from it we can discover the
return period and probability in a descending order. In the wake of completing those means, the
information was entered to the software that was downloaded through a connection. A map
demonstrated a few rivers, one of them is ABOU Ali River, calculation was accomplished for the
stream information and gathering by changing the base collection for show to 0.5 to get a reasonable
picture about the river. Outlet points were adjusted to realize the basin border, enter those day-by-day
precipitation esteems for every year per unit time. At long last, A hydrograph was gotten indicating the
variety of the flow regarding time.

drainage basin stimulations. In this model, WMS estimate and obtain all necessary data fuming the CN: The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in
