Abstract

A water budget plan is an accounting of water put away inside and water traded among some subset of the  compartments, for example, a watershed, a lake, or a spring. Water budget plans give a way to assessing  accessibility and maintainability of water gracefully. The object of this search was to estimate water budget  in Rabea basin and to know the recharge and discharge in the basin by using GIS and remote sensing  techniques. The location of study area is in Nineveh Government (42° 00 '- 43° 00' East, and latitudes 36°  30' - 37°00' North) and covers about 3000 Km2. GIS and remote sensing technique were used in research  to convert raster formula to vector formula in applied water budget equation. The results included the  totals for precipitation (596.98) m/year, actual evapotranspiration (164.84) m/year, surface runoff (98.43)  mm. The study revealed the percentage of water surplus from precipitation to be 59.9% while the water  deficit was 30.1% when compared to actual evapotranspiration.
