Abstract

The study dealt with the role of morphometric characteristics and their effect on the probability of floods' occurrence. The study relied on sixteen variables distributed on the main units of the morphometric characteristics, these variables forms the main nucleus for creating a morphometric matrix in order to help in classifying the floods occurring in the northwestern basins in Jordan. The study concludes that the basin length and size variable is one of the most effective variables which has an effect on the probability of flooding for the study sample basins, in addition to that 16% of the study sample from the northwestern basins in Jordan have a high probability of flooding
