Abstract
Field observations suggest that Al Haruj area is subjected recently to periodic heavy showers and parts of the surface water are diverted from surface to underground routes. The presence of herbivores animals and the widespread of vegetations in wadi beds, is suggestive, with a high degree of confidence, that Al Haruj region is certainly acting as a recharge zone to the local basal aquifer and subsequently to the interconnected aquifers. The present recharge in Al Haruj and adjacent areas will always be essentially smaller than major extraction demand for irrigation purposes. Periodic heavy showers from high plateau zones.
