Abstract


Summary

Field studies suffer from difficulty Whether in cost or in the field if the researcher does not have the full background




They can therefore be supported by GIS , It is one of the most powerful modern techniques in monitoring geomorphological changes. It helps us to know the phenomena of the Earth's surface. This technique has been used to study the geomorphology of the Aswan region as a basic feature, whether large or small. The slope of the study area from the south to the north is also shown to be a clear slope, as evidenced by the longitudinal slope of the region. As for the cross-section, the eastern bank rises compared to the eastern bank. A morphometric map of the study area has been derived from the digital elevation model and its simulations with the topographic maps and their reliability. Morphometric measurements and analyzes can be carried out in order to serve the infrastructure with minimal losses and avoid the dangers of floods.
