The researchers aimed to predict surface runoff and flood potential in the Amoughin watershed by mapping land use and calculating the curve number. They used remote sensing and GIS to create a map showing the runoff potential of different land types. The average curve number for the watershed was 79, indicating a high risk of runoff and flooding. The study revealed that the soil in the area has low permeability, leading to high surface runoff potential and increased flood risk. This highlights the importance of taking preventative measures to reduce the risk of flooding in the Amoughin watershed.
