These include El Gash seasonal river which has an annual runoff of 600 million cubic metres (m. c.m.), Khor Baraka with 500 m. c.m., in addition to some 40 smaller riverlets or wadis scattered all over the central plain, providing together about 6.7 md. c. m. so far not utilized, with the exception of about 160 m. c. m. used for domestic purposes. This has been made possible by constructing 63 barrages across the wadis to store 130 m. c.m., and by digging 840 hafirs to store about 26 m. c.m.
