Abstract. The sustainable agricultural development in the northwest coast of Egypt suffers constantly from the effects of surface runoff. Moreover, there is an urgent need by decision makers to know the effects of runoff. So the aim of this work is to integrate remote sensing and field data and the natural resource conservation service curve number model (NRCS-CN).using geographic information systems (GIS) for spatial evaluation of surface runoff .CN approach to assessment the effect of patio-temporal variations of different soil types as well as potential climate change impact on surface runoff. DEM was used to describe the effects of slope variables on water retention and surface runoff volumes. In addition the results reflects that the magnitude of surface runoff is associated with CN values using NRCS-CN model . The average of water retention ranging between 2.5 to 3.9m the results illustrated that the highest value of runoff is distinguished around the urban area and its surrounding where it ranged between 138 - 199 mm. The results show an increase in the amount of surface runoff to 199 mm when rainfall increases 200 mm / year.

El Garf Studies on the shallow wadies of the Mareotis sector of the Mediterranean coastal land of Egypt: Floristic features of Wadi Hashem Abstract Osman, A. K. & El Garf, I. A.: Studies on the shallow wadies of the Mareotis sector of the Mediterranean coastal land of Egypt: Floristic features of Wadi Hashem. — Fl. Medit. 25: 57- 71. 2015. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. A total of 195 species were recorded in the different sectors of Wadi Hashem cut-in the lime- stone plateau west of Mersa Matruh (Egypt). The distribution of these species in the different sectors of the Wadi as well as the phytochoria for the recorded species is provided. The highest number of species (157) was recorded in the stream part of the Wadi bed while the lowest num- ber (34) was recorded in the three cliffs of the Wadi. Sixty seven species forming 34.36% of the total are typical Mediterranean (monoregional) taxa. About 93 species (47.69%) are bi- or pluriregional taxa with apparent Mediterranean affinities. Key words: flora, phytochoria, Wadi Hashem, Mareotis sector. Introduction The Mediterranean coastal land of Egypt remains floristically one of less known territories of this country. It is regarded by El-Hadidi (1980) as one phytogeographi- cal (ecological) territory extending for about 970 km from Sallum on the Egyptian- Libyan border eastwards to Rafah on the Egyptian-Palestinian border, with an average width of 15-20 km in a north-south direction.
