South Dar Fur State Integrated Water Resources

Abstract

To study integrated water resources management South Dar Fur State of Western Sudan was selected. The objective adopted the concept of integrated water resources (IWR) approach. This method required the determination of South Dar Fur State surface water, rain water and ground water quantitatively and qualitatively. Simple statistical models as well as sophisticated softwares and advanced statistical models were applied. These included beside the means, standard deviations, the more sophisticated statistical parameters such as coefficient of variation, skewness and their corrections. These adopted softwares in this research are considered the keys leading to solution of the problems and fulfilling the objectives to create an integrated water resources management body in South Dar Fur State, to travel parallel with the expected present and future population growth.
