Various hydraulics constructions can be used aimed at a more rainfall water preservation： superficial wells, trenches, ponds, hilly lakes and small dams. Remote sensing techniques can help to build these constructions in places where the geomorphology is appropriate, and the filtration rate relatively limited. They are emplaced according to an advanced remote sensing mapping technique, based on the combination of several thematic maps： tectonics-, linear lineament （including density）, lithological facies drainage and filtration maps. This advanced mapping technique has been used to quantitatively verify ancient established constructions along the Syrian coast, and to propose optimal localizations for future hydraulics constructions. This technique presents a simple, quick and cheap solutions to be applied in Syria and the Arab world.展开更多
