Dendritic and angular drainage patterns are prevailing in the study area. Tectonic activity shows during the proposed geological and geomorphologic features. Linear parameters and AF consider wadi Khumal a sinuous stream with high permeable. Due to dense of structures increased permeability of surface water to the aquifers. Morphological aspects suggest Khumal basin is immature and continuous uplifting.
