Sinai Peninsula is considered one of the most important targets for development of the successive Egyptian governments. Water resources are the main issue for development and settlements or creation of new communities. Sinai Peninsula has three water resources components, rainwater and surface runoff, groundwater, and desalinated water. The aim of the research is to introduce a decision-support tool to support the decision makers in their decisions for solving the water resources problems and settling. The study area covers about 2,000 km2 at the northeastern part of Sinai, where the estimation of the hydrographs of runoff was carried out beside those for various return periods (25, 50, and 100 years), using the WMS software.
