Our research aims to study the changes in air and soil temperatures and rainfall rates over the past six years in the Wadi Fada area and their relationship to the return of water flow in the Al-Khali area of Wadi Fada.
:We raised several questions
Is there a noticeable change in air temperatures in the Wadi Fida area during the past six years between 2018 and 2025?
Is there a clear change in soil temperatures in the Wadi Fida area during the past six years between 2018 and 2025?
Is there a change in the rainfall rate between 2018 and 2025 and is it related to the flow of water again in the Al-Khali area of Wadi Fada?
October and November of 2018 and 2025 were chosen as a sample for the study and data extraction on maximum and minimum air and soil temperatures, calculating the monthly average and the average daily temperature range. Satellite data were also used and data on the rainfall rate in the region were extracted using NASA Power. Through the analysis of the previous data, we concluded that there is a clear change in maximum temperatures and rainfall rate, as they have increased in the last two years, which has caused water to flow again in the Gulf area near the study site, indicating that the region is affected by the climate change that is sweeping the countries of the world.
, we, the students of GLOBE, recommend the necessity of monitoring the changes in temperatures on an ongoing basis and understanding their impact on the region, and encouraging citizens to preserve the safety of the environment and adopt environmental sustainability projects to reduce the effects resulting from climate change
