Investigation of the climatic, physical and hydrological conditions of a hilly area for water harvesting applications in the Western part of Crete, Greece
1999
El Houssine, Z.
The meteorological, physical and hydrological conditions prevailing in a hilly area, namely the region around Malaxa (Western Crete), are analysed and investigated in relation to water harvesting applications on it. The literature relating to water harvesting techniques and applications on it reviewed and the conclusions that have been drawn by other investigators concerning methods of water harvesting techniques and applications are outlined and discussed. Specific reasons for choosing this particular study area given and the types and installation of equipment used are also described. These results indicate that despite the fact that the mean annual rainfall can be considered as high (940.0 mm), its distribution is very uneven and only 6 percent of it falls from May to September. This fact creates serious water problems in the area during the dry season
