Assessing the soil hydropedological processes play a significant role for watershed management. Many models can be used such processes. Wadi El Raml is one of main wadis extended from Fuka to Libyan-Egyptian border in Northwestern Coast Egypt (NWCE). The problem this area that most rainfall water with sediments runs off Mediterranean Sea which makes it challenge save and water. Hydropedological study were utilized estimate surface runoff, infiltration, sediment yields based on multiple integrated data as soil, landuse/landcover, environment KINEROS2 model. This delineated 4 units 7 classes landuse/landcover input addition event about 25 mm over 2 days. obtained results showed 16.16% (431,229.6 m3) precipitated (2,668,500 flowed runoff. For benefiting flowing water, recommended 128 points constructing cisterns and/or reservoirs 400 cement dykes harvesting locations domestic agricultural uses, respectively.
