​The results of the study found that the multiplicity of human activities and mining activity in the Russeifa district resulted in a set of environmental dangers and problems, such as collapses and floods, which express a response to the change of morphometric characteristics in the area. The characteristics of the drainage network have changed clearly as the orders of tributaries and streams declined from 6 to 5, and witnessed a decrease in their length, but they maintained their arrangement and dendritic drainage pattern. While it was found that each of the bifurcation rate witnessed an increase from 2.08 in 1961 to 2.64 in 2010 and an increasing in river frequency from 4.221 rivers / km2 to 5.92 rivers / km2, due to the change in the amount of water flow resulting from the increase in built and paved areas and the expansion of impermeable layers which is the cause of intense runoff, and this is an indication of flooding. ​
