2 Detremination of rainfall characteristics by using rainfall simulator Ghazi AlMokdad ; MSaid AlShater 2 and Isam Bashour 3 ABSTRACT The study was carried out in the AbuJarash farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus, University by using a rainfall simulator, Which was constructed and set up according to the standard technical specifications, mimiking the Morin et al model, which had been invented in 967 Two types of nozzles were used 2H30 for high rain intensity, and HH2 for low to moderate rain intensities The apparatus was used to simulate the rainfall pattern under Syrian climatic conditions, in order to study its characteristics and effects on Syrian soils There was a possibility of getting constant intensities of rains at different water pressures 04, 08, bars with significant differences, High disk speed 44, 98 rpm gave significant differences in rainfall intensities compared with low disk speed 8, 36 rpm Rainfall properties drop diameter, Kinetic energy, terminal drop velocity were also determined based on different kinds of nozzles and rain intensity Key words Rainfall simulator, Rainfall intensity, Drop diameter, Wter pressure PhD, 2 Professor, Dep Soil Sci, Faculity of AgriculturePO Box 3062, Damascus University 3 Professor, Dep Soil Irrigation and Mechanization, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Science, American University of Beirut 334
