“…Besides, Asir Province has mountains, including Mount Sawda (3133 m), the highest one in KSA (DeNicola et al, 2015). On the side of the peninsula, people can see the Great Rift fault and escarpments that run along the Red Sea sandwiched between the Gulfs of Aqaba and Aden (Gabr et al, 2018;Madani et al, 2019). Regarding the escarpment, its eastern side slope remains comparatively placid and drops to the visible shield of the ancient land forming formed before the occurrence of the faulting process.…”

“…Based on the thickness, hydraulic features, water quality and the category of the aquifer other aquifer units become exposed. In this regard, individual farmers can meet their water needs for small-scale farming practices where they can drill wells that range from 100 to 150 m in depth in order to tap the various underground resources (Madani et al, 2019).
