Abstract	Water in Sinai Peninsula is a critical resource needed for developmental activities. Runoff water harvesting (RWH) will have its own bearing in combating water scarcity in the peninsula. The present work introduces a detailed hydro-morphometric analysis for El-Arish watershed in north and central Sinai to highlight the priority areas for the RWH. Hydro-morphometric parameters were delineated by analyzing ASTER DEM and SPOT-4 satellite images. Six thematic layers, i.e., bifurcation ratio, drainage density, drainage texture, stream frequency, length of overland flow and infiltration number, were used to construct a multi-parametric weighted spatial probability model (WSPM). These thematic parameters, which include the linear, aerial and relief aspects, were determined for the seven sub-watersheds of W. El-Arish. The WSPM was run three times for three scenarios: (1) weights of criteria are assigned by authors’ experience, (2) equal weighs are assigned for criteria and (3) weights are assigned according to the sensitivity analysis. The resulted RWH prioritization map classified El-Arish watershed into four classes ranging from poor to very high. Based on the justified scenario III, the high to very high RWH priority classes occupy most of El-Arish watershed, which constitute about 70 % of its total area, compared to 68 and 53 % in scenarios 1 and 2, respectively. The performed WSPM scenario III map was validated using the calculated annual flood volumes and the soil infiltration capabilities map, where a high credibility of its results was found, which encourage its application on the ground.
