Ar Riwedah landscape NE008
This soil is well drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the surface layer is high.
This soil is on alluvial plains and in wadis. This soil is used for rangeland and for farming including fruits, vegetables, date palms, and animal fodder. A few previously farmed areas are now idle. The total area being built-up for housing, roads, and business is increasing. Some areas are in natural vegetation. Commonly described vegetation species include Acacia tortilis, Haloxylon salicornicum, Prosopis cineraria, and Prosopis juliflora. Vegetation cover is 1 to 20%.
This soil is mostly located on the western half of the alluvial plains, generally closer to the dune/alluvial plain interface than to the mountains. The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the relatively fine texture as compared to most other soils in the survey area. Where quality irrigation water is available, this soil is well adapted to agricultural use for most crops grown in the area.
