Abstract: 
This research aims to assess the effects of runoff water on flood basins and structures.
To achieve this, we identified the decomposable and non-decomposable materials that ran off the flood basins and into the canals; the effects of runoff on the flood basins; Quantify the volumes of soil transported by runoff on the north and south sides of the said plain;
The research work took place from January 2 to October 31, 2014 inclusive.
The results obtained are as follows: The area occupied by non-decomposable materials in sample per m2 is: 106.74; the average weight of the samples is 4.6 kg; the height of earth transported in layers in the submersion basins in cm is: the North side 60, the South side 47.5 and in the central canal 58.6; the volume of earth transported in the canals in m3 is: in the North belt canal 224.4 in the South belt canal 89.25 and in the central canal 599.4; the influx of earth deposits by runoff water in the belt canals in cm is: South 58.188 and North 45.278.
