Abstract : Al-Kharj region, in the central part of Saudi Arabia, has been developed mainly for agriculture. Accordingly, the water demand increase resulted in significant depletion of the present aquifers. Therefore, necessar~ precautions must be taken. This paper proposes preliminary solutions by evaluating optimum aquifer yield patterns from wells in this region. Also, charts are constructed for different discharges as well as number of wells to estimate the time of depletion in each of the aquifers. It is therefore, possible by use of these charts either to limit the number of wells or discharges as convenient. In fact, these charts provide a basis for simple groundwater management in the Al-Kharj area. Furthermore, the proposed charts provide a significant reduction of the shortfall in the required discharges from about 20% to 8%. However, the correct use of the charts will benefit the future plans of the area in managing the use of the available water.
