Reviewer 2 Report

I have read with interest the paper that discusses and presents an integrated modelling system for the evaluation of the quantity and quality of water resources of coastal agricultural watersheds. In particular, the study explains that the research of the modelling system consists of coupled and interrelated models. What I would like to draw the attention of the scholars to, and ask them to revise, is the following:

  • make explicit in the introduction what the research question is, and what the relevant literature they are contributing to is;
  • include also the model and study of the scholars at the University of Jordan Mohammad and Shrifa in particular. See in particular their works: Mohammad, Alsharifa Hind. "Understanding the impact of droughts in the Yarmouk Basin, Jordan: monitoring droughts through meteorological and hydrological drought indices." Arabian Journal of Geosciences 11.5 (2018): 103; Odeh, T., Mohammad, A. H., & Almomani, T. (2019). Over-pumping of groundwater in Irbid governorate, northern Jordan: a conceptual model to analyze the effects of urbanization and agricultural activities on groundwater levels and salinity. Environmental Earth Sciences, 78(1), 40.
  • Moreover, has your research also included a focus on landscape transformation? Recent research has investigated this in the case of Egypt and Jordan, and this may be useful to read and include: Riad, P., Graefe, S., Hussein, H., & Buerkert, A. (2020). Landscape transformation processes in two large and two small cities in Egypt and Jordan over the last five decades using remote sensing data. Landscape and Urban Planning, 197, 103766
  • The discussion should bring together the RQ and the methodology and framework together, providing a good concluding remarks. 

I hope these points help in revising the paper.
