HYDROGEOLOGICAL AND ISOTOPE ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER IN WADI EL-NATRUN AND SADAT CITY, EGYPT
SALAH ABDEL WAHAB EL-SAYED AHMED;
Abstract
The present study mms to assess the groundwater resources on isotopic and chemical grounds in Wadi El Natrun and Sadat City areas. The area of study is located in
the northern corner of Western Desert between longitudes
• t o I •t • t
30 00 and 30 35 E and latitudes 30 15 and 30 30 N. Three
geomophologic units are distinguished in the studied area; old all uviall plain, Wadi El-Natrun structural depression and El -Hadid tableland.
Attentions are paid to the Pleistocene and the Pliocene aquifers where the majority of productive wells are tapping the two aquifers. The Pleistocene water- bearing formation is mainly formed of sand and gravel intercalated with clay lenses (deltaic deposits), while the Pliocene water-bearing formations are formed of alternating sand and clay layers with common occurrences of gypsum and limestone (brackish water and marine facies). The groundwater in the two aquifers is found under different hydrogeologic conditions; water table condition (the Pleistocene aquifer) and confmed to semiconfined conditions (the Pliocene
