ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ON THE GROUNDWATER AQUIFER IN EL SADAT AREA, WEST OF THE NILE DELTA, EGYPT
Mohamed Gad Ahmed Gad;
Abstract
The present study deals with the environmental impacts on the groundwater aquifer in El-Sadat area located to the west of the Nile Delta.
The present thesis comprises the following chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction.
Chapter II: Hydrogeologic setting. Chapter III: Hydrochemical aspects.
Chapter IV: Groundwater resotirces evaluation and sustainability.
Chapter V: Groundwater evaluation for different purposes.
1- Introduction:
El-Sadat area lies west of the Nile Delta and eastern side of the Cairo Alexandria resert road from kilo 85. to 109. It is bounded by longitude 30°
21' 64"- 30° 39' 55" E and latitude 30° 18' 57"- 30° 38' 19" N. The area under study is characterized by a long hot summer and a short warm
winter, low rainfall rates and high evaporation rates and characterized by
• very gentle topography and lack of sharp relief, the investigated area
represents apart of the old alluvial plain, t:he sUrface of the study area is .
dissected by shallow drainage lines, directed either to the Nile Delta basin or to Wadi El Natrun and Wadi El Farigh depression. The geology ofthe considered area and its vicinities concluded that, the rocks of Miocene, Pliocene, and Quaternary times are the most outcropping sediments. The surface geologic structure is relatively simple; however in the subsurface many complicated structures are detected.
