Geochemical characteristics of stream sediments and water resources of El-Allouga area and its vicinity, southwestern Sinai: Environmental implications
Randa Ramadan Said El Sayed;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Mineralogy, geochemistry and radioactivity of the stream sediments and water resources in southwestern Sinai were investigated using collaborative techniques. Four wadis were selected for the present study; namely Wadi Nasieb, Wadi Baba, Wadi El-Seih and Wadi El-Sahu. These wadis are located close to the known occurrences of uranium, cupper, manganese and rare earth bearing mineralizations. The study area is covered by rock exposures ranging in age from Precambrian to Permo-Triassic. Forty nine samples were collected from the studied areas including sediments, groundwater and country rocks of water wells.
