EVALUATION OF THE NILE VALLEY AQUIFER FROM ASWAN TO ASSIUT USING GEOPHYSICAL AND HYDROGEOLOGICAL METHODS
Ali Mohamed Ali Hamdan;
Abstract
The studied area is situated along the Nile Valley between Aswan and
Assiut, between latitudes 24° 00' - 27° 38' Nand longitudes 30° 40' - 33°
30' E. At this area, the valley occupies the alluvial tract along 540 km and bounded from the east and the west by scarp cliffs of the calcareous plateaus.
The Nile Valley has flat floodplain areas, occupied by the old cultivations, and bounded by a desert fringes that are usually suitable for reclamation. A strip of the desert fringes, has already been reclaimed and irrigated essentially with groundwater. The continuous increase in groundwater demands in desert fringe areas is believed to affect the su,stainability of the supply both quantitatively and qualitatively.
The present thesis deals with the following studies:
I- THE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL STUDIES Geomorphologically, the studied area and its environs divided into five geomorphologic units as follow:
I) The Nile River course: where the geomorphology of the Nile
River course from Aswan to Assuit was described.
2) The Nile alluvial plains: The alluvial plains of the Nile are restricted to the Nile Valley area, and can be differentiated into two types, the Nile floodplains (the young alluvial plains) and the . Nile Valley desert fringes (the old alluvial plains).
• The Nile floodplains (the young alluvial plains): These plains are represented by the old cultivated lands bordering the river channel on the east and west and are dissected by the irrigation canals and drains. They are almost flat and slope regionally from south to north as well as in the direction of the river channel.
