This unique volume offers an up-to-date overview of all the main aspects of groundwater in the Nile Delta and its fringes, as well as latest research findings. The themes covered include:
- Nile Delta aquifer formation and its characteristics
- The use of the groundwater in the Nile Delta and its implications
- Sedimentology and hydrogeophysical characteristics
- Groundwater investigations and aquifer characterization using current direct resistivity and induced polarization
- Groundwater contamination and degradation
- Saltwater intrusion and its control- Delineation of groundwater flow and seawater intrusion using various techniques, including one-dimensional subsurface temperature profiles, geoelectrical resistivity, and integrated subsurface thermal regime and hydrogeochemical data
- Modeling of groundwater and of saltwater intrusion in the Nile Delta aquifer
- Excessive pumping and groundwater quality assessment for irrigation and drinking purposes
- Groundwater management for sustainability in the Nile Delta.The volume appeals to postgraduate students, researchers, scientists, professionals, decision makers and planners.
