Joint evaluation of groundwater occurrences in Abu Madi coastal area.

      Аннотация: This topic addresses the evaluation of groundwater resources in Abu Madi coastal area located in northern Egypt using joint geophysical and hydrogeochemical investigations. In order to achieve this target, we have conducted twenty Vertical Electrical Soundings at the study area, which were followed by 2-D Electrical Resistivity Tomography along two traverses. In addition, 26 surface water, shallow and deep groundwater samples have been collected for hydrogeochemical analyses of various ionic contents and stable isotopic composition. The interpretation of the two data sets enabled the understanding of the groundwater distribution in the geoelectical layers as well as its quality for domestic and industrial uses.
