Evaluation Of Hydraulic Parameters For Dara Area (Gulf Of Suez), Egypt

Abstract

This work aims to furnish a basis for evaluating the water resources in Dara Area which is one of the vergin areas assigned for the purpose of land reclamation. Analysis of pumping and recovery tests performed in the study area is done by six methods manually and three methods using computer program. The data obtained by both methods show close similarity, and accordingly, the computer programs used are recommended for future analysis. The results show that the aquifer in the area is of the semiconfined type and is dissected by several barriers (faults) which were not identified by current methods of investigation. The weighted average values of the hydraulic parameters furnish reliable bases for further investigation and computation of groundwater potentialities within the study area using the relevant computer simulation programs.
