Efficiency Of Ground Water Resources In Northeast Sinai Peninsula, Egypt

Abstract

The present study deals with actual quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the groundwater resources in El Sheikh Zuwayid-Rafah area, the northeast coast of Sinai Peninsula. The quantitative analysis is achieved by using groundwater contour maps in 1982 and 1988m while the qualitative evaluation is done using an isosalinity contour map in 1988. A resulting modulus contour map (1982-1988) is drawn to show the variations in the groundwater flow condition. An efficiency groundwater map is compiled from the modulus contour map alongwith the isosalinity contour map. Accordingly, the studied area is classified to different zones arranged according to their priority of groundwater utilization.
