The study area includes a western limestone plateau with a narrow strip of Nile Valley and extended between Latitudes 27°27′-27°43′ N and Longitudes 30°25-30°53′ E. The importance of this area increased after the construction of the Dayrout-Farafrah new road. This area was selected from the 1.5 million acre reclamation project. Reclamation depends on groundwater occurrence. So, this research will focus on groundwater exploration. The geoelectrical resistivity method was used for delineating of groundwater occurrence for recommending new localities for drilling wells. Thirty-four Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) have been carried out with a maximum half current electrode spacing of 700 m. Results of the interpretation through the light of the Eocene aquifer characteristics along the study area indicates that the depth to water in Eocene aquifer varying from 66 to 120 m. and the best area for drilling wells is located in the southwestern, central and southern parts of the study area, where minimum depth to water and maximum groundwater resistivity values within Eocene aquifer are well-represented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
