“…Moreover, the locations where underground reservoirs can be used or exploited as a source of fresh water must be identified using potential maps. Therefore, it is always necessary to use cartography to investigate underground water storage facilities, such as those in the Sidi Kirayr region west of the city of Alexandria [27,28].…”

Egypt is considered an arid country and depends mainly on the Nile River and groundwater reservoirs to supply water for drinking and various uses. The northwestern coastal zone is one of the regions that rely heavily on groundwater and rainwater for drinking and irrigation. As a result of changes in climate and the rise in sea level, the increase in seawater intrusion is growing. Furthermore, groundwater exploitation and increased pumping of some wells installed in this area have a negative impact on the amount of water in the region’s subterranean reservoirs. One of the approaches suggested for managing freshwater lenses floating on top of seawater from saltwater intrusion in this region is to recharge the aquifer lenses with fresh water. This can be done either by injection wells or by use of groundwater mounds, i.e., infiltration trenches. Due to the expected higher cost operation of injection wells, it is interesting to study the recharge of freshwater lenses through the use of groundwater mounds. Studies have been carried out in the past on the Sidi Kirayr area in terms of recording the water table levels and the amount of rainfall before and after the rainy season. However, we propose using an environmentally sustainable economic solution to recharge the underground reservoirs through the use of rainwater instead of letting it run off into the sea. In this respect, an infiltration trench is designed to recharge the aquifer in the Sidi Kirayr area. Two design types for the trench are proposed, with the geometrical calculations of the appropriate dimensions. The trenches are suggested north and south of the asphalt road in the area of Sidi Kirayr, providing that the trenches can be recharged by rainfall or surplus water when being available from other sources.

“…Groundwater is an extremely precious natural resource. It plays a key role in the hydrologic cycle, ecological and geological environment as well as economic and social development [1,2]. As an important part of water resources, groundwater is preferred to be used for water supply than surface water due to its characteristics of wide distribution, strong storage capacity, good water quality and easy development [3,4].…”

The human activities and urbanization process have changed the underlying surface of urban areas, which would affect the recharge of groundwater through rainfall infiltration and may further influence the groundwater environment. Accordingly, it is imperative to investigate the variation of hydrological cycle under the condition of underlying surface change. Based on the high-precision remote sensing data of 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, and Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, this work firstly studied the land use change and the corresponding changes in runoff generation mechanism and rainfall infiltration coefficient in Su-Mi-Huai area, Beijing, China. Meanwhile, SWAT-MODFLOW semi-loose coupling model was applied to analyze the water balance in the study area in typical hydrological years. The results showed that the area of the construction land (urban and rural residential land) increased by 1.04 times from 2000 to 2015, which is mainly attributed to the conversion of cultivated land to construction land in the plain area. This change caused the runoff in the area to increase by 7 × 106 m3, the runoff coefficient increased by 17.9%, and the precipitation infiltration coefficient was less than the empirical value determined by lithology. Compared with 2000, the average annual precipitation infiltration coefficient in 2018 decreased by 6.5%. Under the influence of urbanization process, the maximum reduction rate of precipitation infiltration recharge is up to 38%. The study investigated the response of surface runoff and precipitation infiltration recharge to land use change, which can provide helps for water resources managers to coordinate the relationship between land use change and rational water resources planning.
