et al.

Abstract: In arid and hyper-arid areas, groundwater is a precious and rare resource. The need for water supply has grown over the past few decades as a result of population growth, urbanization, and agricultural endeavors. This research aims to locate groundwater recharge potential zones (GWPZs) using multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) in the Wadi Qena Basin, Eastern Desert of Egypt, which represents one of the most promising valleys on which the government depends for land reclamations and developments. These approaches h… Show more

“…As a consequence, Egypt has experienced a significant decline in per capita water allocation, decreasing from approximately 2,000 m 3 /year to around 600 m 3 /year over the past few decades (Moghazy and Kaluarachchi, 2020). This challenge is further compounded by the presence of limited water resources within the country and the additional strain caused by the upstream consumption of water by neighboring nations (Al Maliki et al, 2020;Luo et al, 2020;Megahed et al, 2023).…”
