Hydrogeochemical Evaluation of the Quaternary Aquifer in El Sadat City, Egypt

Abstract: Land reclamation projects and construction of new cities represent one of the Egypt's strategic polices to meet the over increasing population. The Quaternary aquifer represents the main water bearing formation in the study area, which extends from the Rosetta branch in the east to Wadi El-Natrun in the west and from south El-Khattab road at south to El-Nubaria and El-Nasser canals in the north. The present hydrogeological conditions of this area are studied to understand the stresses imposed by these reclamat… Show more

“…SAR is used to determine the suitability of water for irrigation in the same way as soluble sodium percentage is. The four categories of SAR are excellent (<10), good (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), doubtful (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26), and not suitable (>26). SAR values can be determined as follows:…”

“…The high groundwater use and land management practices in the agricultural area of Wadi El-Natrun have resulted in the degradation of groundwater quality and quantity. Primary concerns among users are salinization from declining water levels (King and Salem, 2012;Ibrahim, 2005;and Fattah, 2011). These problems have raised questions about the sustainability and potential risks of the current water use regime on local water, food and economic security in the area, particularly as climate change is projected to add additional pressures to water demand (Switzman, 2013).…”
