Justification for effective water planning and management in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt

Abstract

Groundwater is virtually the only source of water supply to the north of the Sinai Peninsula. Propagation conditions for Quaternary aquifers were characterised. Information was updated for all existing hydrogeological wells in the North Sinai area. Well logs for the development of the main Quaternary aquifers were compiled; statistical analysis of permeability parameter values for water-bearing rocks was carried out, based on which the zoning was identified according to the permeability coefficient values
