Abstract he objective of the present study in this thesis is to evaluate the effect of environmental conditions on ground water quality in North Sinai. The research plan started by selecting ten underground wells representing El-Arish, other ten wells representing sheik Zoied, and the other ten wells to represent Rafah. besides to include studying the impact of the human activities on the underground water quality, five wells were added in the vicinity of the waste water station out of EIArish, another five wells in the vicinity of the slaughter house within El-Arish, and finally another five wells in the vicinity of the food canning factory at Rafah. Sites of these 45 selected wells were shown on the enclosed maps. Meteorological records of North Sinai along the year 2000 were tabulated across the four seasons. The parameters recorded included temperature, vapour pressure, solar radiation, evaporation transpiration, actual pressure, wind speed, and rain precipitation. The season of rain- fall mainly during winter and autumn is the mam input source for renewal and dilution of the underground ground water. The meteorological seasonal variations are expected to have their impact on the underground water quality, and levels of chemical contents. |
