Abstract
The region north of the Western Desert of Egypt receives during the few past
decadess,pecialattention due to the increasing requirements for ground water resources
andsoilpotentials for the expansion of agriculture projects and construction of new
communitiesT. his area is considered as one of the promising area for land reclamation
beyondthe Nile Delta in Egypt.
The western Mediterranean coastal zone of Egypt stretches westward from
Alexandriaextending about 500 kms to EI-Sallum with nearly la kms average width.
To accurately perform the plans of the development of the north western
Mediterraneancoastal zone many studies have to be carried out. In the present work
geophysical,hydrogeological and remote sensing techniques are used together in an
integratedmanner to achieve such studies.
Freshgroundwater systems are important sources of potable water throughout the
world,manyof them are in contact with saline water, which, if drawn into freshwater
aquifersystem, can diminish the water potability as well as its usefulness for other
purposes.Thus, a quantitative understanding of the patterns of movement and mixing
betweenfresh and saline water, and of the factors that influence these processes, is
necessaryto manage and protect these resources for future use.
