Groundwater Flow Model of the Quaternary Aquifer: Water Resources Management Study in El Khatatba Area, Egypt | Chapter 7 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 5

 El Khatatba is believed as one of ultimate important land reclamation fields in North West Cairo, Egypt. For human activity and agricultural progress, the Quaternary aquifer's groundwater serves as a bigger source. The Quaternary fountain, however, was poorly trained in the study region, that caused salinization of the groundwater in the wells and a decline in groundwater levels in various of the wells. The primary aim of the current study is to develop a mathematical mathematical model that will detail the current hydrological conditions in the domain and forecast the hydrological environment in 10 age. The data got show that the values of hydraulic generated power vary from 0.5 m/day to 25 m/epoch, the values of transmissivity cooperative vary between 200 m2/epoch and 1800 m2/day, the principles of specific yield change from 0.10 to 0.15, and the values of diffusivity cooperative vary between 1000 m2/era to 14000 m2/day. The present model estimates that the amount of extracted groundwater reaches 97 heap cubic meters. According to the water budget, groundwater depository will decrease by until 75 million twelve inches/30.48 centimeters measured metres in the hydrological year 2019. Nearly 34 heap cubic metres of water leak from El Rayyah El Nasiri into the local Quaternary aquifer. Through the transition of steep faults, there is a discharge of around 12 heap cubic metres from the Quaternary fountain in the study region to Wadi El Natrun. Through the ten-old age water level forecast map, groundwater levels in the intentional area decrease and increase. This reflects economizing's effectiveness in lowering the groundwater aquifer's required. Therefore, the second scenario prefers directing the aquifer. Furthermore, pieces of advice not to drill additional wells are thought-out necessary, in addition to the need to activate the salt transport model to prevent deterioration in groundwater value in this level of water and maintain it.
