Groundwater is considered as one of the most important natural resources. on which a complete dependence for all human consumption, industrial and agricultural activities in EI~Bahariya Oasis. Unfortunately. the increased reliance on groundwater resources without any- scientific pre-plans has caused some negative hydrogeological impacts such as: rapid decline in groundwater potentiometric levels and groundwater salinization. The hydrogeochemical aspects of EI.Bahariya Oasis 8rc thoroughly evaluated in the present work based on chemical analysis of 59 groundwater samples. representing the main aquifer system (Nubian Sandstone Aquifer). Most of water wells drilled in the study area range from 600 to 1200 m in depth. The groundwaters from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer in EI·Bahariya Oasis have mixed types of mineralization, i.e., pu re meteoric water that vertically infiltrated and settled in the aquifer materials during the past Pluvial times and those affected through groundwater now by relics of marine water. It has been found that the majority of the groundwater samples of the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer of EI-Bahariya Oasis is suitable for drinking, domestic uses, irrigation, livestock and poultry and some industrial purposes.
Summary in Arabic.
