Environmental Management of Groundwater in Egypt via Artificial Recharge Extending the Practice to Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT)

摘要: The economic development in Egypt and the rapid growth rate various sectors are dependent on availability of water resources. has turned to use groundwater satisfy growing demand, at expense exceeding safe yield overexploiting aquifer systems some areas such as western Nile Delta along desert fringes Valley. Shortage irrigation sources bring out issue using non-conventional As a part from Environmental Management Groundwater Resources, launched program examine feasibility artificial recharge for augmentation supply. Through this detailed study been carried investigation potential site selection carrying an experiment treated wastewater. by sewage is new tool can be applied safety compared with direct use. soil (unsaturated zone), advanced treatment stage will added which most biological load removed partially reduction concentrations chemicals found. This paper presents preliminary hydrogeological tested scenarios storage used evaluate technical environmental, consideration Abu Rawash farm case study. In addition applying environmental impact assessment (EIA) assess guidelines future projects. Results indicated that wastewater promising whoever it needs more feature influences mechanism health risk due changes physical chemical conditions prevailing or limited adsorption capacities well microorganisms survive toxic pollutants degradation.
