Abstract
Due to the sustainable development importance of El-Qaa Plain, El-Tur area, a geophysical and hydro-geochemical
study was carried out. The main aquifer in the study area is Quaternary. 23 Vertical Electrical Sounding stations were conducted. There are two dry geoelectric layers. The third and fourth
layers are the upper and lower part of the aquifer. The collected 58 groundwater samples were evaluated for different purposes. Total dissolved salts ranged from 303 to
3835 ppm. 83% of groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation purposes according Na%. Also, 93% of total
groundwater samples lie in good water class.
