Abstract | ||
Wadi El Assuity is one of the longest wadis in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. The main target of the present study is delineating the groundwater aquifer and defining the suitable sites for drilling. The interpretation of magnetic data refers to the basement rocks in the research area located between 1800 and over 4500 m below the ground surface, the main trends of subsurface structures area N-S, NE-SW, and NW-SE. The geoelectric data interpretation indicates that the aquifer’s depth ranges from 6 to 18.4 m, and thickness ranges from 150 to 250 m, with resistivity values of 4–30 Ohm.m. | ||
