A GIS EXERCISE FOR STUDENTS TO EVALUATE A PROPOSED SOLAR-HYDROELECTRIC POWER PROJECT IN THE QATTARA DEPRESSION, EGYPTStudents prepare for this project earlier in the semester by learning how to use ArcMap to determine areas, volumes, and evaporation amounts from lakes that have formed in the ...
The RAM-3 well drilled in May provided further delineation of the RAM field in the Qattara Depression (discovered August 2023) and tested gas and condensate from the Lower Bahariya and Middle Bahariya. The well will be temporarily abandoned for a possible future gas compl...
Qattara Depressionsea level riseOne of the most prominent geomorphological features in the Western Desert of Egypt is the occurrence of the Qattara Depression (20,800 km2 or 2% of Egypts area), which has the deepest point in Africa. Topographic analysis of the depression was carried out using ...
Kharijah, Siwah, Farafirah, Bahariyah, and other large oases dot the landscape; another lowland, the Qattara Depression, is an inhospitable region of highly saline lakes and soils covering about 23,000 sq km (8,900 sq mi). The outstanding topographic feature is the Nile River, on which ...
Qattara Depression From the series “Amazing Land Areas Below the Sea Level” One of the deepest lowlands of the earth can be found in Egypt, among the desolate landscapes of the Libyan desert. Here is the Qattara Valley, which is one of the deepest lowlands of the African continent. Afte...
Since the Qattara Depression forms the deepest point in the Western Desert of Egypt, groundwater flow in all aquifers bordering this area is consequently directed to this final base level (Qattara Project Authority, 1979). Most of the groundwater that evaporates in the depression comes from the ...
The lowest point, the Qattarah Depression in the Western Desert, drops at places to 132 meters below sea level and covers an area the size of New Jersey. Alexandria receives the majority of Egypt's limited rainfall, with 19cm (about 7 ½”) being the yearly average. Two cm (about ...
The Qattara Depression, which has a nearly triangular shape with a vertex at about 67km distance from the Mediterranean Sea, is the largest natural closed land depression (19,605km 2 ) of the Eastern Sahara. It forms the most significant geomorphologic feature in the northern part of Egypt's...
It has been demonstrated that the Qattara Depression is actually constituted of several small depressions. The environmental impact of the project implementation has been visualized especially regarding the possible influence of the saline water on the fresh groundwater sources. The thick salt accumulation...
This papers aims to study water and electricity for sustainable development around Qattara Depression in Egypt. This study suggests target level ranging from 170-165 (m) rather than 175 (m) upstream High Aswan Dam (HAD) and release the water for cultivation purposes in the Old Delta land from...
