The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System in Northeast Africa and the Middle East is a huge water resource of inestimable value to the population. However, natural radioactivity impairs groundwater quality throughout the aquifer posing a radiological health risk to millions of people. Here we present measur...
The structural elements play an important role in the deposition and distribution of the sedimentary succession of the Nubian sandstone sediments. Consequently, this sedimentary pattern affects the occurrences and movements of the groundwater within the aquifer system. Along the structurally high areas, ...
The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is one of the world’s largest fossil groundwater resources. In northern Chad, notably in the areas of the
The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, the world's largest, is located under the eastern part of the Sahara desert and spans the political boundaries of Libya, Chad, Sudan and Egypt.───世界上最大的努比亚砂岩蓄水系统,位于撒哈拉沙漠东部地区下面,跨越利比亚、乍得、苏丹和埃及。 About two months lat...
This research aims to characterize the aquifer system and assess the current condition of the wellfield since its operation in 2004 in terms of groundwater quality and quantity. It further evaluates current groundwater management practices. The geographic information system was used to map hydrogeologic...
