This chapter discusses Egypt's experiences in leading knowledge generation and sharing with other riparian countries to further the sustainable utilization of the major transboundary aquifer in Africa: the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS). To date, Egyptian transboundary groundwater management ...
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 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...
Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS). The project’s long-term goal was to establish rational, equitable management of the NSAS in support of sustainable socioeconomic development, and to protect biodiversity and land resources in the region. The NSAS is the world’s largest known ‘fossil’ ...
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) level two (L2) data is used in estimating the groundwater storage changes (GWSC) in the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS). This set of data consists of spherical harmonics coefficients with specific degree and order. The GRACE data is de-co...

Highest alkalinities are observed in the fault-controlled Kharga oasis. Previous workers have suggested deeply sourced fluids and a potential magmatic input from the mantle into the aquifer system suggested by the high COMOHAMMED, Abdelmawgoud
The article focuses on the relationship of Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) and the United Nation General Assembly's 2008 Resolution on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers (TBA's). It compiles the geological, climactic, political and economic vulnerabilities of NSAS's in comparing with other ...

The Kharga Oasis in the western desert of Egypt is an arid area that mainly depends on groundwater from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS), for which the hydrogeological data needed for groundwater simulation are lacking, thereby introducing a problem for model calibration and validation. ...
