Description

A set of water bodies (groundwater of the Pleistocene aquifer, water table of the Holocene aquitard, Palaeo-water, irrigation and drainage water) was sampled in the Menia/Samalot Pilot Area (MSPA) on the western bank and desert fringe of the Nile valley, Upper Egypt. The samples were studied using 18O, 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 34S environmental isotopes, geochemical mass balance and aqueous solution/solid-phase chemical equilibria to understand the hydrology of this area. 1 fig
