Abstract Egypt observes one of the highest water budget deficits in Africa that is mainly compensated by intensive reuse untreated agricultural drainage Nile Delta. The implications on increasing soil pollution levels remain poorly characterized; however, a large‐scale can compromise crop production and quality. To address this deficiency, we evaluate level heavy metal Delta, identify its sources explore damming concentration using integrated indicators statistical modeling. Pollution show...
The global need for energy has risen sharply recently. A shift to clean is urgently needed avoid catastrophic climate impacts. Hydrogen (H2) emerged as a potential alternative source with near-net-zero emissions. In the African continent, sustainable access and transition away from fossil fuels, this paper presents new approach through which waste can produce green hydrogen biomass. Bio-based employing organic biomass recommended using biological (anaerobic digestion fermentation) processes...
This study aims to assess the vulnerability of groundwater in Nile Delta contamination and evaluate its suitability for drinking irrigation. A total 28 wells (ranging from 23 120 m depth) two surface water samples were analyzed dissolved solids (TDS), heavy metals, quality index (GWQI), hazard quotient (HQ). The findings reveal that deep (60–120 m) displays paleo-water characteristics, with low TDS, hardness, minimal metal contamination. In contrast, shallow (<60 is categorized into three...
Shallow aquifer mapping and large-scale characterization of groundwater dynamics in the Saharan-Arabian Desert is largely impeded by limited hydrological datasets from sparse unevenly distributed well logs. Today, as these aquifers are depleting at alarming rates response to climatic anthropogenic stresses, accurate knowledge their dynamical characteristics not only essential for understanding water deficit increasingly populated areas but also understand regional global environmental...
Groundwater contamination by heavy metals is a worldwide serious issue due to its severe risks human health. In the present study, total of 49 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for eleven trace elements (Al, Cr, Cd, As, Zn, Se, Sn, Ni, Pb, Mn, Cu) in west Minia area, Egypt, determine their impact on use drinking health as result. Multivariate statistics, geospatial mapping, risk assessment approaches are used evaluate potential non-carcinogenic carcinogenic hazards research...
Around the world, groundwater supply is critical for vital needs such as drinking and irrigation. This work investigates in carbonate aquifer of Middle Miocene east El Minia area, Egypt. In this regard, thirty-two samples were collected. The water analyzed Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl−, SO42−, NO3−, CO2−, HCO3−, Fe, Mn, Cd, As, Cr, Cu, Pb. Groundwater has been evaluated using two methods, which are quality index (WQI) health risk assessment (HRA). predominant soft water, range salinity from fresh...
Using geochemical and pumping test data from 80 groundwater wells, the chemical, hydrologic, hydraulic properties of fractured Eocene carbonate aquifer located west Al-Minya district, Western Desert, Egypt, have been characterized determined to guarantee sustainable management resources under large-scale desert reclamation projects. The hydrochemical show that has a high concentration Na+ Cl− varies in salinity 2176 2912 mg/L (brackish water). Water–rock interaction ion exchange processes...
Among crucial factors that control flooding events are extreme climate, urban growth, and mismanagement. Islands in the Nile River have experienced successive cycles of drying due to recent rainy years Basin countries. This paper focuses on impact floods amounts ammonium-N released, total concentrations heavy metals, enzyme activities, microbial biomass (C N) flood soils 11 islands. Field moist their airdried counterparts were collected from outskirts island incubated for 15 days at 30 °C be...
The groundwater of the west Assiut and El-Minia districts was evaluated in this paper using geoelectrical, hydrogeochemical, stable isotope (oxygen-18 deuterium) studies. In studied localities, 42 vertical electrical soundings (VES) were taken to evaluate potential, analysis, as well collection, 74 samples Eocene carried out. accordance with soundings' interpretation, there are four geoelectrical formations two major water-bearing units that act aquifers (Pleistocene Eocene). To determine...
Egypt is characterized by arid climate with rare rainfall that means surface water. The River Nile the main source of water supply. study area located in Upper western desert. under investigation subjected to intensive development last twenty years, clearly seen change agriculture and urban areas. rapid increase population especially upper part leads an increasing demand for houses on old cultivated land lead migration towards desert reclaimed new These areas are depending ground extensive...
The Wadi El-Rayan lakes are important aquatic environments located at the border of great North African Sahara. Quantifying temporal changes in these due to natural and/or anthropogenic stressors is critical when assessing potential impacts on ecosystem health and sustainability fisheries. To detect fish communities their drivers, landing composition over past 30 years was quantitatively analyzed. areas dramatically decreased from 110 km2 1991 73 2019. loss lake area attributed climate...
