Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Transient ElectroMagnetic (TEM) survey have been applied for characterizing the groundwater aquifers at El Sadat industrial area. El-Sadat city is one of most important cities in Egypt. It has constructed more than three decades ago about 80 km northwest Cairo along Cairo–Alexandria desert road. Groundwater main source water supplies required domestic, municipal activities this area due to lack surface sources. So, it maintain vital resource order...

The flood plain of the Nile River has been a safe dwelling throughout history. Recently with growing population and vast urbanization some buildings have started to experience structural damages, which are not related their construction design, but rather ground conditions around buildings' foundations. Variations in properties soil supporting foundations such as bearing capacity, moisture content scouring may eventually lead failure these buildings. This study is attempting characterize...

ABSTRACT The phenomenon of seawater invasion is a very common and widespread environmental problem that present in the majority Egyptian coastal aquifers. Saltwater intrusion may occur due to human activities by natural events such as climate change sea level rise. El Qaa plain structural depression trending NNW‐SSE, parallel main rift system Gulf Suez. Quaternary aquifer source for water supply this region. So, study has been conducted shed more light on description subsurface section...

According to some new discoveries at Tap-Osiris Magna temple (West of Alexandria), there is potentiality uncover a remarkable archeological finding this site. Three years ago many significant evidences have been discovered sustaining the idea that tomb Cleopatra and Anthony may be found in Osiris inside depth from 20 30 m. To confirm idea, PHASE I was conducted by joint application Ground Penetrating Radar "GPR", Electrical Resistivity Tomography "ERT" Magnetometry. The results obtained...

Geophysical tools such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and shallow seismic (both P-wave refraction Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW)) are interesting techniques for delineating the subsurface configurations stratigraphy, structural elements, caves water saturated zones. The ERT technique is used to delineate contamination, detect buried objects, quantify some aquifer properties. Eight 2-D (two dimensional) sections were measured using two different (dipole–dipole...

Continuous evaluation of groundwater aquifers in the basin Kharga Oasis is very important. Groundwater represents major factor for development plans this area as it sole source water supplies required drinking and irrigation purposes. This study concerned by analyzing potentiality shallow aquifer at northern part integrated application Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) Time domain Electromagnetic (TEM) techniques. The VES data were measured 28 points arranged along a north–south trending...

Seawater intrusion is a widespread environmental problem in the Egyptian coastal aquifers. It affects groundwater used domestic and agricultural activities along these coasts. In this study, resistivity survey form of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was conducted at ZAWYET EL HAWALA cultivated site, northwest coast Egypt to outline freshwater zone overlies main saltwater body, determine most suitable location for drilling water well irrigation purposes. The VES data were measured 11...

ABSTRACT The present study is a test of the applicability VLF‐EM method in archaeological prospecting. Hawara area about 90 km south Cairo and location an important site known as labyrinth mortuary temple complex, situated pyramid. No official excavations have been carried out complex since 1911. was employed this using small grid, 2 m between profiles stations. measured data were interpreted Fraser Karous‐Hjelt filters. Two‐dimensional (2D) resistivity cross‐sections calculated inverting...

ABSTRACT Electrical resistivity survey in the form of vertical electrical sounding was conducted at 10th Ramadan City, Egypt, to analyse subsurface lithology distribution and inter‐relation between possible infiltrated wastewater from oxidation ponds surface seepage emerged city centre. Special interest paid for tracing low‐resistivity clayey layer, which can act as a barrier against water percolation low permeable zone local perched system. Vertical data by Schlumberger electrode...

This paper deals with the use of tensorial resistivity method for fault orientation and macroanisotropy characterization. The rotational properties apparent tensor are presented using 3D synthetic models representing structures a dominant direction low vertical discontinuities. It is demonstrated that polar diagrams elements effective in delineating those structures. As shows great inefficacy investigating depth structures, it advised to accomplish surveys application other geophysical...

Transient ElectroMagnetic (TEM) sounding and Ground (GEM) profiling have been conducted at Hawara archeological area, El Fayoum, Egypt to investigate the subsurface water its effect on targets this area. This site comprises pyramid, northern necropolis a southern mortuary complex called “labyrinth”. Nowadays area is entirely abandoned surrounded by cultivated areas, as well as, surface canal named “Bahr Wahba”. The underground bodies negative effects foundation of pyramid labyrinth site,...

In the arid climate area north of Tenth Ramadan City, southeast Nile Delta, Egypt, it is necessary to search for additional water resources sustainable developments such as agricultural and industrial activities. Thirty two vertical electrical soundings (VES) a resistivity (DC) survey were carried out along four main profiles by using Schlumberger array with electrode distances (AB/2) up 500 m, explore shallow Pleistocene groundwater aquifer. The collected data was interpreted...

Mekaad Radwan monument is situated in the neighborhood of Bab Zuweila historical Cairo, Egypt. It was constructed at middle XVII century (1635 AD). The building has a rectangle shape plan (13 × 6 m) with longitudinal sides approximately WNW-ESE. comprises three storages namely; ground floor; opened floor (RADWAN Bench) and living total elevation 15 m above street level. suffers from severe deterioration phenomena patterns damage which have occurred over time. These damages could be...

The phenomenon of seawater intrusion is a very common and widespread environmental problem present in the majority Egyptian coastal aquifers showed its negative effects on all crops up coasts. This work was conducted at Ras El Hekma Gulf, which about 70 km east Matrouh city occupies northwestern Mediterranean zone between latitudes 31° 06′ 15′ N longitudes 27° 40′ 54′E. Groundwater sole source for water supplies study area due to remoteness from surface channels. Therefore, it vitally...
