Abstract
Growing concerns regarding the sufficient provision of safe drinking water in Egypt has resulted in a program to develop riverbank filtration (RBF) sites along the River Nile. However, in RBF systems various variables interact and influence each other and thus determine the yield and performance of the entire system. Detailed field investigations of four RBF sites in Sohag were conducted based on groundwater flow simulations. The results suggest a short distance between the wells and the river and a moderate distance (< 50 m) between the wells themselves. A site with several RBF wells parallel to the river should be preferred upon single well sites, as the gradient between the river and the wells is maintained even if individual wells fail.
