Abstract
The study area is principally located on the eastern side of the Gulf of Suez, Southwestern Sinai, Egypt, between longitudes 32° 30/ E and 33° 30/E and latitudes 29° 00/ N and 30° 00/N. Generally, the area is flat, but includes a few minor topographic highs, occurring at different localities in the central and eastern parts of the studied area. The groundwater potential zones for the study area were generated through the integration of various thematic maps such as drainage, slope, lithology, lineaments, quartz index, carbonate index, basement depth, recharge and rainfall, using remote sensing and GIS techniques. However, not all the previously-discussed factors have the same magnitude of contribution on groundwater potentiality. For example, the factor of rainfall amount is much more effective than lineament density. Besides, some other factors work negatively, while others work positively in the role of groundwater potentiality. Thus, each factor was assigned a specific weight of effect on groundwater potentiality.
Concerned with Ayun Musa area, Southern Sinai, Egypt, a geoelectrical resistivity survey supported by hydrochemical analyses of water samples were managed in Ayun Musa area, Southern Sinai, Egypt, to detect the groundwater aquifer, differentiate the subsurface layers and estimate the groundwater quality of its springs. the geoelectric sections discriminate up to five geoelectrical zones or layers of different resistivity ranges, thicknesses, depths, and hydrogeological characteristics. Ten water samples of both surface and groundwater were collected for the analyses of major cations and major anions in addition to pH, EC and TDS.
