Abstract
At the present time, there is an increasing need for finding new fresh water resource worldwide, especially in the aired regions. Therefore, finding new freshwater resources is even more pressing and is more urgent in all over the world including Egypt, which gets almost all of its fresh water from the River Nile. The Kharga Oasis represents one of the most promising areas, on which the government relies for development and land reclamation. The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer (NSA) beneath the Kharga Depression is considered replenish able artesian system with enough ground water that can last for more than century. Therefore the Kharga Depression is selected for this study because it is a suitable site for development using the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer (NSA) ground water.
The present study represents an application of 2D homogeneous function method to investigate the subsurface geologic sections and evaluating the groundwater potentiality in two selected regions within the Kharga Oasis territory. The first region occupies the Northwestern part of the Kharga town where the thickness of the NSA is more than 600m and the second region represents the southern part of the Kharga Oasis (south of Bares town) where the thickness of the NSA is ranged between zero, where the basements complex is crop out to the surface, and 400m maximum. The study focused on understanding the structural complexity of the Kharga Depression and the inter play between groundwater movement and brittle structure.
