Abstract: Perched groundwater resources on the northwestern coast of Egypt have thus far been little studied. However, if replenished by rainwater, they can provide a considerable amount of renewable water, i.e., for sustainable irrigation. These resources are limited, show different salinity contents and are endangered by overuse, pollution and by the sea level rising in the context of global warming. This paper presents new climatic data, geomorphologic, geologic, geochemical and hydrological researches in combination… Show more

“…The first includes chalky, marly, fossiliferous and sandy limestone, and the second comprises shale and clay beds intercalated with limestone has the same characteristics of the first zone. The Middle Miocene fissured limestone is considered the sole aquifer in the study area containing groundwater under perched conditions [14].…”
