In the Egyptian deserts, new land reclamation projects have been recently established to meet increasing-population growth rate and food demand. These mainly depend on different groundwater aquifers. El-Farafra Oasis is one of “1.5-million-feddan project” areas in Western Desert Egypt where only available water source world’s largest fossil freshwater reservoir “the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer Sys...

Oasis lands in Egypt are commonly described as salty soils; therefore, waterlogging and higher soil salinity major obstacles to sustainable agricultural development. This study aims map assess salinization at El-Farafra the Western Desert based on indices, Imaging Spectroscopy (IS), statistical techniques. The regression model was developed test relationship between electrical conductivity (ECe...

The most critical issue that was the main research interest is its groundwater quality which vital for public health concerns. Groundwater a significant worldwide water supply diverse communities, especially in dryland regions. assessment desert systems largely hindered by lack of hydrological data and remote location Oases. This study provides preliminary understanding influences climate, land...

An assemblage of large and robust pedunculate scalpellomorph cirripede barnacles from the Maastrichtian Kalaat Senan (Tunisia) is described, their stratigraphical position within Abiod El Haria formations noted. Four taxa are documented, three which confined to area, namely Pachyscalpellum heltzeli , Cretiscalpellum robaszynskii sp. nov. Diotascalpellum sp.; fourth, curvatum was previously reco...
