Middle East Journal of Applied Volume : 08 | Issue :03 |July-Sept.| 2018 Sciences Pages: 939-956 ISSN 2077-4613 Integrated Geochemical Indicators and Geostatistics to Asses Processes Governing Groundwater Quality in Principal Aquifers, South Sinai, Egypt Ehab Zaghlool and Mustafa Eissa Hydrogeochemistry Dept., Division of Water Resources and Arid Land, Desert Research Center, 1 Mathaf Al Mataria St., Mataria, P.O.B. 11753, Cairo, Egypt Received: 26 June 2018 / Accepted: 29 August 2018 / Publication date: 15 Sept. 2018 ABSTRACT The groundwater system in the principal aquifers situated in the Southern Sinai was regionally investigated, using hydrochemical tools and geostatistical technique to evaluate the recharge sources and salinization origins which consider the main constraint for sustainable development in such an arid region. The environmental stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H), groundwater salinity, conservative ions (Cl and Br), ion ratios and the sea water mixing index (SWMI) were utilized to identify the salinization mechanism and to delineate the recharge for different aquifers (Quaternary, Miocene, U. Cretaceous, L. Cretaceous and Precambrian) situated in the upstream watersheds and along the coastal regions. The regional study depends on four hundred and sixty-eight groundwater samples tapping the main aquifers. The geochemical data have been analyzed statistically to estimate the seawater mixing index (SWMI) in order to delineate the deteriorated aquifer zones. The environmental stable isotopes confirm the upstream of Gharandal, Watir, Dahab basins and Saint Catharine areas receives considerable amount of the annual precipitation that could be managed for sustainable development. The hydrochemical ion ratios and the SWMI values give good insights for aquifer salinization, where; mixing with seawater intrusion in the downstream coastal aquifers, leaching processes of minerals in the aquifer matrix, evaporation processes are considered the main sources for aquifer deterioration. -
Directional Storm Surge in Enclosed Seas: the Red Sea, the Adriatic, and Venice
J. Mar. Sci. Eng. 2015, 3, 356-367; doi:10.3390/jmse3020356 OPEN ACCESS Journal of Marine Science and Engineering ISSN 2077-1312 www.mdpi.com/journal/jmse Article Directional Storm Surge in Enclosed Seas: The Red Sea, the Adriatic, and Venice Carl Drews Atmospheric Chemistry Observations & Modeling, National Center for Atmospheric Research, P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, CO 80307, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-303-497-1429; Fax: +1-303-497-1400 Academic Editor: Rick Luettich Received: 30 March 2015 / Accepted: 25 May 2015 / Published: 29 May 2015 Abstract: Storm surge is dependent on wind direction, with maximum surge heights occurring when strong winds blow onshore. It is less obvious what happens when a port city is situated at the end of a long narrow gulf, like Venice at the northwestern end of the Adriatic Sea. Does the narrow marine approach to the port city limit the dangerous wind direction to a span of only a few degrees? This modeling study shows that the response in surge height to wind direction is a sinusoidal curve for port cities at the end of a long inlet, as well as for cities exposed along a straight coastline. Surge height depends on the cosine of the angle between the wind direction and the major axis of the narrow gulf. There is no special protection from storm surge afforded by a narrow ocean-going approach to a port city. Keywords: storm surge; Red Sea; Adriatic Sea; Venice; COAWST; ROMS; wind direction; wind setdown 1. Introduction Wind-driven storm surge can cause great damage and loss of life in coastal regions. -

Fault Lines: Sinai Peninsula 20 OCT 2017 the Sinai Peninsula Is a Complicated Operational Environment (OE)
Fault Lines: Sinai Peninsula 20 OCT 2017 The Sinai Peninsula is a complicated operational environment (OE). At present, there are a number of interconnected conditions creating instability and fostering a favorable environment for the growth of Islamic extremist groups. Egypt is battling this situation with large-scale security operations, yet militant activity is not diminishing. The Egyptian government, in coordination with the Israeli government, is placing renewed interest on countering insurgent actors in the region and establishing a lasting security. Despite its best effort, Egypt has been largely unsuccessful. A variety of factors have contributed to the continued rise of the insurgents. We submit there are four key fault lines contributing to instability. These fault lines are neither mutually exclusive nor are they isolated to the Sinai. In fact, they are inexorably intertwined, in ways between Egypt, Israel, and the Sinai Peninsula. Issues related to faults create stability complications, legitimacy concerns, and disidentification problems that can be easily exploited by interested actors. It is essential to understand the conditions creating the faults, the escalation that results from them operating at the same time, and the potential effects for continued insecurity and ultimately instability in the region. FAULT LINES Egypt-Israel Relations - Enduring geopolitical tension between Egypt and Israel, and complex coordination needs between are “exploitable dissimilar and traditionally untrusting cultures, has potential for explosive effects on regional stability. sources of Political Instability - Continued political instability, generated from leadership turmoil, mounting security concerns, and insufficient efforts for economic development may lead to an exponentially dire security situation and direct and violent instability in the challenges to the government. -

Hasan 1Demonstrator, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. 2Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 3Professor of Environmental Hydrology, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt Abstract: Due to the importance of Sinai as one of the major development axes for the Egyptian government which try to increase/encourage the investment in this region of Egypt, the flood protection arise as a highly important issue due to the damage, danger and other hazards associated to it to human life, properties, and environment. Flash flood, occurred at the last fiveyears in different Egyptian cities, triggered the need of flood risk assessment study for areas highly affected by those floods. Among those areas, AL-Arish city was highly influenced and therefore need a great attention. AL-Arish city has been attacked by many floods at the last five years; these floods triggered the need of the evaluation flood risk, and an early warning system for the areas highly affected by those floods. The study aims to help in establishing a decision support system for the study area by determining the flood extent of wadiAL-Arish, so the damages and losses can be avoided, to reduce flood impact on the developed areas in and around wadi AL-Arish and to improve the flood management in this area in the future. -
