(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 The use of Airborne Spectrometric Data in Geological Mapping and Uranium Exploration at Qena-Quseir Shear Zone Area, Eastern Desert, Egypt By Elkhadragy A. A., Ali M. S. Abdelaziz, Abdelmohsen G. N. Gharieb & Ahmed A. El-Husseiny Zagazig University Abstract- Qena-Quseir shear zone area is located at the central part of the Eastern Desert covering area of about 9460 Km2. This area is mainly covered by basement rocks however there are parts covered by sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Upper Cretaceous to Quaternary. In this research, airborne gamma-ray spectrometric data is used to refinement of the mapped surface geology depending on the radioelements content between lithological assemblages. The gamma-ray data is also used for studying the distribution of the radioactive elements and determination of anomalous zones of uranium. The data were collected by Aeroservice department, Western geophysical company of America along flight lines oriented in a NE-SW direction with 1.5 Km line spacing and along tie lines oriented in NW-SE direction with 10 Km line spacing. Radioelements maps shows three levels of concentrations. The high level is related to younger granite, Duwi formation and some parts of Dokhan volcanics whereas the lowest level is related to metavolcanics.

    The Annual Dose for Qena Governorate Population Due to Consume the Animal Products

    Proceedings of the 4 th Environmental Physics Conference, 10-14 March 2010, Hurghada, Egypt THE ANNUAL DOSE FOR QENA GOVERNORATE POPULATION DUE TO CONSUME THE ANIMAL PRODUCTS S. Harb, K. Salahel Din, A. Abbady and Nagwa Saad Physics Dept., Faculty of Science, South Valley University, 83523, Qena, Egypt Several kinds of cattle and poultry fodder samples collected from South Valley University and Qena governorate farm, Qena, Upper Egypt were estimated for their natural radioactivity concentrations due to Ra-226, Ra-228, Th-232 and K-40 radionuclides. Twenty nine samples were analyzed by using low-level gamma- spectrometric. Based on radionuclides concentrations in animal fodder and annual consumption rate, the human health risk from irradiation due to indirect ingestion can be assessed. The annual effective dose from these radionuclides, which may reach the local consumer through beef, milk, poultry and eggs consumption have been estimated as 2.7E+00, 1.4E+01, 1.0E-01 and 1.4E-01 µSv/y, respectively. Keyword s: Radioactivity , Natural radionuclides, Gamma spectrometric, Animal and poultry feed , Annual effective dose 1. INTRODUCTION Radiation from natural sources gives more than 80 % of the total exposure received by the average member of a population and a portion of this exposure comes from dietary intake [1]. The natural radioactivity elements are distributed everywhere in the environmental with different concentrations, their concentrations have been found to depend on the local geological condition and as such they vary from one place to another. It is necessary to monitor release of radioactivity into the environment in order to be able to provide an appropriate protection of humans [2].

    The Geographic Information System a Tool for Automatically Illustrating: the Microbiological Activities in Groundwater Aquifers

    New York Science Journal 2013; 6(1) http://www.sciencepub.net/newyork Mitigation of Excessive Drawdowns via Rotational Groundwater Withdrawal (Case study: El Kharga Oases, Egypt) Safaa M. Soliman Research Institute for Groundwater, National Water Research Center, El Kanter El Khairia, Kalubia, Egypt [email protected] Abstract: Groundwater in Egypt plays important roles in the country's water budget. One of these roles is being the sole source of water for the nomads’ communities in the Western Desert. For this role to be sustainable, careful and scientifically based plans for groundwater withdrawal should be developed. This research was initiated with the objective of mitigating the excessive drawdowns by applying rotational groundwater withdrawal. El Kharga Oases was chosen to be studied because it mainly depends on groundwater as the primary source for water and are suffering from continuous increase in groundwater drawdowns due the excessive groundwater withdrawal, so it was necessary to study the aquifer of El Kharga Oases to find a solution to this problem that is accepted from stakeholders. In this study a numerical groundwater model was constructed to evaluate the effect of switching to rotational groundwater withdrawal on mitigating excessive drawdowns. In this regard, a MODFLOW package Visual MODFLOW 4.2 was utilized to simulate the proposed rotational withdrawal policy. The model was calibrated for steady state flow conditions with acceptable accuracy; the calibrated model has been run under the rotational withdrawal policy for 3 years to predict the rate of change in groundwater drawdowns. The results show sustainable recovery of groundwater levels throughout the prediction run period.

A total 59 sites were surveyed and distributed as follows: twelve in Siwa, fifteen in Bahariya, twelve in Farafra, eight in Dakhla and twelve in Kharga Oasis. Altogether, 172 species (131 genera & 39 families) of the vascular plants were recorded from the five main distinguished habitats, viz., farmlands (H1), canal banks (H2), reclaimed lands (H3), waste lands (H4) and water bodies (H5). The most diversified habitats with high species richness were the farmlands and the canal banks, whereas the least diversified was the water bodies. The ancient irrigation pattern in these oases were studied and described. Bahariya Oasis was the richest in species followed by Siwa, while the lowest number of species was found in Dakhla Oasis, which represents the least affected area by the anthropogenic activities. Forty-three species or 25.1% of the total recorded flora confined to a certain study area: 3 in Siwa, 29 in Bahariya, 3 in Farafra and 8 in Kharga Oasis.
