Environmentally stable isotopes and groundwater recharge in the eastern Nile delta

Hamza, M. S. / Aly, A. I. M. / Swailem, F. M. / Nada, A.

In the study oxygen-18 and deuterium levels in groundwater and surface water samples are used in studying the source of recharge. The results show that the area bounded by the Nile and the Ismailia Canal is recharged directly from surface water. In some localities the recharge occurs indirectly (after evaporation). There is a mixing between different sources of water, recent water (surface water), old water (paleowater), flood water (rain) and sea water (connate) in some wells. Interpretation of the isotopic composition data indicates that the Nile branch (Damietta) and Ismailia Canal (surface water) are the main sources of recharge to groundwater.
