Abstract
The present work is aiming to study the aquifer potentiality conditions at Nuweiba, in the Southeast of the Sinai Peninsula. Some 50 vertical electrical soundings (VESs) were carried out in the spring of 1997 using the Schlumberger technique with AB up to 600 m. Different types of near surface inhomogeneities (NSIs) have been reported in the literature as a considerable source of error, which could lead to misinterpretation of resistivity data. To overcome such erroneous interference, a median smoothing algorithm to remove the effects of NSIs from the apparent resistivity data is applicable. The algorithm was implemented to the measured data at Nuweiba area. The longitudinal conductance and transverse resistance parameters were used to evaluate the aquifer potentiality conditions (water quality and productivity) at the site. Finally, locations for drilling fresh water wells were also recommended according to the results after filtering the data set.
