Abstract
Egypt is arid country in Africa, but has a large hydro geologic potential with many aquifers widely distributed throughout the country. Egypt is facing increasing water needs, demanded by a rapidly growing population, by increased urbanization, by higher standards of living and by an agricultural policy which emphasizes expanded production in order to feed the growing population. The effect of intrusion of seawater in coastal aquifer in western north coastal aquifer of Egypt is studied. The shape of the fresh-salt water interface and the water table profile is drawn by using Glover equation. The objectives of strategy of aquifer management are studied. The effect of increasing water table and salinity on the crop revenue is studied in Bahr Mashtoul canal command area as a case study by using OPDM model. The effect of the change in groundwater quantity and salinity from on the total gross revenue of total command area and on the gross revenue of each crop is calculated.
