Abstract
The groundwater development in Egypt in the present time is of a vital importance than in past few years. A comprehensive plan for new land reclamation projects has been recently established. To achieve these plans new sources of water must be available. This has been done by conducting a number of VES’S where interpreted by a comparison with the existing drilled borehole soil samples. The optimum resistivity model is obtained by matching method using “IPI2Win” Moscow State University 2000 software computer programs for resistivity interpretation. The results of the quantitative interpretation of the resistivity curves has been represented as geoelectric sections, showing the thickness and true electric resistivity values of the different geoelectric layers. The results of quantitative interpretation of the vertical electrical soundings show subsurface five geoelectric units and the aquifer system belongs to lower Miocene and the total salinity of 2451.2ppm. The depth to water surface is 88.05m and the total dissolved solids are 2451.2ppm (Mekhemer well). The salt assemblages in Sahel Hasheesh are NaCl, MgCl2, MgSO4, CaSO4, Ca(HCO3)2. This marine water is of brackish sodium chloride water type (NaCl).
