Abstract
The purpose of this account is to place on record an exceptionally detailed set of data concerning water-table movements which have been accumulated on an area of 70 acres at Giza, near the road to the Pyramids from Cairo, and about a kilometre from the river Nile. The significance of these data is examined principally with respect to surface geology and hydrology, irrigation, and drainage ; the biological aspects are purposely neglected at this stage, but will be elaborated later. An account of earlier observations on the same site was published in 1914. These data are incorporated in the present account, being of special interest in that they were mostly taken in 1913, when the Nile flood was lower than it had been for a century.
