Abstract:
This research presents the results of filed work conducted by the author in the Eocene aquifer zone as part of the PADUCO-GDSS project. The task was to investigate the number of wells, rate pumping ground water wells and land use in the Eocene aquifer study area.
A structure questionnaire was designed which include information about the coordinates, depths, operation status, rate of pumping, water network, sewer network and on-ground potential source of pollution such as industrial activities, farms, and landfills. The questionnaire also, included some items about land use which covers about 17 main classes such as paved streets, residential & industrial buildings, agricultural irrigated and non-irrigated lands, greenhouses, wadies and forests.
A list of more than 312 ground water wells along with potential on-ground source of pollution, spatial maps were prepared for the Eocene aquifer zone. The results and data of this field work was necessary for modeling of the Eocene Aquifer, groundwater quantity and quality, and to develop a ground water decision support system (GDSS) for Eocene Aquifer.
