Combining Hydro-Geochemistry and Environmental Isotope Methods to Evaluate Groundwater Quality and Health Risk (Middle Nile Delta, Egypt)

Combining Hydro-Geochemistry and Environmental Isotope Methods to Evaluate Groundwater Quality and Health Risk (Middle Nile Delta, Egypt)

This study aims to assess the vulnerability of groundwater in the Nile Delta to contamination and evaluate its suitability for drinking and irrigation. A total of 28 groundwater wells (ranging from 23 to 120 m in depth) and two Nile surface water samples were analyzed for total dissolved solids (TDS...
