Study The Seasonal Fluctuations of Groundwater Characteristics in Al-Raudhatain And Umm Al-Aish Depressions, North Kuwait

摘要

The role of groundwater in north Kuwait is expected to be doubled in the near future. The fresh groundwater lenses in the Quaternary Aquifer in Al-Raudhatain and Umm Al-Aish Depressions (QARUAD) receive special attentions of the government and different investment authorities for agricultural development and construction new communities. Expanding the development of new communities within the limited low flat desert surfaces in north Kuwait has started to face the continuous growth of population. The specific objectives of this study were to detect the dynamics of groundwater level and salinity in wet and dry season; and to determine the relationships among the groundwater level, salinity content, and climate factors. The materials used in this paper were collected through carrying out 12 field trips in QARUAD during the period 2015-17. Moreover, network of 120 observation and dug.......
