Abstract

The springs in Helwan, southern suburb of Cairo, were known since the Pharaonic era. Also, the curative features of the Ain Helwan spring waters were first discovered by the ancient Egyptians. Nowadays the area of occurrence of Helwan springs is considerably polluted and turned into barren wasteland. The chapter shows the actual chemical composition of waters from two types of Helwan springs, namely the mineral springs and the sulfur springs containing the H2S. The hydrogeological conditions of the occurrence of the springs are presented in the light of their vulnerability to antropopression.
