Abstract

Groundwater is a major portion of the world’s freshwater resources. One of the main challenges facing the sustainable development of Egypt is the need for better management of its limited freshwater resources. Groundwater in Egypt exists in the Nile Valley, Nile Delta, Western Desert Oases, and Sinai Peninsula. Hydrogeological mapping of groundwater resources is one of the main tools for the controlled development of groundwater resources. Remote sensing surface indicators of groundwater provide useful data where practical classical alternatives are not available. Integrated remote sensing and GIS are widely used in groundwater mapping. Locating potential groundwater targets is becoming more convenient, efficient, and cost effective than invasive methods with the advent of a number of satellite images. The nature of remote sensing-based groundwater exploration is to delineate all possible features connected with localization of groundwater. Remote sensing data supports decisions related to sustainable development and groundwater management.
