Abstract: Compressional wave velocity (Vp), Shear wave velocity (Vs), Seismic and Well-log data are requirements for estimation of density from density-Impedance relation. Gardner's and Lindseth's relations were localized and then altered to obtain the local fits constants: b, n, e and f for sand and shale lithologies. The seismic inversion analysis yields density-impedance equation whose constants are local fits for specific rock type. The key solutions from the local fit for sands and shales discriminated, indicate b and n from compressional wave and shear wave velocities for sand and another set for shale. Also, the constants e and f from compressional wave and shear wave velocities for sand and another set for shale. Relating Gardner with those fromLindseth approaches using well-log and seismic inversion analyses and also obtained the average, the final models are 𝜌.....

Abstract: The size of the sediment varies from very fine sand to coarser silt. The frequency curves of the most samples are sharp peaked and narrow, indicating that the samples are well sorted to moderately well sorted, while one is moderately sorted. The average percentage of traction population is 2.90%, of saltation population is 71.24% and suspension population is 26.38%. The leptokurtic nature of the deposits in the study area suggests that the sediments have achieved good sorting in the high-energy condition of the estuary and/or delta. The plot of graphic kurtosis Vs inclusive graphic skewness indicates the deposition of the sediments in the river influenced environment.

Abstract: The study aims to sedimentological and geomorphological studies of the recent sediments in seven wadis draining throughout Qena Governorate, Upper Egypt to recognize their textural and mineralogical composition, assess the flash flood risk zones, to define highly risk basins. Furthermore, suggestion some precaution measures to benefit from the vast quantities of floodwater in the development of the neighboring villages and towns.Grain size analysis data revealed that most of the analyzed sediments in the investigated wadis are poorly sorted and composed of gravely sand and sandy gravel. The sediments were transported by rolling mode and fall within the traction population (surface creep population) regime. The heavy mineral assemblage has revealed that the sediments of the....

Abstract: Theaim of the present work is to investigate the contribution of the Lansat 8 data in classifying and mapping the surface sediments in El-Marasha area, west of Qena, Upper Egypt.In this study, unsupervised and supervised classifications of the Landsat-8 were applied to map the various geological units and to reduce labeling ambiguity during classification processes. The results of classification were compared with a published geological map and tested in the field. The classification of the Landsat 8 image indicates better mapping efficiency and improved the geological boundaries.The mapped units' signatures show a significant correlation with the obtained classes in terms of theirreflectance characteristics.

Abstract: Volcanic reservoir is an essential part of China's hydrocarbon resources. The study of interwell connectivity is the foundation for studying the spatial distribution of reservoirs, evaluating developing reserves, and reasonable development scheme. However, because of multiple superposed volcanic rocks which were erupted at different stages, fractures, complex gas water relations, and highly heterogeneity, how to estimate interwell connectivity in early development stage accurately and effectivelyis the key to draw up development scheme and deploygas wells. This paper presented comprehensive analysis methods which combine the analysis of static and dynamic data, volcanic rock fine description......

Abstract: Lack of water resources in arid/hyper-arid regions push the governments to search for non-convention water resources. In this article, the quality and suitability of irrigation drainage water were assessed to reuse in agricultural activities in southern Egypt. Thirty-five samples, collected from three agricultural drains, were analysed for estimating the major elements (Na, Ca, Mg,HCO3, SO4) along with physical parameters (EC and pH). The hydrochemical parameters such as SAR, RSC, and SSP were calculated to reveal the hydrochemical characteristics and suitability for irrigation. The results indicated that the irrigation drainage water belongs to bicarbonate-type water and the predominant hydrochemical facies are HCO3-Ca, HCO3-Na, and HCO3-Mg. In addition to, the hydrochemical investigation revealed that the predominant processes controlled the water quality is the rock weathering and/or evaporation. Based on comparing our finding with the FAO the irrigation drainage water can be reused for irrigation but are not suitable for fine texture soils and sensitive crops.

Abstract: In this study, we address the issue the vulnerability of groundwater to pollution at the aquifer of Oulad Ogbane (Northwest of Morocco). The study has been carried out following the TCR method (Method based on 3 parameters: The transit time (T); The degree of purification (C'p/Cp) and The recharge degree (R'/R) ; the weighting coefficients have been determined by sensibility tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis performed on sample sources showing significant variations in the applied parameters. The studied aquifer is a vital natural source used for domestic agricultural purposes. The area around it is used primarily for farming, which is characterized by a significant use of chemical fertilizers, which represents, in addition to the discharge effluents, a permanent danger to the quality of groundwater. We have carried out a comparison of results against the results of similar studies done on other neighboring aquifers, which showed an urgent necessity to adapt the weighting coefficients, which change from one area to another, to the particularities of the studied area. Applying the TCR method has allowed for distinguishing high sensibility areas that require special attention in terms of preservation and management.

Abstract: The surface water and groundwater hydrochemistry at 45 locations in Qus City, where farming activities are considerably intensive, was investigated to evaluate their irrigation suitability. The irrigation suitability of the collected water samples was evaluated based on the water salinity (EC), effective salinity (ES), sodium percentage (%Na), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), soluble sodium percentage (SSP) and magnesium adsorption ratio (MAR). The results showed that most of the water samples classified under the first class (ES < 3 epm) of water are suitable for irrigation. Based on the SAR classification, it was found that almost all the water samples in the study area are classified under the S1 water class; it is excellent and suitable for irrigation with no harmful effects from sodium. Furthermore, the US salinity laboratory (USSL) classification revealed that most of the water samples fall within the C2–S1 (medium salinity with low sodium hazard) and...
