This document discusses the hydrological cycle and water resources in Egypt. It notes that the Nile River provides 96% of Egypt's renewable water resources according to the 1959 agreement between Egypt and Sudan. Egypt receives 55.5 billion cubic meters of Nile River water annually. Additional water comes from groundwater sources, agricultural drainage, treated sewage, and desert aquifers. Total water resources in Egypt have increased from 63.5 billion cubic meters in 1990 to 76 billion cubic meters in 2005, with increasing demands from irrigation, municipal, industrial, and other uses.

This document discusses the integration of quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems. It provides a literature review on management systems standards and the benefits of integrating these systems. The literature review finds many similarities between the different standards and support for an integrated approach. The document also presents experiences from three Australian organizations that successfully integrated their management systems.

This document provides guidance on designing and conducting aquifer pumping tests to determine the hydraulic properties of aquifers. It outlines the necessary planning steps, including developing a conceptual model of the aquifer using all available data on geology, hydrology, and existing wells. Properly designed tests that control discharge and monitor observation wells can provide accurate estimates of aquifer transmissivity, storativity, boundaries, and other properties needed to characterize groundwater flow. Conducting short pump tests or slug tests alone does not provide all the necessary information.
This document outlines a quality management system procedure for handling nonconformities. It defines nonconformities and the corrective and preventive actions used to address them. The procedure applies to nonconformities in products, services, and management systems. It describes identifying nonconformities, controlling them by investigating causes and implementing actions, reviewing corrective actions, and maintaining related records. The goal is to proactively eliminate deficiencies and prevent nonconformities from reoccurring.
This document provides guidance on conducting slug and pumping tests to determine hydrogeologic properties. It describes single well tests including slug tests which involve adding or removing water from a well to determine hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity. Proper well design, development, number of tests, and data collection methods are important. Pumping tests between multiple wells are also covered, with guidance on test design, duration, equipment, data collection and analysis to characterize groundwater flow.
The document discusses a course on analyzing pumping tests for groundwater aquifers. The course aims to teach participants how to determine aquifer properties through pumping tests. It covers key concepts like drawdown, specific capacity, and transmissivity. Participants will learn how to plan and optimize pumping tests, apply analytical techniques to interpret test data, and use software to analyze projects. The document provides an overview of the topics that will be covered in the course sessions, including aquifer conditions, equations for flow to wells, and methods for analyzing pumping test results.

This document provides a table of contents for an IMS Procedure Manual. It lists 22 procedures related to management representative, human resources, marketing, purchase, stores, dispatch, engineering, and quality assurance. Each procedure is assigned a unique document number and includes the description, issue date, revision number, and revision date. Procedures not provided in the manual kit are marked as NA and organizations must document these depending on their specific product or service.
Henry Darcy conducted experiments in 1855-1856 to study water flow through sand filters. He established Darcy's law, which states that the rate of water flow through a porous medium (specific discharge) is proportional to the hydraulic gradient and the hydraulic conductivity of the medium. Darcy found that doubling the head difference or column area doubled the discharge rate, while doubling the column length halved the discharge rate. This led to the quantitative relationship in Darcy's law that the specific discharge is equal to the hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the cross-sectional area and the head gradient. Darcy's law forms the basis for modern analysis of groundwater flow.
This document provides a template for an integrated quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety manual that meets the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001. The template manual contains sections on quality management, environmental management, and occupational health and safety management. It provides guidance on customizing the manual for a specific company by replacing placeholder text with the company's own information.
The document provides guidance on conducting pumping tests for water wells. It discusses the importance of pumping tests for determining a well's sustainable yield and performance. The document outlines the basic preparations needed for pumping tests, including gathering information on the well and acquiring basic monitoring equipment to measure water levels and pumping rates. It describes the main types of pumping tests as step tests, constant-rate tests, and recovery tests. The document is intended as a practical guide for water and habitat engineers working in remote areas to help evaluate wells and aquifers under field conditions.
