In the past periods, the northwestern part of Sudan and southwestern part of Egypt (Kehl and Bornkamm, 1993) were with great effective moisture, which are evident from archaeological sites associated with remnants of playa or lake deposits. This was the source of recharge in the NSAS. The estimated recharge rates of the pluvial period were a little high at the Uweinat highlands and central Sudan area (7–15 mm/year), and low in northern Sudan and southern Egypt area (6–8 mm/year) (Fig. 13).

paleowaters, mixing and modern groundwaters. The isotopic signatures of north Sudan and south of the Uweinat–Aswan uplift indicates replenishment by groundwater flow from the south that is hindered by the uplift. Young C-14 ages for groundwater samples were reported from east Uweinat (~1.8–11.7 kyr) and from northern Sudan (~50 kyr), reflecting the modern recharge in this area to the south of the Uweinat-Aswan uplift. The groundwater of the Western Desert shows the highest

The NSAS area has been subjected to intensive geological studies by several workers (Ball, 1927; Sandford, 1935; Knetsch and Yallouze, 1955; Ibrahim, 1956; Said, 1962; Hume, 1965; Ambroggi, 1966; Ezzat, 1974; Pallas, 1978; Amer et al., 1981; Klitzsch and Wycisk, 1987, 1999; El Ramly, 1983; Klitzsch et al., 1987; Hesse et al., 1987; Schandelmeier et al., 1987a; Wycisk, 1987a, 1990, 1993,1994; E1 Gaby and Greiling, 1988; Klitzsch, 1989, 1994; Said, 1990; Hermina, 1990; Klitzsch and Squyres, 1990; Klitzsch

There is no doubt that the Nile River is the most important river for Egypt. Without this river, Egypt would be an arid, desolate desert. Indeed, if the Nile River weren't existent, Egypt would not have prospered as one of the greatest ancient civilizations. The Nile River stretches across Egypt from north to south and provides the regions around with agricultural land. In the north, the Nile River splits into the two directions, forming a delta. This delta provides fertile soil that is beneficial
