Monitoring the impacts of climate change and overexploitation in the pilot area
- Forecasting climate change in the pilot area for the next 40 years
- Hydrogeological survey for the precise delimitation of the brackish zone that has intruded into the coastal aquifer
- Monitoring the quantitative and qualitative status of the aquifer by performing chemical analyses on groundwater samples
- Installation of special equipment in selected boreholes for continuous monitoring of the level and chemical status of groundwater
Improving the quality and quantity of groundwater in the coastal brackish zone
- Artificial recharge in existing water intakes (e.g. boreholes).
- Monitoring of changes in the quantitative and chemical status of the aquifer by measuring the water table level and carrying out chemical analyses on water samples.
- Real-time monitoring of water table level and groundwater quality in selected boreholes in the brackish zone.
- Submission of proposals to determine the minimum required level of the water table and the pumping rate of existing water intakes during periods of water scarcity
