Abstract

 

The Siwa oasis sits in a closed structural eroded depression; in North West Egypt with altitude 18 m below sea level, surrounded by limestone plateau with altitude to300 m above sea level. This article postulates the disaster of geo-environmental problem in both the food and economic delineating the human activities and the landscape ravine. Aim to rescue Siwa from sinking under agriculture sewage waters for long life. Hence, deliverance the continental Nubia sandstone water aquifer under Siwa from contamination by agriculture sewage and water table rise. Using of remote sensing and spatial three dimensions models integrating with geomorphological situation for sewage water boarding. The current study found that; in case of moving and extracting the sewage water to the north or the west, the water will run downward through the limestone fractures again to Siwa Oasis; the water table in the depression will be raise again with high calcium carbonate content. In case of moving and extracting the sewage water to the east where altitude range from -2 to -6 inside the depression, we will lose a good flat terrain have old cultivated soil, sabkhas, water bodies, springs, and mixed soil near to water table ready for agricultural reclamation. The selected extracting for sewage water is to the south, in dry valleys and the reservoirs has N-S trend in flat slope substratum in between the sand dunes in Great Sand Sea and not covered by sands. The water movement to the south fixed the movement-sands laying in zero contours which represent natural hazards.

Key words: Agriculture sewage, Landsat ETM images, landforms and Siwa
