| TITLE: | Location of groundwater flow systems in the areas of the Dead Sea springs by geophysical methods |
|---|---|
| PROBLEM: | Lack of local water sources to meet the demand along the Dead Sea shore |
| OBJECTIVES: | Spotting and recognition of the aquifers which feed the Dead Sea springs. Location of deep aquifers which discharge their waters directly to the Dead Sea below the springs and examination of their exploitable yield and water quality |
| APPROACH: | Use of a detailed geophysical survey by the TDEM technique as a supplement to earlier TDEM and NMR surveys; drilling of dual purpose, research and observation, wells for investigating the hydrogeological systems and for validating the geophysical findings; observations of well water levels and water quality; estimation of direct discharge to the Dead Sea. |
| BEGINNING DATE: | 1.4.1996 |
| ENDING DATE: | 31.3.1997 |
| COMMENTS ON DATES: | |
| CURRENT PROGRESS OR INTERIM RESULTS: | A report on the findings of the previous geophysical surveys is ready for submission to the Water Commission of Israel |
