Randomized trial examines groundwater quality and suitability for irrigation in Western Desert, suggesting management for salinity control.

This research investigates the hydrogeochemical properties of the Moghra aquifer and evaluates its suitability for irrigation.
Collected 70 groundwater samples in November 2023
Analyzed water quality using physicochemical parameters and stable isotopes
Applied Gibbs, Biplots, and Piper trilinear diagrams to infer geochemical processes
Groundwater salinity ranged from 341 mg/L to 5129 mg/L, indicating variability in quality.
Approximately 80% of samples were supersaturated with calcite, aragonite, and dolomite.
Assessment showed all samples are adequate for irrigation, but management for salinity control is recommended.

Eltabakh et al. (2026) studied this question.
