Use of remote sensing, spatial and geophysical modeling, and real recharging capabilities to identify suitable areas for groundwater exploitation in dry coastal areas.

Accurate identification of groundwater potential areas in arid regions is an important task for groundwater management and sustainability. As a result, this study used the innovative integration of remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), watershed modeling system (WMS), geophysical survey, and water mass balance equation to identify potential groundwater areas in the W. Dara, Eastern Desert, Egypt.
