| ABSTRACT: | Hydrogeochemical evolution of the ancient Kurnub Group waters in Sinai and the Negev was investigated starting from the rainfall on the outcrops of the Group in the Sinai mountains, via the known flow paths and down to its outflow outlets. Geochemical models were used to identify possible relationships between the chemical composition of the water and the mineral composition of the aquiferous rocks. The chemical reactions between the two phases were found adequate to explain the lithological composition and the facial changes in the different parts of the Kurnub Group. The processes along the flow paths include dissolution, precipitation, degassing, ion exchange as well as mixing of waters. Salinization of the fresh groundwater in the southern flank of the Yarkon-Taninim groundwater basin is explained by mixing with invading Kurnub Group waters. |
