| ABSTRACT: | The study involved the construction and operation of a mathematical model of the Qa’ Disi group of aquifers, as distinct from that of the Qa Disi aquifer itself. The model covered not only the Qa Disi aquifer, but also the similar but smaller Paleozoic sandstone aquifer of upper Wadi Yutm near Quweira, and its extension into the alluvial aquifer of Wadi Yutm between there and Aqaba. The new model enables the whole aquifer system to be studied from the points of view of both water availability and the economics of water use not merely for irrigation at Qa Disi, but also for combinations of that with the various possible requirements of Aqaba for domestic and industrial water. |
