DETERMINATION OF AQUIFERS AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS IN KHARTOUM BAHRI AREA, SUDAN

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the ground water conditions in Khartoum Bahri area using Rock Works Software program based on geological and hydrological data. The study discusses two aquifers upper one has small thickness and not continuous, the Lower one is the Nubian sandstone aquifer and it is the main aquifer in the area. The Lower aquifer in some area is partially confined and at other locations is unconfined or confined. The distribution of the static water levels (SWL) in lower aquifer in all area near the Nile and Blue Nile is near from the surface this illustrates the importance of the Nile and Blue Nile in the recharge. Groundwater in the Lower aquifer in the study area is fit for drinking due to the distribution of the Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) except Elaolyab area records high value.
