Gaza coastal aquifer (GCA) is the most precious natural source where it is the only source of water for different uses. Groundwater crisis in Gaza includes two major folds: shortage of water supply and contamination. The extraction of groundwater currently exceeds the aquifer recharge rate. As a result, the groundwater level is falling continuously leading severely deterioration of GCA. The main objective of this study is to analyze and evaluate the current and proposed water resources management plans and their effect on the water level of GCA. In this respect, the available quantities of rainfall that could be harvested and infiltrated from different types of land-use based on existing and planned situations are studied using GIS tool and numerical models for GCA using V-MODFLOW environment for simulating four scenarios: (i) existing management practice (no action scenario), (ii) proposed Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) stormwater infiltration plan, (iii) proposed Gaza Emergency Technical Assistance Program (GETAP) interventions, and (iv) combination between second and third scenarios. The management scenarios were tested with the calibrated flow model for the target period between 2016 and 2040. The simulation results of existing management practice scenario show that there are several depression zones in Gaza Strip; in southern part from ??18 to ??24 m MSL in 2020 and 2040, in the northern part from ??7 to ??12 m MSL in 2020 and 2040, and in the middle regions experienced a small decline in groundwater level. The simulation results of proposed PWA scenario indicate similar depression zones as per first scenario but with good enhancement of water level, ??17 to ??18 m MSL in the southern part and ??3 to ??6 m MSL in the northern part in 2020 and 2040, respectively. The simulation results of GETAP intervention scenario show a positive impact on groundwater level. The results of fourth scenario show good enhancement of water level, in which the water level in the northern part ranges from +?3 to +?6 m MSL in 2020 and 2040, while in the south part ranges from ??15 to +?4 MSL in 2020 and 2040.  相似文献   

Electro‐Fenton Treatment of Photographic Processing Wastewater     

Nasr Bensalah  Ahmed Bedoui  Shankararaman Chellam  Ahmed Abdel‐Wahab 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2013,41(7):635-644

In this work, the treatment of photographic processing wastewaters (PPW) by electro‐Fenton process has been investigated. The Influence of operating conditions on kinetics and efficiency of electro‐Fenton process has been evaluated using carbon felt cathode and platinium (Pt) or boron‐doped diamond (BDD) anode. The results of electro‐Fenton treatment of PPW have shown that nearly complete removal of total phenols was obtained for all combinations with pseudo‐first rate constants of 0.07, 0.012, and 0.018/min for carbon felt/Pt, carbon felt/BDD and Pt/BDD cathode/anode combinations, respectively. The combination of carbon felt cathode with BDD anode achieved the highest total organic carbon (TOC) removal of 90%, while it did not exeed 40% for carbon felt/Pt combination. Increasing current intensity and Fe²⁺ dose enhances the efficiency of electro‐Fenton process. However, increasing pH decreases TOC removal during the treatment of PPW by electro‐Fenton process. The highest efficiency of electro‐Fenton process using BDD anode can be explained by the contribution of direct and indirect oxidation routes in the degradation mechanism of organics including (i) oxidation via hydroxyl radicals generated from the catalytic decomposition of H₂O₂ and from water discharge on BDD anode, (ii) direct oxidation of certain organic compounds on BDD anode, and (iii) mediated oxidation with inorganic oxidants electrogenerated from anodic oxidation of supporting salts.  相似文献

The Padé approximation technique is used to calculate the angular distribution of radiation. Numerical results for the [0/1] Padé approximant lead to numerical results that compared with the exact results.  相似文献   

Padé approximant calculations for dispersive,isotropic scattering,homogeneous media     

E. A. Saad  M. S. Abdel Krim  A. A. El-Dimerdash 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1988,149(2):187-195

Exact relations for radiation heat flux at the boundaries of a slab with diffusely reflecting boundary conditions and internal source are obtained in terms of the reflection and transmission coefficients of a source free slab with isotropic boundary conditions. The integral equation defining the radiation heat flux contains explicitly the internal source. So, the particular solution for radiative transfer equation is not required. Available exact values for albedos give exact values of radiation heat flux. Padé approximant technique is used to obtain numerical values for homogenous media.  相似文献   

Strong ground motion attenuation in Aswan area, Egypt     

A. Deif  Azza Abed  Kamal Abdel-Rahman  Enayat Abdel Moneim 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2011,4(5-6):855-861

Recent and paleo seismicity indicate that moderate seismic activity is relatively large for Aswan area. This is a warning on the possibility of occurrence of earthquakes in the future too. No strong motion records are available in Aswan area for engineers to rely upon. Consequently, the seismological modeling is an alternative approach till sufficient instrumental records around Aswan become available. In the present study, we have developed new ground motion attenuation relationship for events spanning 4.0?≤? M _w?≤?7.0 and distance to the surface projection of the fault up to 100 km for Aswan based on a statistically simulated seismological model. We generated suites of ground motion time histories using stochastic technique. The ground motion attenuation relation describes the dependence of the strength of the ground motions on the earthquake magnitude and distance from the earthquake. The proposed equation for peak ground acceleration (PGA) for the bed rock is in the form of: $ {\mathbf{log}}{\text{ }}\left( {{\mathbf{PGA}}/{\mathbf{gal}}} \right){\text{ }} = {\mathbf{1}}.{\mathbf{24}} + {\mathbf{0}}.{\mathbf{358}}{M_{\mathbf{w}}} - {\text{ }}{\mathbf{log}}\left( {\mathbf{R}} \right){\text{ }}-{\text{ }}{\mathbf{0}}.{\mathbf{008}}{\text{ }}{\mathbf{R}}{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}{\mathbf{0}}.{\mathbf{22}}{\text{ }}{\mathbf{P}} $ . Where PGA is the peak ground acceleration in gal (cm/s²); M_w, its moment magnitude; R is the closest distance between the rupture projection and the site of interest; and the factor P is a dummy variable. It is observed that attenuation of strong motion in Aswan is correlated with those used before in Egypt.  相似文献   

Radiation transfer in a diffuse and specular reflecting slab with Rayleigh scattering     

M. S. Abdel Krim  E. M. Abulwafa  S. M. Shouman 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1992,189(2):279-287

A method of analysis is presented for solving the radiative transfer problem in an absorbing, emitting, inhomogeneous, and anisotropically scattering plane-parallel medium with specular and diffuse reflecting boundaries and internal source (problem 1). Exact relations for the radiation heat flux at the boundaries of problem 1 are obtained in terms of the radiation density and albedos of the corresponding source-free medium with specular reflecting boundaries (problem 2). Two coupled integral equations for the radiation density and the second moment of the radiation intensity for problem 2 with Rayleigh phase functions are obtained. The Galerkin method is used to solve these equations. Albedos of problem 2 are compared with theF _n method. Numerical results for radiation heat fluxes at the boundaries of problem 1 are tabulated for different forms of the internal source.  相似文献

The equation of radiative transfer in an isotropically scattering slab subject to general boundary conditions is solved. The Padé approximation technique is used to calculate the reflected and transmitted angular distributions. Numerical results for angular distributions through and at the boundaries of a finite slab are calculated by the Padé approximation technique. The results for a Padé approximation of [0/1] are compared with results obtained by the Galerkin method.  相似文献

We expand both parts, the principal and indirect, of the Hamiltonian function up to the third order in the masses for the four major planets Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune. Accordingly we write down the secular terms ofF ₁,F ₂,F ₃ and the critical terms ofF ₁,F ₂ in terms of the canonical variables of H.

Energy albedo for multiregion slabs     

E. A. Saad  M. A. El Gazzar  M. S. Abdel Krim  S. A. El Wakil 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1984,107(1):11-18

An asymptotic solution for the equation of radiative transfer in an inhomogeneous medium was obtained on the basis of the corresponding solutions for homogeneous sub-layers in the slowing down region. Function relations between the reflection and transmission coefficients for the whole slab and those of the sublayers are given. The invariant embedding concepts are used to get the reflection and transmission coefficients for the sub-layers. We assumed different models for the slowing-down kernels. Laplace transform was used to transform the Boltzmann equation to one velocity approximation with re-scaled mean-free path and single-scattering albedo. Numerical results are given for energy albedo as a function of the mass number of the host medium.  相似文献
