The surveyed results suggest well resolved geological layers such as alluvial mudflat, basalt layers and their sa- turation states. In addition a hydrogeophysical cross section along the studied sites was con- structed which permits to locate the lateral variations in rock properties due to water saturation and or facies changes. The saturated thickness of the Upper Aquifer System in the study area was found to be changed from 5 m near TEM 1 to about 120 m near TEM 4 in thickness. The Abed Ba- salt Aquifer (AOB) has an average saturation thickness of about ~60 m, and forming the main aquifer (~100 m thickness) near surface to the north of the study area. TEM-3 and TEM-4 sites were found to be potential sites for groundwater artificial recharge based on the constructed hy- dro-geophysical model. This study recommends implementing detailed geophysical investigations particularly in the most northern parts of the study area.
