Key Basin Project Results
1. A cost-effective, replicable, integrated technique for the assessment of alternative renewable groundwater resources in arid lands was developed.

2. Technology transfer, cooperation, and attention were all increased and improved for the Eastern Desert and for similar areas.

3. The project results are now being used routinely by the two main institutions engaged in the assessment and development of groundwater resources in Egypt: the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, and the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University.
