New Groundwater Flow Model for Nubian Aquifer

Through the collaboration of all four Nubian countries, a series of modeling workshops, and the efforts of a technical team led by an internationally recognized modeling expert, a new and innovative numerical model has been constructed for the Nubian Aquifer.

The model builds on the earlier modeling efforts of Centre for Environment & Development for the Arab Region and Europe (CEDARE). The IAEA model features both the increased sophistication of treating the aquifer as a three-dimensional entity as well as several technical aspects which increase the ability of the model to be modified for future use, as more data become available. The model forms a basis on which shared data collection and decision making strategies can be devised across the four Nubian countries.
