تعدين الملح في ملاحات بحيرة البردويل بمحافظة شمال سيناء: دراسة في الجغرافية الاقتصادية

Abstract EN

The Bardawil lake area has ingredients of producing salt by solar evaporation, however, its shores are not well exploited for extraction, but its production has decreased in recent years, the lake contains 11 navigations on its sides with an area of 53.05 km2.

the production is quality and purity for its distance from sources of pollution.

it is the largest and most productive Sebeka navigation and the least productive alWahlia navigation.

the annual average production reached 1074.6 thousand tons, contributing about a quarter of Egypt's salt production, taking the second ranking after the navigation of alMks.

and there is a positive correlation between the amount of salt production from the navigators of lake Bardawil, water salinity and heat and areas of navigation.

about two thirds of the production goes to the governorates and the rest is exported to the countries of the region.

the annual revenue and net return from year to year which reaches 71.2%.

the salt mining sector in north Sinai contributes to the creation of employment opportunities, and is faced with many problems that can be encountered, the study recommends increasing the period of licenses, reducing fees, manufacturing production and preserving the lake from environmental degradation and encouraging the establishment of new navigators.
