Abstract EN

Water scarcity issues are critical to all Nations and always been discussed at the highest levels of dialogue in organizations and governmental and international bodies.

Saving water constitutes the centerpiece of most contemporary societies, given the increasing in population and scarcity of water year after year, in addition to climate change such as drought and desertification and increasing environmental pollution.

All of this may lead in the future to war.

Water resources has become one of the biggest challenges for future plans of the world in general and Arab region in particular.

Although the volume of water on earth is estimated at about 1.5 billion km3, but most of it (97%) is salt water found in oceans, seas and lakes .

Only 3% fresh water is distributed in a manner not in conformity with the requirements of our needs.

This study aims to use environmental and radioactive isotope technology to identify sources of groundwater wells and also use modern mathematical models to determine the ages of these sources.

All of this leads us to develop a complete and integrated system to keep the sources from depletion or pollution and develop optimal strategies for water system in desert and semi-desert States.
