Utilizing potential field data to support delineation of groundwater aquifers in the southern Red Sea coast, Saudi Arabia

magnetic gravity groundwater Saudi Arabia

In this paper potential field data are interpreted to map the undulation of the basement surface,
which represents the bottom of the water bearing zones, and to delineate the tectonic
framework that controls the groundwater flow and accumulation in the southern Red Sea
coastal area of Saudi Arabia. The interpretation reveals that the dominant structural trend is a
NW (Red Sea) trend that resulted in a series of faulted tilted blocks. These tilted blocks are
dissected by another cross-cut NE trend which shapes and forms a series of fault-bounded
small basins. These basins and the bounded structural trends control and shape the flow
direction of the groundwater in the study area, i.e. they act as groundwater conduits.
Furthermore, the present results indicate that volcanic intrusions are present as subsurface
flows, which hinder the groundwater exploration and drilling activities in most of the area; in
some localities these volcanic flows crop out at the surface and cover the groundwater bearing
formations. Furthermore, the gravity and magnetic data interpretation indicates the possible
existence of a large structural basin occupying the southeastern side of the study area. This
basin is bounded with NW and NE trending faults and is expected to be a good host for
groundwater aquifers; thus it is a promising site for hydrogeological investigation.

The 2009 earthquake-swarm in the Al-Ays volcanic zone in Harrat-Lunayyir in
NW Saudi-Arabia is unique because of its intense character and focal-depth
