Structural depocenters control the Nubian sandstone aquifer, Southwestern Desert, Egypt: inferences from aeromagnetic data

For the purpose of land use and developmental planning in southern Egypt, the region located northwest of Toshka area was selected for aeromagnetic investigation to define the basement structures that affect the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer. Herein, the total intensity aeromagnetic data are analyzed in detail using reduction to the pole (RTP), Butterworth filter, balanced horizontal gradient, and Euler deconvolution. Parallel faults oriented mainly...
