Abstract The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer (NSSA) has provided the majority of the water for Egypt's western desert. The excessive groundwater withdrawal from this aquifer causes a decline in groundwater levels and quality degradation for the groundwater. In order to provide preliminary data for the management of the NSSA in the investigated area, the groundwater quality were evaluated utilizing a variety of techniques and geochemical mechanisms. Sixty-five groundwater wells were gathered for this, and 12 physicochemical parameters were examined using conventional analytical techniques. According to data on groundwater quality, NaHCO3, NaSO4, and NaCl were the three most prevalent water types. Additionally, abnormal iron element concentrations were found in some groundwater samples, which produced brown slime that accumulates on well screens, and relatively high salinity contents were also noted.
