Hydrogeology Of The Levant

Faulting and Transmissivity Anisotropy
Major fault systems, particularly those bounding the DSRS, act as hydraulic conduits, channeling flow through otherwise low-permeability carbonate sequences. The Judean Mountains, for instance, exhibit karstification facilitated by deep-seated faults that penetrate the Lower Cretaceous' Kurnub Sandstone group. A pec… -

The Kurnub Sandstone Aquifer
Representing the base of the main freshwater sequence, the Kurnub Sandstone (Lower Cretaceous) is crucial, especially in Jordan and Southern Israel. Its primary hydrological limitation is its reliance on infiltration through overlying fractured carbonates. Recharge rates are notoriously slow, often delayed by several years, a phenomenon k… -

Hydrology and Porosity
The porosity and permeability of sandstone dictate its utility as an aquifer or reservoir rock. In arid and semi-arid regions, the hydraulic behavior of siliciclastic sandstone units is crucial for regional water resource management. For instance, the Kurnub Sandstone in the Levant exhibits highly variable yields ($\text{m}^3/\text{day}$) dependent on recharge mechanisms, often correlated with the dissolution products of underlying [evaporite sequences](/ent…
