Table 2 Hydrogeological interpreted from groundwater borehole data in Al Jaww Plain
Hydrogeologic unit | Relative permeability (lithology) | Average aquifer thickness (m) | Aquifer type |
|---|---|---|---|
Quaternary Alluvium | High-permeability (unconsolidated gravel and sand deposits) | 25 | Unconfined surficial system |
Pliocene post-Fars Formation | Moderate permeability (gravel, silt, and calcareous sandstone) | 110 | Confined surficial system |
Miocene Upper Fars Formation | Moderate permeability (mudstones and marls with limestone) | 200 | Confined surficial system |
Miocene Lower Fars Formation | Low permeability (interbedded shales, mudstones, and evaporites) | > 200 | Basal confining system |
