A semi-automated approach for mapping geomorphology of El Bardawil Lake, Northern Sinai, Egypt, using integrated remote sensing and GIS techniques by Nabil Sayed Embabi, Moawad Badawy Moawad

“…The approach used in this study could be widely applied to study the low-lying coastal lands along the Nile Delta. However, it is concluded from geological data and geomorphologic aspects that Bardawil Lake is of a tectonic origin; it was much deeper than it is currently, and has been filled with sediments mostly since the Flandrian transgression (∼8–6 ka bp).…”

التقييم الجيومورفولوجي لمنطقة بحيرة الدقهلية المطمورة وتأثيرها على التربة by أحمد إبراهيم صابر

“…Abstract The Dembedded Dakahliya Lake is a part from Manzala Lake located in the low-lying area northeast of the Nile Delta and the lake was separated due to the geomorphological changes in the area, especially the ancient Nile branches, which isolated Dakahliya Lake from Lake Manzala, and the Dakahliya Lake became outside the region and its conditions were changed and acquired qualities that make them different from neighboring areas, especially the spread and diversity of geomorphological phenomena, but human intervention through the process of dying and settlement and the acquisition of additional areas suitable for agriculture led to several changes that have been eliminated, and the blurring of many geomorphology of the Dembedded Dakahliya Lake area, which can be used to identify the factors and processes that led to the spread of many geomorphological phenomena, and their effect on soil characterisitics, whether natural or chemical, and thus their productive capacity.…”
