Abstract: Beel Kapalia is basically a marsh land or natural depression which lies in Monirampur upazila under Jessore district to the direction of south eastern from Dhaka. Mitigation of water-logging problem getting suspended sediment deposit gradually under a simulated manner is the driving mechanism for adapting Tidal River Management (TRM) project in the vicinity of the area. Besides, annual rainfall to the respective catchment area resulting flooding problem may be alleviated under proper disaster management program via introducing TRM as a selective approach. But, a lot of disputes and social movement have been arrived considering the demerits of TRM project including destruction of shrimp culture, which could be conducted by channelling the tidal water to marsh land, wetland ecosystem adversity, and assortment of an approximately 750 hectors marsh land and so on. This paper mainly focuses on the feasibility analysis of TRM project influencing to the local community. The field data is being collecting by pursuing social survey as questionnaire method to reveal the inherent perspective of the local people in this regard. Result show that about half of the people have been putting a negative attitude and rest of the sample having a mixed judgments regarding TRM project installation on the respective area. This paper provides an overview regarding the significant implication in an effort to introduce TRM project development in area studied and the finding could be helpful to pursue TRM project analysis in other area to be studied.

Abstract: Pliocene aquifer is the main source of water in the study area (Wadi El Natroun area), Western desert, Egypt. Area of the study was divided into three sectors (South, Centre and North). There is a deterioration of quality and increase salinity in water, salinity ranges between 300and 6822 mg\l. The target of this study explaining and clarify the evolution mechanism of water in the Pliocene aquifer through three former sectors to understand the mechanism of the hydrochemical processes by applying hydrogeochemical – environmental program (Netpath Program) which performed for three groundwater paths (A-A\), (B-B\) and (C-C\) sector and it used to explain net geochemical mass-balance reactions which occurs between initial and final water point. The study showed that the process of dissolution of chlorides and sulphate salts ( halite, gypsum and anhydrite) are the most common effected process, in contrast, deposition of carbonate salts and bicarbonate in the three sectors in area of the study, there is a significant effect of continuous cationic exchange between water and surrounding rocks leading to deterioration of water types and increasing salinity in the direction of water flow from East to West, also water quality change from bicarbonate water type in the east (initial points) to sulphate and chlorides water type in the west direction (final points) and these process represent late stage of mineralization.
