630 is distinguished between the pediment and the mountain front (Foot of the high plateau), wh ile no break with the coastal plain. The pediment plain is highly deformed. It is affected by faulting and folding trends in the gulf region. 3.3. The basement high plateau It occupies the area of the Precambrian shei- ld in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. It posses ses highly steep elevated land with an eleva tion reaches the maximum of about 1751m above the mean sea level. It is built of series of high mountains of basement rocks. Among these are, from north to south; Gebel Abu-Khashaba (+1461 m), G. Gharib (+1751 m), G. Riseis (+949 m), and G. Ghuweirb (+1359 m). It represents the topest part where the wa ter divide is delineated and th upstreams of all drainage basins are occured. It merges to east with the pediment plateau but with a bre ak in slope. It is highly affected by the regional trends of faulting and folding in the gulf of Suez region. The fault planes and fractures which represent weak planes, especially of NE-SW direction, have been turned into wide and de ep, vallies (maximum width reaches .2 Km). It receives an occassionaly heavy rainfalls during winter period (Korany, 1980) and shed ding them either to the coastal plain or to the Nile Valley. CONCLUSION The results obtained and discussed give rise to the following conclusion about the hydro geologic bearing of the landforms in the area of study : 1. The basement high plateau maintains the upstream part, while the coastal plain occup ies the downstream part. 2. The area is built,hydrographically, of nine drainage sub-basins, where all are issu ed from the high plateau to the west and she dding water almostly to the east. 3. The fault planes and fractures along the high plateau represent the wide and deep val lies and tributaries. They control also the trend and dimensions of the drainage patterns along the pediment and coastal plains. 4. The surface of both the coastal and ped iment plains is built principley of Middle Miocene facies and younger surficial deposit- s of high infiltration capacities. 5. The Rudeis Formation represents the ava ilable groundwater resource in the area. It is encountered at shallow depths and has gre- - at thickness and wider extention beneath the whole area west of the gulf of Suez. 6. The occassional heavy showers during wi nter period along the high plateau and slopes maintain the possible contribution to the gr oundwater in the Rudeis aquifer.lt causes pe ak floods through the dissected vallies and tributaries in the direction of both pediment and coastal plains. Part of the water infilt rates downward through the surficial deposits in the main channels and tributaries to cont ribute the groundwater in the Rudeis aquifer. 7. The structural deformation of the area west of the gulf of Suez plays the paramount role in the development of landforms and the ir hydrogeologic bearing. Certain units of landforms and drainage patterns are develope- d in the area which lead to certain hydrogeo logic characteristics. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Symposi The authors wish to express their gratitudes to the director of the Egyptian Geologic Sur vey and Mining Authority for the sincere help in providing the aerial photos and mosaics. Thanks are extended to head and staff of the Geology Department of AinShams University Cairo,Egypt for the kindly help and providing laboratory facilities. REFERENCES Abdine, A.S. 1981.
