Potential sources of present-day recharge to the
Saq-Ram Sandstones include:
Runoff from the Basement in the south-
west directly passing over outcrops of the
permeable sandstones.
Infiltration of runoff through wadi beds.
Infiltration of rain falling directly on the
sandstones, sand dunes or through
overlying soils.
Infiltration of excess irrigation water (locally,
mainly in outcrop areas).
