Summary "The recent delineation of the Darfur Megalake in the war-torn Darfur region in NW Sudan has renewed hopes for the presence of groundwater resources in this hyperarid region of Eastern Sahara. This closed-basin paleolake might have allowed for the collection of surface water during the Holocene wetter period. Subsequently, surface water infiltrated to recharge the Paleozoic-Mesozoic Nubian aquifer. However, surface exposures of Precambrian crystalline basement rocks in the vicinity of the paleolake have been taken to indicate the absence of a thick Paleozoic-Mesozoic section capable of holding any meaningful quantity of groundwater. This work integrates remote sensing, surface geology, and gravity data to show that the Darfur Megalake is underlain by N-and NE-trending grabens"--Abstract, leaf iii.
