		The stages and the temporal variations (1967-2002) in the areal extent of the lakes under investigation were extracted from CORONA, Landsat TM, and DTED data and from recorded (1967-2000) surface water levels for Lake Nasser.
		The topography of the area now covered by water in Lake Nasser was estimated from (1) the areal extent of Lake Nasser in 1967 (CORONA) and 1972 (MSS), (2) DTED acquired in 1989, and (3) historic lake levels.
		The trend of decreasing recharge is consistent with the gradual reduction of hydraulic gradient between the lake stage and the groundwater level in the Nubian aquifer.
