	Wadi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wadis tend to be associated with centers of human population because of the availability of sub-surface water.
		In English the term "Wadi" is sometimes used interchangeably with "oasis", which is correct linguistically, although many geographers and cartographers consider it an inaccurate usage.
		Crossing wide wadis at certain times of the year can be very dangerous, because of unexpected flash floods.

		Wadi Allaqi is the largest of the desert wadi systems draining the eastern desert of Egypt.
		Research into the soil, water and vegetation resources of Wadi Allaqi, and the responses of the local Bedouin population to these resource opportunities were used to study the suitability of the Lake Nasser shorelands for managed and sustainable agricultural development.
		With this in mind, coupled with the as yet unknown long-term sustainability of the wadi's soils, and the still unpredictable movements of both surface and underground water, it was concluded investments and development in cultivation agriculture should be introduced with the maximum of care.

		Wadi Allaqi is the most extensive drainage system in the Nubian desert and lies at an important geological boundary of two main geological formations: basement complex on south-east and Nubia sand stone on north-west.
		The upstream tributaries of the wadi drain some of the granite mountains that form a natural divide between the Eastern Desert and the Red Sea coast.
		About 80 km of the downstream part of Wadi Allaqi was inundated and remained under water for several years.

		From structural studies of the area around the intersection of Wadi Allaqi and Wadi Murra, Taylor and El Kazzaz (1993) concluded that this part of the Allaqi-Heiani suture is a fold and thrust belt marked by early SW-verging folds and thrusts and late E-W trending folds.
		The occurrence of dismembered ophiolitic assemblage of Wadi Ghadir in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt (El-Baiumy and Greiling, 1987) led Greiling et al.
		Abdelsalam and Stern (1996) figured out that the Allaqi deformation zone was a suture because it qualified as: (1) it is associated with zones of high-strain; (2) fragments of ophiolite rocks occur within these high-strain zones; (3) this belt separates arc terranes with different pre-suturing history.

		The indigenous desert trees, Acacia spp (A. tortilis, A. raddina, A. ehrenbergiana and Balanites aegyptiaca), are the most common and important fodder plants in Wadi Allaqi.
		Tamarix nilotica is also an importanat pasture plant that provides permanent fodder; it grows in previously inundated parts of the downstream Wadi Allaqi.
		Observations in Wadi Allaqi shows that under sufficient water supply and protection from grazing the trees can reach a mature stage and height of seven meters in less than 10 years, while in natural conditions it can take approximately 50 years (Springuel and Mekki, 1994).
