    <p>Djibouti is located at the northeast end of the African Continent. Rivers are not formed normally in this country due to the extremely low amount of rainfall (c.a. 150 mm annually) and rain falls irregularly in a short time. Consequently, deep groundwater in the volcanic aquifer has been thought to be the only available resource of fresh water in most of the region of the country. As it is difficult for the habitants to grow crops due to the extremely arid condition, nomads occupy over 30% of the national population. The nomads are strongly dependent on fresh water from groundwater and some advanced farmers have started to use groundwater for growing cash crops in rural area of this country. Although some research have been conducted to find out the depth, quality and age of groundwater, the data is not still enough to construct a scheme of agricultural development using groundwater in larger area of Djibouti. Then in this study, the purposes are firstly to estimate the original recharged area of deep groundwater of this country, using stable isotope analysis (δD, δ<sup>18</sup>O), and secondary to calculate the age of groundwater, using radioactive isotope analysis (<sup>3</sup>H, <sup>14</sup>C). We have collected groundwater samples from 16 wells in 4 area (Djibouti City, Arta, Ali-Sabieh, and Dikihil) in 2019. This report shows the results obtained so far. The results on EC indicated higher than 0.8 mScm-1 for all the samples. According to the clustering analysis based on the ionic constructions, the samples collected from 2 areas (Djibouti City and Arta area) were classified into the Na-Cl type and the other two (Ari-Sabieh area and Dikihil area) into the Na-HCO<sub>3</sub> type. The results on δD and δ<sup>18</sup>O showed a possibility that there are multiple recharge areas of the groundwater. The concentration of 3H on the 6 samples was very low (under 0.3 T. U.), indicating that the age of the groundwater samples was older than 70 years.</p>

    <p>In Djibouti, as the amount of the fresh water is not large enough, deeper groundwater recharged in the volcanic aquifer has been developed and it is considered to be a new source of fresh water in most of the region of the country. Although some studies have been conducted to find out the volume, depth, quality and age of groundwater, the data is not still enough to construct a scheme of agricultural development using the deeper groundwater in large area of Djibouti. Therefore, the first purpose of this study is to estimate the original recharged area of the deeper groundwater of this country, using stable isotope (δD and δ<sup>18</sup>O) analysis, and secondary to calculate the age of groundwater, using radioactive isotope (<sup>3</sup>H and <sup>14</sup>C) analysis. We have collected groundwater samples from 16 wells in 4 districts (Djibouti City, Arta, Ali-Sabieh, and Dikihil) in 2019. The results on δD and δ<sup>18</sup>O showed a possibility that the recharge areas were not simple in the complicated geological condition with lots of various faults even the location of wells is close. The concentration of <sup>3</sup>H on the 6 samples was very low (under 0.3 T. U.), indicating that the age of the groundwater samples was older than 70 years.</p>

    <p>The water resource utilized for social activities in Djibouti is almost exclusively groundwater which is abstracted by shallow wells from the porous sediments in wadis with estimated thickness of several meters to around 20 meters, and by deeper wells from the fractured zone of basaltic base rock. Because of small annual precipitation and high geological ambiguity associated with wadis and fractures, to find out new good groundwater locations is not an easy task in Djibouti.</p><p>In this project, utilizing collected various field data, we try to construct numerical hydrologic models for estimating groundwater movement through wadis and fractures. A terrestrial fluid flow simulator GETFLOWS is used for this purpose, in which surface/subsurface coupled flows under precipitation/evapotranspiration are dealt. It might be able to reproduce and visualize occasional flooding through wadis at rainfalls, infiltration into the wadi sediments, and flow/retention of groundwater in wadi networks.</p><p>For the first modeling site, we deal Ali Faren catchment, a small part of large Ambouli watershed which spreads in the south-west of Djibouti City.</p><p>Using the satellite image of Google Earth and high-resolution DSM (AW3D supplied by RESTEC), the target area including wadi networks and base rock surface were discretized three-dimensionally into around 35,000 horizontally and 15 vertically, with corner-pointed structured grid system.</p><p>In the symposium, we will present the modeling procedures, settings of geological conditions and hydraulic parameters, and results of simulation including model equilibration, calibration and prospecting case studies.</p>

    <p>Due to small annual rainfall and high temperature, the water resource utilized for social activities in Djibouti is almost exclusively groundwater. Groundwater is collected through shallow wells in the porous sediments of the wadis with estimated thickness of several meters to about 20 meters, and through deeper wells in the fractured zone of the basaltic base rock. The network of wadis on the surface can be recognized by satellite imagery relatively clearly, but high geological ambiguity associated with the wadis and fractures, finding new good groundwater locations is not an easy task in Djibouti. In this study, using various field data collected, we have attempted to explore groundwater potential employing numerical hydrological model together with various field survey technologies. This paper introduces the first stage trials of numerical modeling using a terrestrial fluid flow simulator GETFLOWS, in which surface/subsurface coupled flows under precipitation/evapotranspiration are treated. For the target site, we selected the Ali Faren catchment, a part of large Ambouli watershed that extends southwest of Djibouti City. The Ali Faren catchment was discretized into a three dimensional model, reflecting the shape of wadi networks and basaltic surface. Giving initial estimates of hydrogeological parameters, several trial equilibrations/calibrations were made in order to check consistency between the hydrogeological setting and the calculated subsurface water condition. Using actual records of rainfall, the model showed occasional flush floods through the wadis and infiltration at relatively heavy rainfall.</p>

  • A role of a herbivorous crab, <i>Neosarmatium smithi</i>, in dissolved iron elution from mangrove ecosystems

    <p>Iron solubilization in mangrove soils associated with polyphenols leached out from leaf-litter can improve iron bioavailability. In this context, the leaf-removing process by mangrove crabs would increase reacting frequency of the polyphenols in mangrove leaves with iron in the soils. In this study, we investigated ecological roles of a leaf-removing crab, <i>Neosarmatium smithi</i>, on the iron solubilization process. After the fallen leaves carried by the crabs to their burrows and eaten by them, polyphenols may be remained in their feces. If so, contact of polyphenols in the feces with mangrove soils could promote elution of dissolved iron from the soils. In order to demonstrate this hypothesis, we firstly surveyed the appearance ratio of the black part in crab burrows and measured total phenolic content in feces of <i>N. smithi</i> as well as in the black part soil. Then, we examined influences of the crab feces on dissolved iron elution from mangrove soils. As the results, the appearance ratio of the black part in the burrow was 67% and the phenolic content in the feces, the black part, and the yellow part in crab burrows were 9.93, 0.49, and 0.12mg g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Dissolved iron content in the solution (soil+water extract from feces) was 0.65μg g<sup>-1</sup> and this content was 4.5 times higher than the control (soil+distilled water). We suggest that the polyphenols remained in the feces affect to solubilize insoluble forms of iron by iron reduction and chelating properties.</p>
