In terms of the importance of implementing integrated water resources managementin Egypt the objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of induced lake bank filtration in Toshka, Egypt. Based on literature research and field investigations a groundwater flow model was set up using Modflow/GMS.Variouswater extraction scenarios were analyzed for its effects on groundwater levels and water balance. The results highlight that extracted discharges are lower than safe yield, which might impose insignificant impact on groundwater level. The results indicate that the safe yield in the Toshkaarea is 115.845 m3/s.Five scenarios for groundwater extraction from the study areawere evaluated.Results of simulations show the abstraction rates for scenarios 1 – 4 with of about 2.973333, 3.123333, 3.1483333 and 3.273333 m3/s, respectively, the resulting decrease in groundwater levels in the study area was found to be less than 32.6 m during the drought period.
