“…Among 23 families recorded in the Lake during this study, seven families; Viviparidae, Planorbidae, Thiaridae, Physidae, Neritidae, Tubificidae and Chironomidae are used as bioindicators of pollution and used in the application of biotic indices. This results agree with Fishar et al (2015).…”

“…Table (2) A and B show the value for each score for the previous chemical parameters. The scoring groups have been selected on the basis of known levels in grossly polluted and clean sites from the literature (Armitage et al, 1983;Williams, 2008 andFishar et al, 2015). The NCPI scoring system means that a grossly polluted station could theoretically have a score of 50 and a pristine (very clean) stations a score of 7.…”

“…However, because Member States establish monitoring system for determining the values of the biological elements. According to the requirements of the Water Framework Directive, macroinvertebrate groups are largely used for evaluating quality of water (Zeybek et al, 2014, Lewin et al, 2013, Fishar et al, 2015, Abdel Gawad, 2019. Benthic macroinvertebrates reflect types of stream degradation as anthropogenic perturbation, acidification, organic pollution and etc (Mykra et al, 2012).…”

Lake Burullus is one of the most significant coastline lagoons in the Mediterranean basin. It is the second largest lake of the northern Egyptian lakes. It lies in the Nile Delta, between Longitude 30° 30-E and 31° 10-E and latitude 31° 21-N and 31° 35-N. The lake is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a narrow sandbar. The area of Burullus Lake is about 420 km 2 of which 370 km 2 is open water (Younes, 2012). On the other side, the lake area was 588 km 2 in 1956 while it was 462 km 2 in 1974 and this reduction is owing to projects of reclamation along the eastern and southern sides of the lake and processes of fish farming (Younes, 2012). Lake Burullus is linked to the sea through the Burullus inlet (width 250 m and depth 5 m) at its northeastern edge. The lake is very shallow, with a depth ranged from 40 cm and 200 cm (El-Zeiny & El-Kafrawy, 2017). Eight drains (Burullus, El Gharbia, Nasser, Baltim, and drains 7, 8, 9, and 11) and only one canal (Brimbal Canal) discharge agricultural drainage water into the lake (El Baz, 2015). Domestic wastes, industrial and agricultural discharges have increased the pollutants in the lake. The increasing pollution of water resources in Lake Burullus makes the lake under severe ARTICLE INFO

main source of drinking and irrigation waters for many cities. Nile Chemical Pollution Index (NCPI) was estimated to assess the quality of such waters. Water samples were collected from 6 locations along the canal in El-Minia and El-Fayoum Governorates. Seven chemical parameters were determined including dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia (NH 3 ), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate (NO 3 -) and ortho-phosphorus (PO 4 -3).Results indicated that all the tested parameters were within the permissible limits of both the Egyptian and WHO standards for drinking water and FAO standards for irrigation water. The NCPI records ranged from 13-19 indicating clean (less than 15) to slightly polluted (16-20) waters. Classification of water based on electrical conductivity illustrates that the canal water belongs to medium salinity class (C2). The total hardness concentrations were belonging to medium hard to hard category except one very hard category. The SAR estimates were excellent (S1), PI were class II category, RSC were safe/good to marginal/doubtful and Na% were good (20 -40) to permissible (40 -60), PS were classified as "excellent to good" (<5 meq/l) to "good to injurious" category (5-10 meq/l). In addition, the balance error % were less than the allowed error, KR were < 1.0. So, all the samples are acceptable, indicating their suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes.
