“…This indicates the true fact, and the source of pollution at Lake Qarun was the drains, which discharge the drainage water (waste water, agriculture waste). The effects of drains at water quality were findings agreed with those previously reported by Fujioka et al, (1981) and Sabae, (1999).…”

“…The bacteriological quality of water was usually controlled by certain parameters like bacterial density in terms of plate count at 22 o C and 37 o C as well as coliforms as indicator of fecal pollution. In addition to the use of fecal streptococci as a parameter for judgment of water pollution tended to give confirmatory information for the quality of water intended for civic use (Sabae, 1999).…”

Water quality index Microbial assessment EgyptThis study was carried out on Lake Qarun and 2 drains (El-Batts and El-Wadi) that discharging wastewater into it, at Fayoum Province, Egypt, to assess the Water Quality Index (WQI) and miicrobial load of their waters. This investigation was conducted during the period from autumn 2017 to summer 2018. The general annual averages of WQI values of Lake Water were poor for irrigation (69.61) and very poor for aquatic life (78.53). El-Batts and El-Wadi Drains were poor both for irrigation (55.45) and for aquatic life (54.45). Moreover, total viable bacteria count (TVBC) at 22°C ranged between 3 ×10 3 CFU/ml and 450 × 10 3 CFU/ml, and the TVBC at 37°C varied from 0.4 ×10 3 CFU/ml to 330 ×10 3 CFU/ml . Total coliform (TC) in the range of 0.3 ×10 3 -46 × 10 3 MPN /100ml water , Fecal coliform (FC) in the range of 3×10 2 -460× 10 2 MPN /100ml water . Fecal streptococci (FS) in the range of 3 × 10 2 -1100 × 10 2 MPN/ 100ml water and the numbers of E.coli fluctuated between 0.1×10 2 and 60 × 10 2 CFU /100ml water. The obtained values of physical, chemical and microbial parameters of Lake and drains water were compared with the standard values set by FAO (1994) for irrigation and CCME (2007) for aquatic life. It was found that the values of tested parameters were higher than the recommended standards and this affects the biota in the studied area and is expected to cause healthy problems.

“…In the same manner, Nitrate recorded its maximum values during winter (6.90 mg/l) and the minimum values during summer (0.03 mg/l) ( Table 9), which might be attributed to the uptake of nitrate by natural phytoplankton as well as the effect of denitrifying bacteria (Saad and Abdel-Moati, 1997;Sabae and AbdelSatar, 2001). On the other hand, it was noticeable that station 6 was higher than all the other stations during winter (13.76 mg/l), which is mainly attributed to the effluents discharge of petroleum companies at this area (Abdo,1998;Sabae et al, 2006 and. Regarding orthophosphate, as the main reason for eutrophication, the minimal average value (0.04 mg/l) was recorded at station 1, while the maximal average value was (0.61 mg/l) at station 9 with the highest value at station 9 during (Table 10).…”

This study was conducted to monitor the adverse effect of the drainage wastewater of three main factories on the macroinvertebrates biodiversity of Ismailia Canal. Water and benthos samples were collected seasonally during 2010 from 10 stations along Ismailia Canal from El-Mezalat to Abu Zaabal city.The results revealed that most of the physico-chemical parameters were within the permissible limits, although, Cairo Power station and Abu Zaabal factory are causing partial pollution. The community of macrobenthic invertebrates was represented by Mollusca (35.20 %), Annelida (33.62 %) and Arthropoda (31.18 %). Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Chironomus larvae were dominating the whole studied area (32% and 28.51% of total macrobenthos, respectively) and they are considered to be potential bioindicators for polluted ecosystem. Low species diversity and occurrence of pollution-tolerant species (e.g. Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Chironomus larvae) indicate that the water quality of the canal is deteriorated. A regular program for biomonitoring is recommended which will allow future changes and enhancing in this important ecosystem.
