“…-Sawy et al,(2015) studied the chemical properties of Bahr Hadus Drain water to evaluate the water quality. The pH ,EC ,SAR , Cd ,Ni and Pb values were (7.92), (1.59 dS.m -1 ), (5.45 mg.L -1 ) ,(0.012 mg.L -1 ) , (0.037 mg.L -1 ) and ( 0.616 mg.L -1 ), respectively , whereas, Shaban (2017) found that BOD values were (106 mg.L -1 ) on Bahr Hadus drain within the maximum limits for water irrigation according to Egyptian Law No.48 ( 1982) El-Samet (2013) carried out a study on Meraga drain located in EL-Gamalia district, Dakahlia Governorate to evaluate drainage water quality. Water samples were seasonally collected from 6 sites along this drain.…”

Fresh water resources are limited to meet annual needs of irrigation water for agricultural production in Egypt. So drains water can be used to recover this gab and quality of this water should be studied before using it. Dakahlia Governorate is located in the northeastern of the Nile Delta. It is located near the ends of canals and agricultural drains. These agricultural drains carrying sewage and industrial waste waters (treated and untreated) .The drains water normally used to irrigate some lands near the ends of the irrigation canals. In this study, three agricultural drains were selected taking in consideration its water are used to irrigate farm land. The selected drains are drain No.1, drain No.2 and EL-Mansoura Al-Mustajad drain. Water quality of these drains were studied during winter and summer seasons of 2014. 14 water samples were taken during this period in order to evaluate water quality for irrigation. The obtained results indicated that pH values were within the permissible limits for irrigation even they were higher in winter than in summer season. While EC and , SAR values were slight to moderate. NO3-N values were slight to moderate in all water samples except for water samples (No. 6 and 7) in EL-Mansoura Al-Mustajad drain. NH4-N values for all samples were in the accepted range according to FAO (1985) except for sample No. 7 at the end of EL-Mansoura Al-Mustajad drain which were sever according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) standards. The results indicated also that COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) levels were within the maximum limits for water irrigation except COD values of water samples No. 1 in summer and No. 3 in winter and summer. The BOD values were in the same trend for water irrigation according to Egyptian and U.S.EPA (2004) (United States Environmental Protection Agency) standards. In general, the values were higher in winter than in summer season. The heavy metals values in summer season were higher than in winter one. Mostly , the heavy metals content of the drains was arranged in the following descending order: Ni> Pb> Cd according to NAS/NAE, (1972) (National Academy of Sciences / National Academy of Engineering) and FAO (1985). The results indicated that heavy metals contents were within the permissible limits for irrigation in most sites for lead (Pb) except for water samples No. 7, they were in the maximum limits (more than 5 ppm), While cadmium and nickel values were within the maximum limits for irrigation in water samples except water samples (No. 1 and 3 in winter and summer and No. 5 in winter). The obtained data showed that Ni values were within the maximum limits for irrigation except water samples (No. 1 , 3 and 5 in winter and summer) . In general, the EC ,SAR, NO3 -N , NH4-N , COD , BOD , heavy metals (Pb, Ni and Cd) values at the beginning of the drains were lower than at the end of the drains in the studied area in the three drains . The evaluation of drains are ranged from slightly to moderately suitable for all stu...

“…Most of this load comes from agricultural sources, and some from minor sources like domestic and industrial sewage [9]. Nowadays Bahr El-Baqar drain started to receive the biggest amount of wastewater (about 3 BCM every year), while Bahr Hadus receives a wastewater load of about 1.75 BCM every year [10].…”

In Egypt, the Water Quality of fresh waterways, especially those receiving the wastewater from agricultural drainage such as El-Salam Canal is every, now, and then, precarious for some water use. Although, Egypt relies on this marginal water quality in order to cover the resulting gap between water needs and supply. The reuse of drainage water appears to be one of the most promising, practical, and economical means of increasing the Egyptian water budget in which the Government of Egypt has been looking for. The use of mathematical models for the quality assessments of waterways can be considered as one of the effective and practical assessment tools. This paper simulates the self-purification controlling of the water quality of Bahr Hadus Drain (BHD) using QUAL2K water quality model. The three-step approach, on Bahr Hadus Drain, was simulated with proposed hydraulic structures (I.e., weirs) at certain locations. Three different weir types were investigated with fixed height at the proposed locations. Then the best weir type from the first step was selected for simulation of the second step at a specified location and, investigated for the impact of the weir height on the water quality. It is concluded that there is a correlation between water depth and weir height on water velocity and improvement of dissolved oxygen. In the third step, logarithmic regression models have been developed describing this relationship.

The research investigation phases are presented, as follows: Literature review in the field of water quality  Water sampling and data assembly  NWQIS and visualizing information  Producing thematic maps  Conclusions and recommendations LITERATURE REVIEWLiterature in the field of water quality was reviewed, from which it was clear that many researchers investigated the water quality. Among them, for example are, as follows: Sanders (1998) stated that the water quality is a limiting factor for being used in different purposes.  Lu, Zhi Chen and Wenquan Liu (2014) developed a GIS-eutrophication assessment module and a graphical user interface (GUI). It integrates fuzzy risk calculation and heavy metal risk evaluation. It presents the results as color-coded maps indicating risk levels.
