Study of the Quality of Irrigation Water in South-East El-Kantara Canal, North Sinai, Egypt

Abstract: Abstract-The study examines the irrigation water quality for North Sinai Development Project (NSDP). The water resources investigated are agriculture wastewater mixed with Nile freshwater in a ratio of 1:1. This study focuses on the quality of irrigation water used in the reclamation and cultivation of 75,000 acres of the South-East EL-Kantra Canal lies in the NSDP. Six monitoring locations along the canal path were chosen for examination. Water samples were collected every month during the period from Dec. 20… Show more

“…It is clear from the present study that, an increase in photosynthetic activity of algal population results in an increased pH value which is conceded with the result of Deyab (1987). Similarly, Gabr and El-Zahar (2018) showed the annual average of pH was that all water samples' mean value is 7.78 in (the values ranged from 7.38 to 8.13). Also, it is similar to the finding of Elkorashey (2012) who mentioned that the pH values in Al-Salam Canal range between 7.35and 8.20 which fall within the permissible limits according to the Egyptian Standard Law of Environment 48/1982.…”

“…The NH4 + -N concentration of this study was lower than that in other rivers and canals [26,40,41]. Domestic, agricultural and industrial wastewater are sources generation of NH4 + -N [6,31,[40][41][42][43][44]. Especially the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture activities [26,42,43].…”

“…Domestic, agricultural and industrial wastewater are sources generation of NH4 + -N [6,31,[40][41][42][43][44]. Especially the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture activities [26,42,43]. The seasonal variation of NO3 − -N over the years (0.03±0.01~1.54±0.29 mg/L) and over locations (0.11±0.09~0.56±0.87 mg/L) still within the allowable limit of QCVN 03-MT:2015/BTNMT (2 mg/L) (Fig.…”

“…The main consumer of fresh water is agriculture, which accounts for 60% of crop production and 80% of the cultivated area in the world (FAO, 2021a). This circumstance forced developing countries, including Egypt (Eltarabily, 2022), to recycle drainage water for irrigation reuse, specifically for newly reclaimed land agriculture projects (Eltarabily & Moghazy, 2021;Gabr, 2020Gabr, , 2018aGabr & Elzahar, 2018). The long-term reuse of drainage water leads to deterioration of the water quality, which increases soil salinity (Gabr, 2018b(Gabr, , 2019.…”
