“…Urban sprawl and rapid LCLU changes in the Nile Delta have a negative impact on water irrigation quality by increasing the concentration of contaminants [103,104]. In addition, using agricultural drainage water for irrigation causes degradation to the most fertile soils [6,27,37]. The NDVI assists in the detection of cultivation changes and crop growth during the year, while variations in crop types and growth consequently lead to fluctuations in irrigation water demand, where summer crops need more water compared with winter crops [105].…”

“…The canal length is about 83 km, and it passes through several villages, towns, and cities (Menia El-Kamh, El-Zagazig, Hehia, and AwladSakr). The average daily discharge of the Bahr Mouise canal ranges between 5.0 and 12.5 million m 3 , and it provides the irrigation water requirements of 340,000 hectares [27]. To assess the water quality of Bahr Mouise, monthly samples (from January to December, 2019) were collected from six random sampling sites with irregular distances between one point and another along the central part of the canal.…”

“…The Bahr Mouise canal represents the main canal for irrigation and municipal water in the El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt [8]. The contamination of the Bahr Mouise canal is due to the brick industry in close areas (Menia El-Kamh and Hehia), soup, and oil industries in El-Zagazig city, as well as human settlement effluent [27]. Generally, the use of low-quality water causes several environmental impacts on soil, plants, animals, and humans [28,29].…”

Water scarcity and suitable irrigation water management in arid regions represent tangible challenges for sustainable agriculture. The current study aimed to apply multivariate analysis and to develop a simplified water quality assessment using principal component analysis (PCA) and the agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) technique to assess the water quality of the Bahr Mouise canal in El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. The proposed methods depended on the monitored water chemical composition (e.g., pH, water electrical conductivity (ECiw), Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3−, Cl−, and SO42−) during 2019. Based on the supervised classification of satellite images (Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI)), the distinguished land use/land cover types around the Bahr Mouise canal were agriculture, urban, and water bodies, while the dominating land use was agriculture. The water quality of the Bahr Mouise canal was classified into two classes based on the application of the irrigation water quality index (IWQI), while the water quality was classified into three classes using the PCA and AHC methods. Temporal variations in water quality were investigated, where the water qualities in winter, autumn, and spring (January, February, March, April, November, and December) were classified as class I (no restrictions) based on IWQI application, and the water salinity, sodicity, and/or alkalinity did not represent limiting factors for irrigation water quality. On the other hand, in the summer season (May, June, July, August, and October), the irrigation water was classified as class II (low restrictions); therefore, irrigation processes during summer may lead to an increase in the alkalinity hazard. The PCA classifications were compared with the IWQI results; the PCA classifications had similar assessment results during the year, except in September, while the water quality was assigned to class II using the PCA method and class I by applying the IWQI. Furthermore, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) around the Bahr Mouise canal over eight months and climatic data assisted in explaining the fluctuations in water quality during 2019 as a result of changing the crop season and agriculture management. Assessments of water quality help to conserve soil, reduce degradation risk, and support decision makers in order to obtain sustainable agriculture, especially under water irrigation scarcity and the limited agricultural land in such an arid region.

It is acknowledged that providing a safe water supply for all countries is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. Egypt is one of the greatest countries affected in Africa and Middle East. The Nile is facing a major water shortage due to the limited water resources and the the demand is growing as a result high population growth and development in industrial and agricultural sectors. This paper has been motivated by the fact that there is no up-to-date literature review of the optimal operation of Water Resources. The analysis of the reviewed literature is structured along five broad branches: (1) Mathematical Optimization Modelling Studies, (2) Numerical Simulation Modelling Studies, (3) Geographical Information Systems “GIS” based Studies, (4) Ecological Studies, (5) Water Reuse Studies. This review is limited to surface water but groundwater has been inexplicitly included. The paper concludes the best way to identify knowledge to cover the gap between water supply and demands and to guide future researches on water resources planning and management.

Water treatment in Egypt's El-Sharkia governorate is the focus of this investigation. There are more questions about the long-term safety of the ecosystem and human health when using conventional water purifying technologies. Traditional techniques employ aluminium sulphate (alum) as a water coagulant. Alzheimer's disease and other neuropathological illnesses have been linked to aluminium in several studies. Plant-based coagulants like M. oleifera are environmentally safe, non-toxic, and the most promising and cost-effective solution for water treatment. The seed extract of M. oleifera is used as a water coagulant in the new water treatment technology. Using the Jar test, alum and M. oleifera are compared as coagulant agents. The Belbeis Water Treatment Station collects the water samples throughout the course of a year, in all four seasons (2019-2020). For both raw and treated water, the evaluation of physicochemical and microbiological characteristics was conducted. More importantly, iron and manganese concentrations were reduced as well as overall bacterial population. Using M. oleifera as a biocoagulant for water purification is recommended by real testing.
