| Abstract |
Lack of water is an obstacles confronting development in many countries of the arid and semiarid regions as Egypt. Drainage water could be used for irrigation to partially satisfy the need of water. Samples of drainage water were collected from four main regions of Nile Delta (Helwan, Giza, Qualubia and Dakahlia) through two years (2002-2003). Soluble salts, macronutrients (N and P) and micro- nutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Co, Pb, Cd and Ni) were determined to study the pollution and the quality of this water for irrigation. Results showed that all canals in this study are considered good. water for irrigation and also all drains and mixed canals are considered under division of increasing salinity problems of irrigation water. Finally the main drain is considered highly saline for irrigation and classified as sever salinity problems. On the other hand, results shows that the values of both macro- and micronutrierits as pollution point of view in all sites, except the main drain, are still below the critical limits and could be used for irrigation without any problems
