Abstract
Marwa Mohammad Reda Mahmoud Afifi: Biological Treatment of Agricultural Drains Water. Unpublished Ph.D Thesis, Agriculture Science Department, Institute of Environmental Studies and Research, Ain Shams University, 2017.
Against the backdrop of scarce water resources coupled with the increasing demand on water for agricultural expansion, the reuse of drainage water has become an important element of Egypt's national water policy. Discharging untreated sewage and chemical wastes directly into drains has become an alarming problem and with the growing population, water bodies would no longer cope with the increasing pollution loads. Therefore, biological treatment of drainage water became one of the most promising solutions to solve the water scarcity problem.
Aiming at the biological treatments of drains water to be useful in agriculture processes as well as producing the green algal biomass, the present work was achieved. Water samples were collected from EL- Salam canal from different sites including Bahr El-Bakar and Bahr Hadous to draw the contamination line through chemical and biological analyses.
Highest results of chemical composition and microbial load in Bahr El-Bakar drain was found in Om EL-Resh site compare to other nutrients in other sites that mostly lies within the permissible limits making water in suitable for irrigation purposes. From the presented results Om- EL Resh location seems to be the most salt contaminate water and more suitable for many algal species growth that able to drastically removing such nutrients.
