MONITORING AND ASSESSING THE WATER QUALITY AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION OF EL-DEKHELA NEW HARBOUR USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES
Maged Shoukry Kamel Guerguess;
Abstract
The coastal zone contains unique environmental trip point, where the water, land, and atmospheric components of the terrestrial surface converge may interact.
Alexandria city, which is considered the main summer resort in Egypt, lies on the southern coast of the Eastern Mediterranean sea, to the west of the Nile Delta. One of the major environmental problems in Alexandria City is water pollution. Various pollutants are dumped daily by industrial and domestic sources over Alexandria coasts, which are the most important aquatic and economic resources of.Alexandria.
The study area lies at the west of Alexandria, includes the Western Harbour, and its approaches to the east, El-Dekhela Harbour to the west and El-Mex Bay at the center. The overall area covers about 31 km2 and
from the coast up to a depth about 20-m.
El-Mex Bay and El-Dekhela Harbour are the most polluted hot spots in Egyptian northern coast El-Mex Bay receives a continuous direct discharge of industrial, agricultural drainage water about 6 million m3/day carrying agro-chemicals and trace metals, and domestic waste. The wastes dumped add their effects on the water quality ofEl-Mex Bay to those of the effluents.
El-Dekhela Harbour and Western Harbour receive large amount of organic and inorganic pollutants. Thus, these pollutants have a severe effect on the water quality and the associated aquatic ecosystem.
