Infiltration of Nile River Water into Ground Water Investigation and Modelling of Hydraulic and Geochemical Process during Bank Filtration

Abstract

Drinking water quality should be preserved and conserved through the design, operation, and maintenance of water supply systems. The main goal of the current study has been planned from this perspective. During River Bank Filtration, Al-Qurain City, Sharkyia Governorate, Egypt, the main goal was to find a new technique like RBF and predict a dissolved organic matter biodegradation model. Al muzainin RBF, conventional drinking water (AL Qurian water Planet), and groundwater well delivered from the El Saadia canal were compared. The physical and chemical quality of drinking water has been monitored. The current study provided a comprehensive figure on tests carried out from 2016 to 2018. 5.1 Summary: • Dissolved Organic Matter Biodegradation Model  Al muzainin RBF was recharged from raw water (El Saadia canal) at a rate of 70% to 80%.  The model estimated from TOC result the below Empirical Model TOCr (mg/l) = (a x (TOC0 x Qi) + b x (Qg x TOCg))/(Qr) • Comparison between Al muzainin RBF and groundwater well  The water turbidity of Al muzainin RBF and groundwater well remained stable and were consistently below 0.39 NTU; the data shows that the turbidity reduction with Al muzainin RBF and groundwater well reaches 98 %.  The total dissolved solids of the El Saadia canal ranged from 192 to 228 mg/l, Al muzainin RBF from 259 to 295 mg/l, and groundwater well from 413 to 444 mg/l. The results show that the total dissolved solids of Al muzainin RBF are similar to those of the El Saadia canal and are better than ground
