Study of Water Quality Control of Rosetta Branch
Noha Samir Mohamed Donia;
Abstract
Research on the modeling and controlo of water quality in rivers and streams has been reported widely. The reason for this is that with the extension of civilization, water in streams is used for industrial purposes and effluents are discharged again in rivers. This
• of course disturbs the ecological balance in the system that may affect life. What is essentially required in a river, which is used either for potable supply or for recreation, is to maintain pollution levels in polluted reaches within reasonable bounds consistent for both the community needs and for maintaining a satisfactory ecological balance as well as standards of water quality.
In Egypt, Rosetta branch, one of the two main branches of the Nile River, is the main concern of the study. It flows downstream Delta Barrage to the North-West where it ends with Edfina Barrage that releases excess water to the Mediterranean Sea. The Rosetta Branch is impacted by several industrial companies at Kafr El-Zayat city and agricultural drains located along the branch. These two sources of pollution potentially affect and deteriorate its quality of water.
The main objective of this study is to develop a system that can formulate alternative strategies to improve the Rosetta Branch water quality in order to allow its safe usage for drinking, fishing and
recreation.

To identify the major pollution problems of Rosetta Branch, two activities have been carried out. The first is identification of the
• water quality characteristics through a water quality survey which has
been carried out in high and low flow seasons. The second is to compare and evaluate the Rosetta Branch characteristics based on the relevant standards and guidelines.
To clarify cause-effect relationships between pollutant loads and environmental conditions and to simulate the impact of remedial actions on water quality parameters; a water quality control software was successfully developed.
