In: Misr Journal of Agricultural Engineering 2004.v.21(3)Summary: Degradation of water resources is one of the environmental damages. In this study, the groundwater samples were taken from 13 sites and 5 sites for irrigation water samples to determine pH, salinity, ammonium and nitrate, and heavy metals. The data were compared with the WHO guidelines for irrigation and drinking water. The pH, total dissolved solids(TDS), Nf4¬N,and N03-N for irrigation water, drainage water and groundwater were in the range of acceptable levels for irrigation guidelines. While, TDS in groundwater exceeds the limits for the drinking water. With exception of cadmium and manganese, heavy metals concentrations in irrigation and drainage water were lower than the irrigation standards. Cadmium, lead, and manganese levels in the groundwater were exceeds the limits for the drinking water. The groundwater must be treated, before it can be recommended as a source for drinking water.
