In: Egyptian Journal of Soil Science 2009.v.49(1)Summary: Due. to the shortage of irrigation water in south Port-Said Governorate, people arc using mixed water resources (canals) with agricultural, industrial and domestic waste water. Six fresh water sources in ,this area were evaluated for their microbial and chemical quality. Several microbial groups were determined, including total viable bacteria, total coliform. fecal coliform (Fe), fecal streptococci (FS), Salmonella and Shigella. For chemical evaluation, salinity, cations. anions, macronutrients, and micronutrients were determined. In general, there was a high level of microbial contamination, Bahr El-Bakar at Shader Azzam being the most contaminated, followed by Bahr El-Bakar at El-Sharkia, Sahl El-Hossinia mixed with Bahr El-Bakar, Sahl El-Hossinia drain, El-Salam canal, and then Sarhan canal. The high leve1.s of bacterial count of coliform, fecal coliform, and fecal streptococci showed that the water resources are contaminated.
