Drain water is the removal of a surface water from an area with high amount of water whether naturally or industrially originated. Water is carried to outlet by main drains collecting water from the laterals. Sub mains branched from the main drain are used to collect water (Dalrymple, 2015). In Egypt, the annual supply of water is about 57.7 billion cubic meters collected from the Nile, rainfall along the Mediterranean coast and the deep groundwater as well. However, the estimated used water for farms, industries, and people is around 72.4 BCM (Barnes, 2014). It is noteworthy to mention that, most of the heavy metals are bound to particles in sediment, though a small quantity is dissolved in water and can spread widely mounting the atmost top of the food chain (El-Nemeki et al., 2008). Furthermore,wells, rivers, dams and large ponds are good sources of water for fish farm ponds (Gabbadon & De Souza, 2008). Hence, aquatic organisms are exposed to high levels of heavy metals.
