Egyptian Journal of Agronomy http://agro.journals.ekb.eg/ Review 8E GYPT faces at the present time many major challenges, foremost of which is the limited and scarcity of water resources. Therefore, it is imperative for all workers and specialists in the field of sustainable water management to focus on, adopt and publish how to apply most water-saving technologies suitable for the conditions of the simple Egyptian farmer. Maximizing irrigation water use efficiency is a popular concept used by irrigation project managers. The country has recently paid a great attention to water policy, through the cooperation between the Ministries of Agriculture and Irrigation. The actual implementation has begun in some of governorates, including Ismailia, Suez, Port-Said, the New Valley and Behira as a first stage of replacing the traditional irrigation systems into fully controlled systems. Among the renewable sources of energy especially, in the Arab countries region, solar energy represents a good potential for the sustainable energy applications. Therefore, it is important to establish solar pumping systems for increasing the agricultural reclamation projects. The current case study is done by presenting a theoretical analysis to evaluate the water pumping technique using solar energy under several water demands. The dynamic simulation model output results covered all the performance affected parameters like solar energy input, water demands, and total dynamic head. On the other hand, the economic analysis of the system is also considered.

“…El-Salam Canal starts from Damietta river Nile branch with a quantity of 2.11 billion m 3 per year and runs south-east to mix with El-Serw drainage water with 0.435 billion m 3 per year then moves south-east to mix with Hadous drainage water with 1.905 billion m 3 per year then moves east under Suez Canal to Sinai Peninsula to convey the total quantity of nearly 4.45 billion m 3 per year with an approximate volumetric ratio of 1:1, Nile water to drainage water (Elkorashey, 2012). The flow of fresh water and drainage water supplied to the canal can be controlled by the automation system (Donia, 2012). This automatic control system is able to process data of various flows and water quality data along the canal and the feeding drains.…”

The El-Salam Canal was designed to supply irrigation water in the northern Delta and crossing the Suez Canal eastward to the northern Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. The canal receives both the Nile water and contaminated drainage water with a ratio of 1:1. The drainage water comes mostly from Hadous and El-Serw pumping stations. In this regard, the water quality of the El-Salam Canal can be estimated to check the level of usage. So, the water quality of the El-Salam Canal was simulated using the one-dimensional surface water quality model (AQUASIM). The water quality simulation focuses on five nutrients: chlorophyll-a (Chll-a), ammonia (NH4), nitrate (NO3), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and dissolved oxygen (DO), based on the kinetic rates of production-death-respiration of Chll-a, nitrification-denitrification of NH4 and NO3, reaeration-oxidation-deoxidation of DO and COD. The calibration and validation were performed for the model predictions along the El-Salam Canal. The accuracy of the AQUASIM model was evaluated applying various statistical rating tools. The water quality variation along the El-Salam Canal is evaluated using the water quality index (WQI). The results were affected by agricultural and domestic uses. The canal is acceptable for irrigation with much concern of pre-treatment in the Hadous drain (one of the main drainage providing the El-Salam Canal). Further, the El-Salam Canal showed a decline in DO with respect to the flow profile as a tropical zone of north Egypt especially in summer. The outcomes acquired in this study will facilitate the development of a policy for the operational enhancement of sustainable water quality in the El-Salam Canal.

“…The intake of canal starts at the right bank of Nile River branch of Damietta branch at 219 km and 3 km upstream the Faraskur dam and passes through five governorates from Damietta, Dakahliya, Sharkiya, and Port Said to North Sinai [28]. The canal total length is about 277 km and and supplies its water to an area of 62 hectares which is divided into two main parts; the first part at Western knowns as El-Salam Canal has 86 km and 22 hectare, and the second part has 191 km and 44 hectare at Eastern part of Sinai [29]. The river Nile receives the back agricultural drainage water in Upper Egypt while this drainage water disposes to the Mediterranean Sea and North lakes in the Nile Delta.…”

“…The water resources of the area west of Suez Canal and Sinai is supported by El-Salam Canal, the canals annual water supply is about 445 BCM milliard m 3 , about 2.11 BCM supplied from Nile water while 1.905 and 0.435 BCM from the Hadous drain and El-Serw drain [32]. The canal water salinity should not exceed 1250 mg/L [29].…”

Stability of canals slopes are of paramount importance in engineering works due to its interaction with the infrastructure including roads networks and buildings. The failure of these slopes could cause human disaster, catastrophic environmental, and economic losses. The present study aims to investigate the stability of canals slopes considering the climate changes through sea level rise, fluctuation of groundwater level and the seismic actions. The study was simulated on the North Eastern part of Nile Delta aquifer, Egypt using the finite difference code of Visual MODFLOW. Moreover, the groundwater flow under the effect of sea level rise was investigated to study its effect on slope stability of El-Salam Canal, Egypt. Furthermore, the finite element program of Phase 2 was implemented, and safety factors were calculated using the shear strength reduction method (SSRM). The models are calibrated and verified through experimental work using permeability and seepage model. Moreover, the two models were applied on El-Salam Canal considering three scenarios to identify the safety factors including the effect of sea level rise (SLR), earthquake acceleration and a combination of the two scenarios. The results indicated that dynamic response values of the canal slope have different variation rules under near and far field earthquakes. Finally, the damage location and pattern of the slope failure are different in varying groundwater conditions.
