“…Shortage in quantity of irrigation water demand is a limiting factor affecting negatively crop productivity in many arid zone soils including the arable lands of egypt (AbdAllah et al, 2019;Aboelsoud andAhmed, 2020 andfarid et al, 2020b). This; consequently, lead us to use other unconventional water resources like wastewater (Abbas and Bassouny, 2018;elcossy et al 2020 andfarid et al 2020a) which became a necessity (Galaviet al, 2010).…”

A fIelD experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Soil and Water Research Department, Nuclear Research Centre, Atomic energy Authority, Inshas, egypt to investigate the effects of radiating canola seeds with γ-ray at three doses, i.e. 100, 200 and 300 Gy vs the non-irradiated controlon plant growth performance and yield productivity. Nitrogen fertilization and the source of irrigation water were also matters of concern in this study. All experimental plots received the recommended dose of N-fertilizers (150 kg N ha-1) in either of the following forms:100% mineral-N, 100% organic-N or 50% mineral-N +50% organic-N. Also, a drip irrigation-system was constructed to irrigate canola plants with either freshwater or treated-wastewater. Irradiation, in general, resulted in higher values of canola-dry-weights which were enhanced by increasing gamma ray dose up to 300Gy. Similarly, NPK contents within different plant parts of the irradiated-canola increased in an order coincide with the magnitudes of the used irradiation dose, i.e. 300Gy> 200Gy >100Gy > 0Gy. Moreover, oil yield was significantly increased with increasing gamma dose. On the other hand, the enhancement of NPK uptake was more vigorous in case of combined-fertilization-treatment (50% mineral-N +50% organic-N) than the application of either 100% mineral-N or 100% organic-N. This consequently raised significantly root and shoot dry weights as well as seed yield and canola oil productivity. It seems that irrigation with treated wastewater resulted in higher increases in NPK uptake as well as canola oil yield than irrigation with freshwater. Thus, it can be deduced that the combined-fertilization-treatment and high irradiation dose of gamma-ray had achieved the highest increases in plant DW and productivity (5.3 Mg seed yield ha-1), at the same time these values were higher under irrigation with treated wastewater than those irrigated with fresh water.

“…These two prospective problems are going to be further exacerbated in the future (Xu and Li, 2020). In Egypt, water crisis represents a potential threat (AbdAllah et al, 2019;Farid et al, 2020b andRafaat et al, 2020) that affects negatively the sustainability of crop production in many of its arable lands (Darwesh, 2018;El-Ramady et al, 2019;El-Ghannam et al, 2019;AbuZeid, 2020 and. This situation is thought to become more crucial upon the filling and operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Abdelazim etal., 2020 and.…”

N ILE Delta aquifer is one of the largest aquifers worldwide that receives the agrochemical leachates from the surrounding environments. To assess the status of some trace-elements (As, Co, Cd, Pb, Cu and Ni) in the NorthEast area of Egypt, well-water samples beside of surface, subsurface and deep-soil-samples were collected from 17 different locations to represent three environmental-pathways: the first one signifies areas relatively nearby Damiettabranch, while the third pathway stands for the arable lands nearby Ismaellia-canal. The second pathway is in-between these two pathways. Furthermore,a reference soil (irrigated with fresh-Nile-water) was sampled for data comparison.These samples were estimated for their total and AB-DTPA-extractable contents of the aforementioned trace elements (TEs). Results revealed that AB-DTPA-extractable-TEs were in dynamic equilibrium with the corresponding soluble contents in irrigation water. Likewise, AB-DTPA-extractable-TEs significantly correlated with their corresponding total contents in soil. Concentrations of TEs in surface-soil-layer were higher than the corresponding ones in the subsurface and deep-soil-layers. The calculated values of contamination factor indicated moderate to very high levels of soil contamination with TEs. According to the principal component analysis, total and AB-DTPA-extractable-TEs in soil were affected by only one-principal-component, recording 86.13 % of the data variance. This indicates that these contaminants originated probably from the same source. Moreover, multivariate-analyses revealed that total TEs significantly and positively correlated with soil hydraulic conductivity and bulk density, while negatively correlated with exchangeable sodium percentage, clay and organic matter contents. These results indicate that the groundwater flow is the potential source that enriched soils with TEs. Accordingly, any reductions in effluents of fresh Nile water, which is in hydraulic continuity with the groundwater in the studied area, can increase the severity of soil pollution with TEs in the studied area.

“…Further studies based on biological approaches should be also carried out. (Abdallah et al 2019). It can be demonstrated that expansions of groundwater pollution is more along Industrial area as compared to agricultural and residential zones (Anwar and Abdul Gaffar 2018).…”

P OOR water quality mainly exists because of the increasing population and horizontal expansion which are associated with deterioration in sanitation and crop productivity. The present study is aiming to assess the quality of different water sources and soil under sea water intrusion along 3 directions in North Delta, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. A total of 45 water samples were collected from 15 locations along 3 lines. The results showed that the salinity, sodicity and nitrate concentrations of irrrigarion water were increased toward the north due to the use of blended water for irrigation. The concentrations of Mn, Pb, Cd, Fe and Zn for all drains were varied from 0.20 to 1.36, 0.15 to 0.97, 0.0 to 0.2, 0.29 to 2.70 and 0.0 to 0.1 mgL-1 , respectively. The lowest values of soil salinity and sodicity were recorded far from the sea, while the highest values were recorded near the sea. It could be rendered to the effect of artesian pressure of saline ground water near the sea, where the highest value reached 20.25dS m-1 in line 1 and the lowest value was observed in line 3. Sea water intrusion were calculated for the studied ground water samples and followed the decending order of : line 3˃ line 2˃ line 1. On the other hand, appreciable quantities of residual sodium carbonate (RSC) were-1.51,-7.99 and-34.1 for irrigation, drainage and groundwater, respectively. The water samples having high RSC can have an appreciable sodicity hazard.
