Abstract
Particularly in dry regions, the scarcity of high-quality fresh water has heightened the importance of urban water re-use. The aim of this research is to evaluate the different of water resources in Qalyubiya Governorate, Egypt, for irrigation purposes. Its bounded by latitudes 30º 25′ N and longtitudes 31º 13′ E, 17 meters high above sea level. Taking into consideration the effect of used water on soil properties and accumulation of some elements in plants. Representative water, soil and plant samples were collected from Abu El-Manja canal and Iskandar drain sites, Qalyub area. The results indicated that soil salinity increased due to the application of drainge water in irrigation, howevere Rice plants diminshed the salinity effect. It is observed that the concentration of Pb, Zn and Cu increased in Onion and rice plants either irrigated by canal water or drainage water. No significance differnent in soil physical properties were observed in both study sites.
