ABSTRACT: The aim
of this study is to estimate the effects of the accumulation of harmful heavy metals
in the irrigation water resulting from the proximity of the various activities
of various water: sewage, artesian wells and industrial activities,
particularly Borg El Arab Industrial area and take Nile water l Control (Bahig
canal). The concentrations of these heavy metals in samples drawn from
different distances from the source of irrigation in summer 2011 that contain
the highest concentrations, followed by the winter of 2012. These results have
shown that the amount of heavy metals in the samples at a distance of 50 meters
is more than quantity of 5000 m by a 30 to 35 twice in water for irrigation,
also the amount of heavy metals in the samples at a distance of 50 meters has
values less than the permissible limits and disappeares completely at a distance
of 5000 meters and that for different sources.
