The results of chemical analyses of the collected water samples (Table 1) showed that, (Bahig (fresh water) calcium is the most dominant cation followed by sodium and magnesium (Ca²⁺ > Na⁺ > Mg²⁺). These elements show wide range of chemical concentration, calcium concentration ranges from 68 to 36 mg/l, sodium concentration ranges from 27 to 23 mg/l, and magnesium concentration ranges from 18 to 14 mg/l. Low concentra- tions represent low water salinity dominated at the Bahig area.

El-Rawaisate (artesian water), sodium is the most dominant cation followed by calcium and magnesium and (Na⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Mg²⁺). These elements show wide range of chemical concentration, sodium concentration ranges from 136 to 134 mg/l, calcium concentration ranges from 102 to 98 mg/l, and magnesium concentration ranges from 22 to 27 mg/l. Low concentrations represent low water salinity dominated at the El-Rawaisate area.

Mary Mina (sewage water), sodium is the most dominant cation followed by magnesium and calcium (Na⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Ca²⁺), These elements show relatively high values of chemical concentration, sodium concentration ranges from 301 to 439 mg/l, calcium concentration ranges from 156 to 148 mg/l, and magnesium concentration ranges from 88 to 99 mg/l. high concentrations represent high water salinity dominated at Mary Mina area. While some groundwater samples show increasing of calcium over magnesium (Na⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Mg²⁺) as a result of cation exchange processes

Burg-El-Arab Industrial Zone (artificial water), sodium is the most dominant cation followed by magnesium and calcium (Na⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Ca²⁺), These elements show relatively high values of chemical concentration, sodium concentration ranges from 441 to 382 mg/l, calcium concentration ranges from 150 to 144 mg/l, and magnesium concentration ranges from 86 to 73 mg/l. high concentrations represent high water salinity dominated at

The main purpose of the trilinear diagram proposed by [12] is to show different water types in a particular area. The diamond-shaped field of this diagram consists of two equal triangular fields. Generally, water which appears in the upper triangle has secondary salinity properties, where (+ Cl⁻) exceed (Na⁺ + K⁺) and the characteristic water types are Ca and Mg chlorides and sulphates. On the other hand, those which appear in the lower triangle are considered to have primary alkalinity properties where (+) exceed (Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺), and the characteristic water types are Na and K carbonates and bicarbonates. Figure 2 shows two trilinear plots of major ions in water samples collected from the study area in summer 2011 and winter 2012.

-Bahig area (fresh water) and El-Rawaisate area (artesian) appear in the lower triangle are considered to have primary alkalinity properties where (+) exceed (Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺), and the characteristic water types are Na and K carbonates and bicarbonates. While, Burg-El-Arab Industrial Zone (artificial water), Mary Mina (Sludge water) samples appear in the upper triangle of the diamond-shaped field, the dominant water types are Ca and Mg chlorides and sulphates. Water in these areas enriched in Mg²⁺ than water in the Bahig area (fresh water) and El-Rawaisate area (artesian)) indicating its precipitation from water as it moves downgradient. This process is responsible for the dominance of Mg-rich carbonate deposits and cement within the Quaternary clastic sediments of the study area. These deposits affect ground-water quality and may create perched conditions in some areas.

Generally,in Burg?El-Arab enriched with Fe, followed by Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Co, Ni, and Cd. [13] fond that the soluble heavy metals (ppm) in wastewater were as follows: Fe (34.0 and 56.0) > Mn (9.60 and 17.90) > Zn (5.70 and 6.80) > Pb (5.70 and 4.30) > Cu (4.60 and 3.90) > Co (2.50 and 3.70) > Ni (2.50 and 1.90).Concentration of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Co and Ni in water samples from Burg ?El-Arab canals (Table 2), revealed that the factories liquid wastes, sludge , artesian discharged in irrigation water.

The concentration of metals decreased by getting far away from the sources of pollution and could be arranged, descending between distance at 50m (in summer 201) Nile water (Bahig canal) (control), as following: Fe (0.3 [1] 1.23) > Mn (0.06 - 0.65) > Zn (0.08 - 0.52) > Cu (0.0 [1] 0.16) > Pb, Cd, Co, Ni. Generally the liquid wastes were enriched with these metals and were much higher than the maximum concentration recommended by [14] for waste water for irrigation. Also, levels of the heavy metals in water samples were generally higher than which are recorded for fresh water in several studies, since the reported values (ppm) were in the range of 0.11 - 0.77 for Fe, 0.01 - 0.11 for Mn, 0.01 -0.09 for Zn, 0.0 [1] 0.12 for Cu, 0.01 - 0.06 for Pb, 0.02 - 0.04 for Cd, 0.0 [1] 0.06 for Coand 0.01 - 0.02 for Ni [15] -[18] .

luted Nile water were as follow in ppm :Fe 0.77 > Mn 0.11 > Zn 0.09 > Cu0.01 and Pb 0.01. Also, concentrations of heavy metals (ppm) in industrial wastewater were as follow: Fe 34.40 > Pb 3.80 > Mn 2.50 > Co 1.50 > Zn 0.69 > Cu 0.47 Table 2.

[19] found that the superphosphate fertilizer contained varying amounts of heavy metals particularly Cd, Pb and Ni and these concentrations (ug/g) were 23.1 Cd, 35.0 Pb and 60.0 Ni Table 2.

Superphosphate, pesticides, sludge, brick factories were the main sources of pollution by heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Co and Ni [16] [20] - [23] .

[8] [9] found that BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) this test measures the oxygen required by microorganisms during the degradation of water sample increasing by increasing in sewage sludge In summer July 2011 (50 m ? 5000 m) the Turbidity in Industrial water (1286 TU-1246 TU) and domestic wastes (1487 TU - 1446 TU) contribute with both inorganic and organic materials Table 3. Practically, all public water supplies are free from noticeable turbidity [10] and [11] . It is the clear from the present study the waste water irrigated decreased with treatment the artificial water before mixed with Nile water and the same with the sludge water collected in Mary mina station from Tokyo Tech and used Cetro-cal compound from Agrico.co reduced salinity and heavy metals content in artesian water.

[2] elevated levels of metals in water may be toxic they enter the food chain and could be harmful to animal and human being.

Irrigation water in the study area including Burg-El-Arab (Industrial water), Mary Mina (sewage water) , Bahig (fresh water) and El-Rawaisate (artesian water). According to U.S Salinity Laboratory [24] based on the Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), and the specific conductance. Generally, irrigation water with low SAR is much desirable. The suitability of groundwater for agricultural purposes depends on the effect of mineral constituents of water on both plants and soil. Effects of salts on soils causing changes in soil structure, permeability and aeration indirectly affect plant growth. [25] and US Salinity Laboratory [24] proposed irrigational specifications for evaluating the suitability of water for irrigation use. There is a significant relationship between sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) values for irrigation water and the extent to which sodium is adsorbed by the soils. If water used for irrigation is high in sodium and low in calcium, the cation exchange complex may become saturated with sodium, which can destroy the soil structure owing to dispersion of clay particles [26] . SAR was computed using the equation given below [27]

where, the concentration of these cations is expressed in e.p.m. According to the U.S. Salinity Laboratory diagram, the water is divided into classes C1, C2, C3, and C4, which denote the conductance and S1, S2, S3, and S4, which denote SAR (table). The recommended classification of water for irrigation according to SAR ranges are shown in Table 4. If the SAR value is greater than 6 - 9, the irrigation water will cause permeability problems on shrinking and swelling of clayey soils types [28] .

As shown from Figure 3 as well as Table 4, and according to the foregoing discussion, it clears that:

-Nile water samples falls in the good water class (C2-S1, S2) where C2 reflects good water for soil of medium permeability for most plants, and S1, S2 reflect good for coarse grained permeability soils, unsatisfactory for highly clayey soil with low leaching.

-Artesian water falls in the moderate water class (C3-S3) where medium to highly saline water and highly sodium content. C3 reflects satisfactory for plants, having a moderate salts tolerance on soils of moderate permeability with leaching, S3 means suitable only with good drainage, high leaching and organic matter addition some chemical additives.

-Sludge water and artificial water fall in the bad water class C4-S4, where C4 reflects highly saline water, having satisfactory for salt tolerant crops on soils of good permeability with special leaching. S4 reflects very highly sodium and unsatisfactory.

S: summer; W: winter; mg/L: milligrams per liter; TU: turbidity.

The non desirable effects resulting from irrigate by Sludge water and artificial water leading to excess concentration of sodium in irrigation water, where sodium ions tend to be absorbed by clay particles, displacing Mg and Ca ions. This exchange process of Na in water for Ca and Mg in soil reduces the permeability and eventually results in soil with poor internal drainage. Hence, air and water circulation is restricted during wet conditions and such soils are usually hard when dry. The irrigation water will cause permeability problems on shrinking and swelling of clayey soils types [28] -[31] .
