Bahr Shebin Canal is an important canal in middle delta as it serves three big governorates Menofya, Gharbia and Kafr EL-sheikh. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the water quality of Bahr Shebin Canal for irrigation use. The evaluation of the canal based on data collected monthly by drainage Research Institute DRI through National Water Quality Monitoring Network NWQMN project from August 2017 to July 2018. The index outputs are numbers between zero to 100 that reflect the water quality status of the canal. Evaluation results for the monitoring points along Bahr shebin canal were fair. | ||
