The population growth, economic development, with the consequent anthropogenic activities in Egypt and global climate change pose to reduce the quality trends of surface water resources. The limited amounts of rainfall make the country dependent mainly on the Nile River. The management of river water quality is a major environmental challenge. Cairo, sits on the River Nile south of the Mediterranean Sea, just upstream of the point where the river widens into the Delta. Cairo has an average reach length along the river about 50 km (from Km 900 to km 950 Referenced to Aswan High Dam). This research study area covers Cairo governorate along the River Nile, bounded by El Saff town at Km 877.00 from the South and El Kanater town at Km 953.00 from the North. This area is of particular importance in the study of surface water quality because; industrial and municipal wastes, agricultural and run-off from developing areas were mixing with river flow and surrounding water body thereby deteriorating the water quality. This study mainly aims to develop Water Quality Management Information System (WQMIS) capable of proposing the required managent scenarios to improve water quality upstream Cairo drinking plants and control the pollution sources. The collected data were utilized in three phases of analysis. In the first phase water quality indices (WQIs) were calculated using Canadian Water Quality Index (CWQI). In the second phase, mathematical model (MIKE11 model developed by Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI), Denmark) was formulated to simulate a conservative WQ parameter (salinity of river water). This model was calibrated and used to simulate different scenarios to improve study reach water quality. Three WQ parameters (dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD)) were modeled. In the third phase, The Water Quality Management Information System (WQMIS) was constructed for assessing and predicting the situation of the WQ status under current and future conditions. The study management scenarios showed that the maximum water quality improvement can be achieved under integrated management approach of study reach water quality based on the application of drain effluent treatment, drinking water plant sludge disposal treatment and increasing the study reach flow. less
