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.
