The purpose of the
Coastal Water Monitoring Program is to obtain baseline knowledge of
the quality of the Egyptian coastal waters and to establish a
continuous survey of these waters. The outputs is also used to
establish quantitative and causal relations between pollution
sources and pollution impacts. The proposed water sampling Program
focuses on measurements of marine water samples in the vicinity
of:
Identified major industrial pollution sources along the
Egyptian coastal waters
Pollution from sewage discharges from the
major coastal cities
Pollution from sewage discharges at the
major tourist resort areas
Outlets from the river Nile and the
major lakes.
The goals of the EIMP Coastal Water Monitoring
Project are to conduct sampling of marine waters at approximately 45
positions along the Mediterranean coastal waters and 38 in the Red
Sea Region and perform analyses of basic, eutrophication and
bacteriological parameters. Sampling and analysis procedures will be
established, and the results will be evaluated yearly. The results
of the EIMP Coastal Water Monitoring will be transferred to the EIMP
coastal water database at EEAA.
