    Comparative Study of the Gezira Scheme Canals Efficiency
    (Napata College, 2023-12) Maha Yousif El Amri; Adam Khalifa Mommed; Fath Elrahman E. N; Abbas Abdalla Ibrahim
    The agricultural sector plays a key role in Sudan economy. It is well known that the Gezira Agricultural Scheme is the largest irrigated area in Sudan, and largest area under one administration in the world. The Gezira Scheme problem is that it suffered for several decades from political urgent decisions which led to low production. This was associated with apparent destruction, degradation and poor irrigation. These formidable problems revealed the main objective to solve the drawdown preventing development. This extended the objectives which in turn revealed the existing conditions of the Gezira Scheme, checked irrigation drainage infrastructures networks, water supply control, as well as released demands with its impact on crops rotations and production. The study methodology paved the road to keep the irrigation canals in perfect condition fulfilling the entire objective leading to solution of all the problems. Field and office works can be successful if they function with excellence during periods when there exists low water supply, such that the discharge in the canals continue with optimum or close to the optimum design discharges two cases were considered, Zananda and Haj Abdalla canals. The study indicated that renovation of such conditions is achieved with such conditions. This was supplemented with the positive results of fieldwork practices inherited from the past, associated with the high-level limits of the scientific recommendations. It is seen that Silts, weeds in the canals are the most problems encountered with the scheme. In addition to mismanagement of water discharge and crops rotations

    Evaluation of Groundwater Quality Drinking Purposes using Water Quality Index: A Case Study at Abu Guta area, Gezira Scheme
    (Napata College, 2024-04) Maha Yousif El-Aamri; Adam Khalifa Mommed; Khalid Abdel-Fattah; Hisham I. M. Abdel-Magid
    In this study, researchers delve into the assessment of groundwater quality for drinking purposes in the Abu Guta area within the Gezira Scheme. They shed light on the growing demand for water driven by population growth and economic development, underlining the crucial role of groundwater as the primary water source in the region, emphasizing its importance for sustaining life. The article emphasizes the significance of water quality assessment in determining its suitability for human consumption, taking into account both natural processes and human activities. To comprehensively evaluate water quality, the researchers employ the Water Quality Index (WQI), a tool that provides a holistic analysis based on various parameters and allows for comparisons against established guidelines. The study meticulously outlines the methodology for calculating WQI scores, focusing on parameters like pH, chlorides, hardness, and conductivity, among others. Through rigorous sampling and laboratory analysis of water samples from 22 locations, the researchers uncover a spectrum of water quality ranging from poor to good for drinking purposes, with variations observed across different samples and seasons. Eval. Of Groundwater at Abu Guta El Aamri et al . Key parameters influencing water quality, such as pH, hardness, and chloride levels, are identified and discussed in detail. While most parameters meet recommended standards, deviations are noted in certain samples, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring and management efforts to address water quality challenges effectively. In essence, the study provides valuable insights into groundwater quality assessment using the WQI methodology, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and management practices to ensure a safe and sustainable drinking water supply in the region. Through their research, the authors advocate for a holistic approach to water management, underscoring the imperative of safeguarding this vital resource for present and future generations.
