Abstract
The presented study investigates the floating aquatic weeds spread on Nile River through Cairo governerate. Cairo city suffers from severe infestation of floating aquatic weeds water hyacinth on Nile River. The existence of floating aquatic weeds leads to bad influence on Nile scenery, which affect on image of civilization through Nile river. To overcome this problem investigation and designing process were carried out for constructing specific cylindrical barriers supplied with trash rack in El-Marazik territory south Cairo Governerate and El-Malatia territory south Bane-Sweif governerate respectively. The proposed cylindrical barriers and trash racks will control the floating aquatic weeds and prevent water hyacinth from reaching Cairo governerate. To fulfill the objectives of the study, several field measurements were carried out allover the two studied reaches. The intensity, the percentage of infestation, and the moving trend of the floating aquatic weeds were identified in the two studied areas. The detailed designing criterion of the created weed control barriers was developed to establish such aquatic weeds control utilities. Using the collected data which based on the analysis of field studies, certain applicable solutions were suggested to prevent floating aquatic weeds from reaching Cairo governerate which consequently led to control water hyacinth and improve Nile scenery in Cairo City.
