Project Background

Irrigation canals connected with the Nile River are important for agriculture and water distribution in Egypt. Canal water quality may be affected by sediment, organic pollution, drainage return flow and seasonal water level changes.

For irrigation water management, continuous monitoring can help identify abnormal water quality changes before they affect downstream users or agricultural production.

Monitoring Challenge

Irrigation canals often have high suspended solids, changing flow velocity and possible external discharge influence. Turbidity, COD, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen are useful indicators for evaluating canal water condition.

YexSensor Recommended Solution

YexSensor recommends a sensor configuration focused on turbidity, COD, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen. The sensors can be installed at a canal bank, bridge section or monitoring station inlet.

With RS485 Modbus RTU output, the sensor data can be connected to a local control cabinet, data logger or remote monitoring platform.

Recommended Product Configuration

Product Image	Model / Product Link	Configuration Role
