ABSTRACT
The hydrography and chemistry of Lake Msnzaleh waters were
studied during 1967 after the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
The freshwater formerly discharged through the Nile connections
during flood time isthought to be compensatedby the increasedamount
of drainage water dischargedat the southern and western parts of the
lake.
A comparison between the nutrient level of the lake during 1963
and 1967 is given.
