Effects of Discharge Reject Brine on Surface Water in Port Sudan City

Abstract

The general aim of this study focus on the effects of discharge reject brine
into the surface water in Port Sudan city. It considers baseline study in Port
Sudan. Three samples of water were taken from sea land lagoon by using
TCD (Temperature, Conductivity and Depth) device; on the other hand one
sample from open sea (Abu Hashish) was also taken. All the samples were
collected during summer and winter seasons.
The obtained results showed a significant increase in the temperature and
salinity of the surface water when mixed with the discharge reject brine, this
will absolutely affect the marine life. Also the continuous discharge reject
brine into water near the intake desalination plants affects the characteristics
of the feed water.
