Abstract
The properties of alluvial soils eastern part of Nile delta based on geomorphological zones are studied. Water characteristics, soil physical and chemical properties were studied during 24–40 years. The results showed that the highest soils quality of alluvial zone are located in young terraces. In a zone of coastal plain the salinization processes are active. On the other hand old terraces are dominated by aeolian processes.
