Aims and Scope
Since 1980, The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry has provided sound
and solid knowledge about environmental topics from a chemical perspective.
Presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and approaches, the series now covers
topics such as local and global changes of natural environment and climate;
anthropogenicimpactontheenvironment;water,airandsoilpollution;remediation
and waste characterization; environmental contaminants; biogeochemistry; geo-
ecology;chemicalreactionsandprocesses;chemicalandbiologicaltransformations
as well as physical transport of chemicals in the environment; or environmental
modeling. A particular focus of the series lies on methodological advances in
environmentalanalyticalchemistry.

Series Preface
Withremarkablevision,Prof. OttoHutzingerinitiatedTheHandbook ofEnviron-
mentalChemistry in1980andbecamethe foundingEditor-in-Chief.Atthattime,
environmental chemistry was an emerging field, aiming at a complete description
of the Earth’s environment, encompassing the physical, chemical, biological, and
geologicaltransformationsofchemicalsubstancesoccurringonalocalaswellasa
global scale. Environmental chemistry was intended to provide an account of the
impact of man’s activities on the natural environment by describing observed
changes.
Whileaconsiderableamountofknowledgehasbeenaccumulatedoverthelast
three decades, as reflected in the more than 70 volumes of The Handbook of
Environmental Chemistry, there are still many scientific and policy challenges
ahead due to the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the field. The series
will therefore continue to provide compilations of current knowledge. Contribu-
tions are written by leading experts with practical experience in their fields. The
Handbook of Environmental Chemistry grows with the increases in our scientific
understanding, and provides a valuable source not only for scientists but also for
environmental managers and decision-makers. Today, the series covers a broad
rangeofenvironmentaltopicsfromachemicalperspective,includingmethodolog-
icaladvancesinenvironmentalanalyticalchemistry.
Inrecentyears,therehasbeenagrowingtendencytoincludesubjectmatterof
societal relevance in the broad view of environmental chemistry. Topics include
life cycle analysis, environmental management, sustainable development, and
socio-economic, legal and even political problems, among others. While these
topics are of great importance for the development and acceptance of The Hand-
bookofEnvironmentalChemistry,thepublisherandEditors-in-Chiefhavedecided
tokeepthehandbookessentiallyasourceofinformationon“hardsciences”witha
particular emphasis on chemistry, but also covering biology, geology, hydrology
andengineeringasappliedtoenvironmentalsciences.

“pure” chemistry, including those in industry, business, government, research
establishments, and public interest groups. It would be very satisfying to see
these volumes used as a basis for graduate courses in environmental chemistry.
Withitshighstandardsofscientificqualityandclarity,TheHandbookofEnviron-
mental Chemistry provides a solid basis from which scientists can share their
knowledge on the different aspects of environmental problems, presenting a wide
spectrumofviewpointsandapproaches.

Preface
Egyptian Northern Coastal lakes (Mariout or Mariut, Edku or Edko or Idku,
Burullus or Borollus, Manzala and Bardawil) could be a source of wealth for
Egypt if the Egyptian and the concerning authorities intend, plan, and implement
theneededmeasurestokeepthelakessustainable.Therefore,TheEgyptianCoastal
Lakes and Wetlands in two volumes is produced by the Egyptian researchers and
scientiststohelpandsupportwhoareinterestedintheselakes.Thissecondvolume
isdividedintofourpartsconsistingof11chapterswrittenby14authors.Itfocuses
on climate change, biodiversity, zooplankton, fish and fisheries, water quality
modeling,andremotesensingapplications.
Part I of this volume consists of three chapters dealing with the impacts of
climate change and water quality modeling. In the chapter titled “Environmental
andClimaticImplicationsofLakeManzala,Egypt:ModelingandAssessment,”the
author presents the results of water quality modeling for Lake Manzala and their
assessmentandtheirconnectionstoclimatechange.Ontheotherhand,thechapter
“ModelingofWater Quality ParametersinManzala Lake Using Adaptive Neuro-
Fuzzy Inference System and Stochastic Models” discusses the capabilities of
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and stochastic models in pre-
dictionofwaterqualityparametersbasedonfieldmeasurementsinManzalaLake.
TheuseofANFISproveditseffectivenessasasimpletooltopredictwaterquality
parameters and for onsite water quality parameters’ evaluation. The chapter titled
“Investigating the Impacts of Dredging on Improving the Water Quality and
CirculationofLake MarioutviaHydrodynamics” presents theresults ofhydrody-
