Abstract—This study investigates issues related to hydrodynamics in Lake El-Burullus and flow patterns therein. Burullus Lake is the second largest lake in the northern Egyptian coast with a total area of 410 km2. It was utilized Delft3D-flow module to develop a field validated hydrodynamic model. The shallow brackish Lake is mainly affected by uncontrolled creeping of development areas and growing inflow of untreated agricultural, municipal and industrial drainage water. The developed model was used to examine a potential mitigation alternative by decreasing the pollutant loads that enter the Lake i.e. diversion of existing drains. In this fashion the creation of a new development area near-by may be feasible. In addition, the effects of hydrodynamics on pollutant dispersion either from an individual drain or all drains together. The results of this study will be the base for the water quality modeling stage. Actually, this work is the first stage of an integrated Lake management. The study concluded that the developed model efficiently simulated the hydrodynamics of the Lake which can act as an effective decision support tool for improving the environmental conditions in the surroundings
