Abstract
Shortage of irrigation water sources in arid and semi-arid regions brings out the issue of using the domestic wastewater to meet the demand for agriculture sector.
The objective of this study is to propose and investigate the most appropriate natural treatment systems that can be used in rural areas of Egypt taking into account the land requirement, initial and operational cost and effluent efficiency. In addition, the reuse potential of the effluent of such wastewater treatment systems is investigated.
Pilot scales that have populations ranged from 1,000 to 20,000 are studied with respect to natural treatment systems. The selected pilot areas are in eastern delta (Sharkeya Governorate), western delta (Behira Governorate) and average of Egypt.
