Abstract Egypt faces various challenges for managing water resources nowadays as a part of arid and semi-arid zone. The agriculture sector is the largest consumer for water supplies and the utilization of treated wastewater “called also recycled water or reclaimed water” would provide multi benefits to include an affordable solution for water shortage and an economic pollution control measure. This literature review was intended to review the current and the potential use of treated wastewater for irrigation as well as the guidelines and regulations of treated wastewater use in Egypt. The current studies indicated that with the sufficient wastewater treatment, wastewater can be the most promising unconventional source, directly or indirectly, for agricultural irrigation. |
