Nile Delta

Effective management and reuse of wastewater are essential in addressing water scarcity and promoting sustainability. Classifying drains into discharge and reuse categories can facilitate the treatment of wastewater for further usage, such as irrigation and forest planting in arid regions.

Nile Delta

To satisfy growing water demand

Increase Efficient Stormwater Use

Stormwater is rarely used in Egypt

Gets mixed with sewage water network
Infiltrates into ground

Detention Basin

Helps remove pollutants from water
Enhances water quality
Holding runoff for a short time before releasing it

Establishment of meteorological stations for measuring rainfall intensity ☄️

Aswan Dam

Urban Water Sustainability

Water conservation

Reducing water demand by using efficient:

Taps 🚰
Toilets 🚽
Showers 🚿

Urban Water System of Alexandria City

Life Cycle Assessment Method

Increasing Water Delivery

Installation of turn-outs & off takes

Replacement of old structures with new ones ✅♻️

Water Distribution

helps agriculture
