Alexandria Effluent Reuse is a key of minimizing expected climatic changes impacts through: 1- Minimize sea water soil intrusion problem. 2- Preventing flooding problems and sea pollution from pumping the mixed lake maryout water and disposed wastewater from Qalaa drain, Noubaria Drain and West treatment plant outfall. 3- Improve climatic condition of the west desert of Alexandria. The overall goal of the effluent reuse project is to catalyze change towards more sustainable urban water management in the "City of the Future

3. 1- Minimize sea water soil intrusion problem.
2- Preventing flooding problems and sea pollution from
pumping the mixed lake maryout water and disposed
wastewater from Qalaa drain, Noubaria Drain and West
treatment plant outfall.
3- Improve climatic condition of the west desert of Alexandria.
Alexandria Effluent Reuse is a key of minimizing
expected climatic changes impacts.

4. Alexandria wastewater system in the Future.
Complete reuse of wastewater effluent in arid areas of the
western desert. And be used as an effective tool to fight
desertification and solve Lake Maryout pollution problems.
Switching to Decentralization management .
Achieving balance in restoring costs of operation and
maintenance, through using appropriate technologies and
environmentally friendly methods in wastewater treatment.

5. The overall goal of the effluent reuse project is to
catalyze change towards more sustainable urban
water management in the
"City of the Future”.

6. Factors affecting the wastewater system
in the future

7. Factors affecting the wastewater system in the future
1. Population growth, city expansion and wastewater flows
2. Wastewater composition, industrial discharges and the enforced effluent
standards
3. Demand for effluent (industrial, urban and agricultural reuse; location,
required qualities and potential quantities)
4. Intrusion of saline water into the sewer system

9. Alexandria city is expected to face the following challenges:
• Water Demand Increase (population, economic, industrial and social activities).
• Semi-arid zone (little rain fall 150-200 mm/year).
• Limited groundwater Potential (Fresh, 3 million m3/year).
• Down stream main irrigation system.
• Water quality degradation (44% Industrial Activities of which 60% is petro-
chemical Activities)
• Climate Change (sea rise, 19 km2, 1.5 million person , 30 million US$ …..)
Therefore, it is important to en light “ Effluent Reuse”
