Deputy urges expanding wastewater reuse in Egypt
Representative Eid Hammad emphasized that expanding the reuse of treated wastewater and industrial water is a crucial strategy to address water scarcity challenges. The goal is to maximize the benefit of every drop of water amid rising demands for agriculture, industry, and urban development. He stressed the importance of treating wastewater as an economic resource that can be reused rather than discarded, advocating for the implementation of a national plan that specifies appropriate uses for each level of treatment, while adhering to environmental and health standards to protect citizens and land. He called for the creation of a national digital map illustrating the quantities of treated water, the locations of treatment plants, and their connections to agricultural and industrial areas. Additionally, he proposed expanding water transmission networks and adopting partnership technologies with the private sector to manage treatment facilities. He also suggested allocating a portion of treated water for non-food crops and green spaces, with periodic monitoring to ensure water quality and the establishment of an electronic system for oversight and tracking. He affirmed that a well-organized expansion of water reuse will contribute to conserving fresh water, supporting the economy and sustainable development, reducing the burden on water networks, and highlighted the importance of coordination between the Ministries of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Industry to achieve clear timelines for increasing reuse rates and strengthening water security.
