Abstract
In the presence of over population in Egypt in the last decades, it was necessary to establish and expand new cities to accommodate this overcrowding. Hence, these new cities need water, where the Nile water budget is 55.5x109 m3/ year in Egypt and this budget is fixed. So the only option needed to manage our resources efficiently is by searching and developing other resources, like using the seawater desalination and reuse the tertiary treated wastewater to reduce the depletion of water resource-limited for future generations. The new city of Burj Al Arab is a sample of the new (residential and industrial) cities that have been studied in this report. This report develops a framework for strategic planning to support decision-making in water and wastewater infrastructure planning. That is to strengthen and expand the existing water and sanitation facilities of the Burj Al Arab city. This is to accommodate the expected population increase until 2032, with taking into consideration the comparison between the three suggested configurations of the solar photovoltaic panels coupled to reverse osmosis desalinate water system (PV-RO) and a study of the feasibility of using seawater desalination by using (PV-RO) technology as a second alternative source of Nile water. That is to supply the city with drinking water to cover future needs. This is in line with the directives of the government in Egypt.The water demands and wastewater discharges were estimated for all uses. This is by using the forecasted population census and the general plan for urban and industrial development in the Burj Al-Arab city. The laws and consumption rates concerning the estimation of water demand and wastewater discharges stipulated in the Egyptian code were applied to the design and implementation of drinking water and sanitation projects. The current situation has been assessed of drinking water and wastewater facilities in the Burj Al Arab City, and weaknesses have been identified to develop solutions within the proposed strategic planning. In this report, several different techniques and software programs have been exposed to help in selecting optimal solutions.
