In many situations in various countries wastewater is simply too valuable to waste. The Mediterranean countries are characterized by a severe water imbalance, mainly in the summer months, especially those located in the North Africa and Middle East region. This imbalance in water demand versus supply is due mainly to the relatively and uneven distribution of precipitation, high temperatures, in...

alcohol production from molasses can lead to large amounts of wastewater that cause serious environmental concern. it is characterized with extremely high organic loading rate, high turbidity and dark brown color .composting this kind of wastewater is a biothermal aerobic process that during composting heat generated by the composition of the organic material reduces the moisture content of the...

Water is one of the most valuable and necessary resources on this planet, and the demand rate is increasing greater than the supply rate. In response to rapidly growing water needs, we must become more efficient with our water usage. As agriculture is one of the primary uses of potable water across the globe, increases in efficiency in this aspect can have substantial impact. Smarter management...

wastewater contains many organic and inorganic contaminants that can cause serious damage to the environment and health of people, therefore, they have to be eliminated before being downloaded into sensitive areas. different methods of wastewater purification have been used for contaminants removal. however, they present some technical and economic limitations. thus, new methods of nutrients re...

The international society focuses on the environment protection and natural energy sources control for the global cooperation against weather change and sustainable growth. The study presents the overview of the water shortage status and the necessity of wastewater reuse facility in military facilities and for the possibility of the introduction, compares the economics by means of cost-benefit ...

BACKGROUND The scarcity of water supply in many arid regions, combined with the need for disposal of large volumes of wastewater, has led to an increased use of recycled water for landscape irrigation. Although this practice has been employed for decades in many parts of the world, public health officials recently have begun to express concerns about the potential for wastewater-derived trace c...

The Nile River provides nearly 97% of Egypt's freshwater supply. Egypt's share of Nile waters is fixed at 55.5 billion cubic meters annually. As a result, Egypt will not be able to meet increasing water demand using freshwater from the Nile and has been developing non-conventional wastewater reuse strategies to meet future demands. The USAID Mission in Cairo began promoting strategies for water...

In order to observe the impact of different water compositions on sludge dewaterability, assessments of floc sizes using a particle size analyzer and of sludge dewaterability based on the capillary suction time (CST) test were carried out. Synthetic raw water had small floc sizes, and synthetic domestic wastewater had both larger median floc sizes and a better correlation between sludge dewater...
