This intervention concerns the Water Recycling in Agriculture Project - Gabel el Asfer Stage III. This project entails the construction of the next stage of Gabal Asfar WWTP (Stage III Phase 1&2). These two phases will provide an additional wastewater treatment capacity of 1,000,000 m3 /day, each phase having a treatment capacity of 500,000 m3 /day. The area allocated for these Stage III two phases is the northeastern portion of the current WWTP. The project aimed at addressing the national issues of public health and environmental protection, including the protection of the country’s finite water resources. The project consists of the following components: • Conveying tunnel from the bottom level of the FRDC to the proposed initial screw pump station with minimum slope of 0.01% with length of 130 meters. • Screw pump station with No. of 10 screw pumps (6 in operation and 4 St. By) each of capacity 2.5 m3 /sec and head of 11m. • Six coarse screens followed by mechanical fine screens with bar rakes spaced 3.5 cm equipped with the necessary isolating gates. • 2.3 km of open channel nearly rested on the ground with dimension of 5.5 m width and 3.0 m water height that flows with velocity of about 1.2 m/sec and it was left uncovered for enhancement of wastewater biological condition and to avoid septicity.
