This document discusses the marketability and reuse of treated wastewater from Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company's (ASDCO) wastewater treatment plants. It notes challenges like the distance between treatment plants and potential reuse areas. It details a pilot project with ASDCO and Alex West Housing Compound to reuse 4,000 cubic meters per day of treated wastewater for irrigation. The document also outlines options for agricultural and urban reuse of treated wastewater from various ASDCO treatment plants and proposes a public awareness project using an educational maquette and demonstration plots to showcase safe reuse.
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

Water reuse has been dubbed as the greatest challenge of the 21st century as water supplies remain practically the same and water demands increase because of increasing (1)population and per capita consumption.
Inadequate water supply and sewerage system deterioration is serious contemporary concerns for both industries and Alexandria sanitary drainage.
A VISION FOR FUTURE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT IN ALEXANDRIA ( Egypt)Helalley Helalley
After full operation of secondary treatment at the East and West treatment plants, the future production of sludge from these plants and from Amriya and Agamy secondary treatment plants in addition to the rest 14 secondary treatment plants all around Alexandria is expected to exceed than 1200 m3/d by 2015 thus the capacity if the sludge disposal site should exceed. Therefore, the future sewage sludge management represents a critical environmental issue in Alexandria, this management includes sludge dewatering, handling, transportation cost to the disposal sites and the final product marketing.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal system will be limited by the increase in sludge production and the current management system, there is an immediate need to investigate ways to establish a future management system and to demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
Currently, Site 9N the sole disposal site in Alexandria include a composting plant established when the site was initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for sludge. Consequently, land spreading of the sludge on the dedicated disposal area has ceased and all of the current production of raw sludge is now being composted using the turned windrow technique.
The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiency of the sludge management system and adopt a future vision for the Alexandria sludge system and recommend modifications to protect public health and environment.

Asopos is a river that rises in Viotia and discharges into the South Euboea Gulf in Greece, about 60 km north of Athens.Forty years ago, in 1969, through a Presidential Decree, issued by the Military Government (Junta) that ruled Greece at the time, Asopos was proclaimed a Processed Industrial Waste receiver. The river the Ancient Greeks worshiped as a god (Asopos was Poseidon’s son) was unfortunate enough to run through areas that turn out almost 20% of Greece’s total industrial production.
Today, Asopos’ waters receive waste from hundreds of industries, situated at a nearby Industrial area. Nevertheless, only a slight amount of water reaches its estuary. The texture of the soil absorbs the largest part of the water, including all the industrial waste, and spreads it to the whole underground water. This results to a possibly irreversible pollution of a huge area with various waste, amongst which heavy metals, including the renowned due to recent publicity, Hexavalent Chromium. This is an element that causes cancer and/or mutations.
The water from the springs, the fountains and the drillings in this whole area is no longer suitable for any human use, neither drinking nor cooking, bathing and washing clothes, not even for watering plants!
Hundreds of thousands of residents inhabit the area, especially during the summer. All these people have been consuming water for years, without ever having been officially informed of the hazards, until early this summer (2007).
Recently, after 3 adjournments and a delay of 6 years, a trial took place. 10 out of 18 defendants were acquitted due to misrecorded data! For those convicted, the highest punishment was the ridiculous amount of EURO 5000 as a fine!
Various reportings have revealed that some industries open up drillings and convey inside all their waste- directly into the underground water!
We request that the Greek Government, the Greek Parliament, the European Community Authorities and every other qualified service take all necessary measures and actions in order to insure the restoration of Asopos river, as well as the indemnification of all the problems (health related, economical, environmental) the residents are facing due to this situation.

Industrial wastewater management problems in borg el arab new [compatibility ...Helalley Helalley
Borg El-Arab is a new industrial city within Alexandria containing around 1400 factory
distributed within ten industrial zones. Two years ago, the sanitary system including the
treatment plant of Borg El-Arab was handed to Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company for
management.
From the preliminary survey it was found that all factory's effluents were not complying with
the limits of Law 93 for year 1963 and the presidential decree 44 for year 2000. They dispose
their raw wastewater directly into the sewerage system, which creates a chronic street
flooding problems all over the industrial zones. As well as affecting the quality of the old
treatment plant influent located at the east of the city and the newly instructed tertiary
treatment plant.
These factories did not construct effective industrial effluent treatment systems for their
wastes, which were supposed to be constructed before getting the permission to start the
industrial activity and production. Another problem was the lack of effective industrial
effluent monitoring, and weakness of the legal power and action against non-complying
industries. Finally, there was no technical assistance system.
Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company carried out a Management system to solve these
problems through: 1) Industrial survey for each factory; 2) Periodical sampling and analyzing
program based on severity of the industry; 3) Take step by step action for non-complying
factories; 4) Assisting non-complying factories to apply pollution prevention concepts. This
system applies for old existing industries, for new ones an additional step is provided which is
they don't get a permission to start industrial activity and production unless they have
effective industrial wastewater treatment system which include pollution prevention concepts.
As a result, street flooding problems have decreased and number of complying industries has
increased.
Under these circumstances we would like to stress on the importance of applying On-line
Monitoring systems to assure effective control of industrial effluent quality 24/7.
A VISION FOR FUTURE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT IN ALEXANDRIAHelalley Helalley
The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiency of the sludge management system and adopt a future vision for the Alexandria sludge system and recommend modifications to protect public health and environment.
Paper a vision for future sludge management- paper 30 june 2010Helalley Helalley
After full operation of secondary treatment at the East and West treatment plants, the future production of sludge from these plants and from Amriya and Agamy secondary treatment plants in addition to the rest 14 secondary treatment plants all around Alexandria is expected to exceed than 1200 m3/d by 2015 thus the capacity if the sludge disposal site should exceed. Therefore, the future sewage sludge management represents a critical environmental issue in Alexandria, this management includes sludge dewatering, handling, transportation cost to the disposal sites and the final product marketing.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal system will be limited by the increase in sludge production and the current management system, there is an immediate need to investigate ways to establish a future management system and to demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
Currently, Site 9N the sole disposal site in Alexandria include a composting plant established when the site was initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for sludge. Consequently, land spreading of the sludge on the dedicated disposal area has ceased and all of the current production of raw sludge is now being composted using the turned windrow technique.

Most Urban growth is taking place in informal settlements
where government is unwilling or unable to provide wastewater
services. Effective wastewater treatment is so
expensive that is rarely achieved in practice, particularly
in the fast urban centers of developing countries. The
sewerage system must be effective and adequate enough
to receive different types of wastewater discharges. Onsite
systems must be designed for pollution control and recovery
of resources. Improved design, construction, operation
and maintenance of our onsite systems are essential,
especially the wastewater treatment plants. One of
the most important operations in wastewater treatment
and also very effective in treatment system is aeration of
sludge which occurred in aeration basins. Although the
aeration basins are reinforced concrete structures, the
corrosion has attacked them. The main objective of this
study is to analyze and defeat the cause of corrosion in
one of the largest Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) in
Egypt. A mathematical model to simulate the problem
based on governing equations of vortex motion is achieved
and a repairing technology to correct the corrosion
is proposed. Moreover, the study assists in choosing the
suitable design to avoid this problem in further projects.

Domestic Wastewater Treatment by Root Zone Technology Option: Colacassia PlantDr. Amarjeet Singh
Root Zone Technology is one of the low cost
methods to treat wastewater. With the help of this system we
can treat the Non-Point sources with best results. To achieve
this goal we have to divide the Non-Point sources into
constructed channels within the river bank followed by root
zone bed or if the Non-Point Sources is coming from natural
nallas we can provide this system within its Channel. We
have prepared channel on which I have developed the root
zone bed and have lab analysis of rector out put on number
of parameters. Flow rate and Detention time are the two
factors on which channels are to be designed. Therefore I
am changing the flow rate and finding out the change in
parameter with respect to detection time. The optimization
is when we get best result with maximum flow. I have got
satisfactory results for the detention time of Three day,
Seven day and twenty one day and Three day. With the help
of this data I have designed the root zone bed system for the
selected actual Domestic Sources.

Abstract suggestions for applying grey and black waterHelalley Helalley
Application of black and grey water separation concept is one of the effective tools to sustain a good wastewater management system. The main obstacles of applying this concept in Egypt are its difficulty to be applied in already existing communities. Thus, starting to apply in the new communities and areas were in situ sanitation is applied. This will lead to minimizing the quantities of wastewater resulting from these communities and the reducing clean water consumption which will lead to reducing costs of treatment and disposal

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

ABSTRACT
One of the main challenges that faces
Alexandria city is the shortage of water
resources especially in the west zone of the
city. So the use of treated wastewater is
one of the solutions to solve this problem as
well as the financial resources problem.
Therefore it was necessary to use
innovative
marketing
techniques
to
overcome the problems of safe wastewater
reuse and over come the challenges that
face the application of this concept.
One of the problems is that the location
of the wastewater treatment plants exists
so far from the areas that will be used in.
Another problem is marketing issues, such
as 1) The bad reputation of the wastewater
and how you can convent the client to use
it, 2) The public awareness to the citizens of
Alexandria city that they can use this water
safely in the fields which mentioned in the
Egyptian code, 3) Psychological factors that
make the people don’t be convinced to use
this water and in the same time they know
that this water is safe to use but they prefer
to don’t use it, 4) There are no motives to
make people use this water, and the most
important motive for the client to make him
use this water is the price and we are trying
to make a challenging price which to motive
him to use this water.
Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company
(ASDCO) has about 16 secondary
wastewater treatment plants producing
about 1.6 million m3 per day of treated
effluent. We made the first step in this
project which is selling the treated
wastewater that is the output of the kilo 26
secondary treatment plant to Alex West
Housing
Compound
for
irrigating
landscapes.
INTRODUCTION
The term wastewater reuse is often used synonymously
with the terms wastewater recycling and wastewater
reclamation. The most common reason for establishing a
wastewater reuse program is to identify new water
resources for increased water demand and to find
economical ways to meet increasingly more stringent
discharge standards.
The Use of treated wastewater is an attractive option as 1)
the quantity generated will rise with population and
increased industrial activity; 2) Treated wastewater could
be substituted in applications such as potential nonagricultural uses; 3) For agriculture, it can be mixed with
fresh water, thereby economizing on the use of the latter;
4) The nutrients in reclaimed water reduce the need for
applying chemical fertilizers; 5) It can serve as an
environmentally superior alternative to disposing of
wastewater in the sea or other water bodies.
However, there are risks requiring that the quality of
treated wastewater will be taken into account in deciding
appropriate uses. It is important to allow safe and
economically responsible reuse of Alexandria treated
wastewater in order to make the best use of the existing
resources and to protect the environment and human
health. Wastewater reuse can reduce Lake Maryout
deterioration, while minimizing the amount of wastewater
discharged to the aqueous environment of the lake.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
2.1 A survey was done to search for facilities or areas that
could possibly use treated effluent from Alexandria
wastewater treatment plants in any possible activities.
2.2 Survey of the wastewater treatment plants of ASDCO,
their capacities and the areas around each treatment plant
that could be considered for reuse.
2.3 Proposing a pilot project to raise the public awareness
of the young and adults about the idea of sanitation and
wastewater treatment stages.
RESULTS
DISCUSSION
3.1 Effluent demand:
3.1.1 Industrial demand:
According to our search no industries are willing to consider using
treated effluent from Alexandria wastewater treatment plants due to
the concern about the safety of using this effluent and the risk of
loosing their market.
3.1.2 Urban demand:
Only urban areas located outside Alexandria especially in arid zones
can use treated effluent in irrigating green yards (this is mainly due to
the shortage of water resources allover the year). Example: ASDCO
contract with Alex West Housing compound to receive treated
wastewater from the km 26 wastewater secondary treatment plant
(4000 m3/d) to be reused in irrigating the green areas all around the
compound. Figure (1) shows Alex West compound using treated
wastewater in irrigation.
3.1.3 Agricultural demand:
The feasibility of treated wastewater reuse for irrigation will largely
depend on Type of treatment and of industrial pollutants; Availability
of suitable areas for irrigation; Irrigation methods and soil types;
Cropping pattern; Matching supply and demand; Environmental
impacts and Costs. The current needs for all purposes at Alexandria
are fulfilled from the available resources. The required demand will
increase by 2017 to approx. 3 million m3 which should be provided
from non-regular resources like reuse of treated wastewater .
3.3 Reuse options of Alexandria WWTPs effluent:
3.3.1 Effluent form East treatment plant
3.3.2 Effluent form west treatment plant
3.3.3 Effluents form small WWTPs :
3.3.3.1 El-Agamy (km 21) WWTP
3.3.3.2 Borg Al-Arab WWTP.
3.3.3.3 El-Maamora, El-Seiouf and Abis WWTPs
3.4 Proposed public awareness Pilot Project:
To raise the public awareness of the young and adults about the idea
of sanitation and wastewater treatment stages. It consists of 2 parts
3.4.1 Educational part:
To construct a Maquette demonstrating the journey of wastewater
starting from houses entering the public sewerage network and
ending with arrival of the sludge to site 9N to be treated and the
treated effluent reaching an agricultural land where it is used in
irrigation. Figure (3) presents a similar pilot project.
3.4.2 Field part:
This part requires allocating a piece of land, divided into three parts.
1st ) constructed with a greenhouse for planting some ornamental
plants, figure (4), 2nd ) grown with artificial grass, 3rd ) planted with
types of rare palm trees that have fast economic return. These 3
parts will be irrigated using treated wastewater and fertilized by
composted sludge as an organic fertilizer produced out of
wastewater.
A laboratory will be built near this area to provide periodic analysis
of both soils and plants to determine the effect and long term effect
on using both treated wastewater and treated sludge, and the validity
for reuse.
This situation could change under the case if there would be a
decrease in Alexandria’s share of water resources. Thus, it would be
worth to reuse all treated wastewater in irrigation within Alexandria.
3.2 Cultivation Options:
The substitution of domestically produced wood instead of
imported wood in industry improves the balance of payments and
reduces inflation. The Egyptian code 501/2005 discusses the
possibilities of using treated wastewater in agriculture that could help
in increasing income.
CONCLUSIONS
The plan for marketing this treated effluent could be applied as the
system (contract) already used between ASDCO and Alex West
housing compound. The contract states that the client (Alex West)
receives 4000 m3/day of treated effluent with a price of 0.25 + 10%
annual increase (the current price reached 0.33 L.E/m3 at 2011) and
the conveyance system is constructed by the client and on his own
expenses. This price 0.33 L.E/m3 is feasible for investment to any
client along the North coast as the current price of turbid water
currently reaching these areas is 0.65 L.E/m3 and with lower qualities
than the treated effluent.
