“…These values are in agreement with results obtained by Shereif et al (1995), but are higher than the results reported by El-Hamouri et al (1995). The higher value may be attributed to the lower rate of water discharge.…”

The treatment and reuse of domestic wastewater using an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) followed by a duckweed pond (DWP) were the main theme of the present study. The ABR was fed continuously with domestic wastewater at four HRTs ranging from 8 to 24 h and corresponds to organic loading rates ranging from 0.67 to 2.1 kg COD/m 3 /day. The ABR effluent was fed to a DWP operating at 10 and 15 days. The performance of the ABR at the four HRTs gave satisfactory results. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was between 68 and 82%. Fecal coliform removal was between 1 to 2 logs. The 12-and 18-h hydraulic retention times (HRTs) gave close results, as indication of the possible selection of the 12-h HRT as the optimum operation for the ABR based on economic advantage. The ABR compartmentalized structure gave results higher than those produced by the onestage digester and similar to those produced by the twophase anaerobic digestion process. Duckweed ponds as post-treatment operated at 10 days and 15 days gave the best results at 15-day HRT, where it was possible to remove 73.4% of nitrogen and 65% of phosphorus and produce protein-rich dry duckweed of 105 kg/ha/day on average. The removal of fecal coliform (FC) in duckweed ponds was 3-4 logs. The final treated domestic sewage characteristics proved its compliance with the Egyptian standards for reuse in restricted irrigation.

“…Indeed, in most of the TWW-fed aquaculture systems, fish rely on naturally produced feed, and external feeding is not applied. 30,42,44,68,71,87,88,89,90 Further cost savings can originate from relying on existing infrastructure, by using the TWW storage reservoirs that are essential in many WWTPs for fish production. In doing so, the expenses of water and fish transportation are reduced since these reservoirs are usually adjacent to the WWTPs.…”

In recent years, aquacultural development has been increasing at a rate that exceeds all other food production sectors. 1,2 This is mainly due to the increasing demand for fish products as a preferred source of animal protein by the growing population and a relatively static level of capture fisheries. 2,3 The amount of fish produced in aquaculture in recent years has matched the amount supplied by capture fisheries, and it is predicted to surpass the fisheries-originating food in the next few years. 2 Aquacultural production is carried out in the marine environment by cage culture and by inland production. Inland aquaculture produces annually 51.3 MT of fish, which accounts for 62.5% of total
