Investigating the Challenges Facing Drainage Water Reuse Strategy in Egypt Using Empirical Modelling and Sensitivity Analysis

Abstract: This research investigates the challenges facing drainage water reuse (DWR) strategy in Egypt using empirical modelling and sensitivity analysis. An empirical model, that can describe the relationship between the amount of DWR in the Nile Delta and its major challenges as predictor variables, was developed. A correlation was carried out followed by multiple regression analyses. In addition, sensitivity analysis was performed to detect the most effective challenge.It was found that some of these predictors are … Show more

“…The government intended to practice drainage water reuse since 1928, when it constructed the first of many pumping stations that lift drainage water from drains and place it into delivery canals (Abdel Ghaffar and Shaban, 2014). However, massive reinjection of drainage water from main drains into main canals and later from secondary drains to secondary canals started some 30 years ago.…”

“…However, the unofficial use of drainage water by thousands of individual farmers complicates the aggregate effort to manage salt balance in the delta (Wichelns and Qadir, 2015). In addition, the disposal of untreated or inadequately treated wastewater into drainage canals prevails due to limited capacity for wastewater treatment in several areas with large-scale urbanization and industrialization (Abdel Ghaffar and Shaban, 2014). These practices have serious implications leading to water quality deterioration and land degradation.…”
