Saving the Nile Delta

by Mish Hamid — last modified Oct 25, 2013 01:27 PM

The Lake Manzala Engineered Wetland Project investigated the suitability of using artificial wetlands as a low-cost alternative for treating sewage from cities, towns, and villages located on the fringes of the Nile Valley and Delta, where ample land is available. The following film is taken at the Engineered wetland site. It takes us on a virtual tour around the different facilities on site.
