To plant tree forests using treated wastewaterThe methods of physical and economic evaluation of unconventional water were used in the cultivation of jatropha trees through some economic and financial criteria, such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and rate of return to costs (B/C), in addition to conducting a sensitivity test. To determine the sensitivity of the proposed return.The ability to cope with market fluctuations, especially in terms of costs, was also demonstrated by conducting a sensitivity analysis. The study recommended the need to expand Jatropha cultivation by using treated wastewater due to its positive effects on the environment and increasing national income.  UR - https://jes.journals.ekb.eg/article_271071.html L1 - https://jes.journals.ekb.eg/article_271071_a366533b3ea5c467bc128bbb26071f50.pdf ER -
