Abstract

The study aims to study a proposed economic study for the use of treated wastewater cultivation of wood forests and to benefit from their production in many industries. The treatment of wastewater and its use for irrigation is an important option for the water source, The nutrients needed by plants are fertilizer, and the re-use of treated wastewater is one of the most widely used water-use methods due to the decline in fresh water.
The use of non-traditional water resources is one of the main tasks of all those interested in development in Egypt, through the expansion of agriculture in the Sahara Desert for the production of timber to increase the burden on the import bill and add new land outside the valley and delta without using traditional water sources for irrigation.
The researchers followed the descriptive method in the analysis by means of data, information and statistics related to the subject of the study. The sample items were distributed according to gender (males,females), Educationallevel (university qualification above, intermediate qualification, intermediate and lower qualification, illiteracy),age group and administrative level (higher, middle, executive), And the number of (150) single. The statistical method was used to select the measuring tools and verify the validity of the hypotheses using the appropriate statistical methods and to derive the results by interpreting them.
The main Results of this study are:
1. Utilization of treated water in the field of woodland forestry produces economic, social and environmental benefits that contribute to the sustainable development of marginal and untapped desert areas.
2. Wastewater management can be improved through improved institutional policies and financial mechanisms.
The main recommendations of the study:
1. Encouraging investment in the cultivation of woodland forests and presenting the proposed models to investors.
2. The need to expand the establishment of purification plants and treatment of wastewater for reuse as a non-conventional source of water in accordance with their quality and so as not to cause any health or environmental damage so as not to be affected by human health and then its productivity.
