Youth participation in local environmental development in the Eastern Desert - Greywater reuse for irrigation in Al Dulail city schools

Purpose

Using an alternative water resource for irrigation

Activities

To implement our initiative we first conducted several training workshops for school students in a certain school, the training included topics on team building, conflict resolution and finally a special training lectures on the concept of water reuse and Grey water. After finishing training we located the site Grey water system will be built (beside water cycle) to transport water from sinks into a special system in order to filter and use it for irrigation.
