Alive Project Sanitation System   Non traditional
sanitation system (low cost) which is implemented
by Alive project in the villages is one of the
useful vital project components that has many
development aspects.  Environmental health
aspects -   Avoiding the environmental
pollution and eradicating epidemic
diseases. Social aspects - Strengthening the
concepts of participation and volunteering in the
favour of the village linking the families
with the government. Economic aspect -  
Investing the human power creating temporary
job opportunities through the project.
-  Providing households with quality sanitation
services with a total cost of 1000 EGP per the
household.

• Treatment stages consists of two stages -
• Initial treatment
• The final treatment

(1) Initial treatment The septic tank is
considered as the main and first stage of the
initial treatment , where consists of three
rooms.The first room is the retention room, where
the treatment depends on keeping of water
organic items in it from 3 to 5 days which is the
necessary period for the work of anaerobic
bacteria to analyze the solid substance to move
the water to the last two rooms which are used as
up flow gravel filter to filter the water coming
from the primary treatment room and complete the
treatment operation by forming bacterial medium
around the filter gravels which carries out
breaking the organic loads in the water coming
from the first room.

(2) Final Treatment Stages
After completion of the filtering in the up flow
gravel filter , the initially treated water goes
through a natural descent networks to the main
line of the village then to the final stage of
treatment, which goes through the following two
stages
9
First stage
Filtration stage throughout using of breaking
graded limestone that works to increase the
filtration to reduce stuck items organic
loads.
10
Second stage
It is the final last stage where the coming out
water passes from the limestone up flow filter
to gravel bed hydroponics before going to the
drain.
11
Gravel bed hydroponics description
It is a waterway that is constructed at the end
of dismissal line that is normally consists of
watercourse of two channels to operate one
channel during the other channel maintenance with
the depth of about 40 cm and the filtration
medium with the depth of 40 cm where the gravels
cover the water surface in the model under the
surface or the water covers the gravels surface
in the surface model , the choice of the model
the model depends on the organic loads the
plants kinds with considering that choosing the
plants that its roots contains Rhizome from the
surrounding environment like the papyrus reed

The role of plants in the treatment
The role of plants in the treatment  The
treatment is done by the transfer of oxygen from
the roots where the oxidation of organic
substances by the plants roots that carry out the
treatment getting rid from S.S. B.O.D. and
also the nitrogen through the absorption of
organic substances where the treated water pours
in the public tanks with taking the samples
continuously to adapt the specifications for the
leaving water.

Alive project Water system

Introduction Providing households in the
villages with pure drinking waters with high
quality and adequate quantity is one of the most
important activities of Alive project, to achieve
these activities the following tasks are on going
24
Building constructing 5 water plants for
surface treatment from its natural surface
resources using chemical natural methods to
improve the quality of water . high capacity
pumps are also installed to pump the water with
adequate quantities to cover their main
requirements with capacity of 200 m3/hr to serve
a population of 226.000.
25
Building constructing 2 water stations for
wells treatment by removing manganese iron
minerals that harm the human health and then
pumping the water in adequate quantities with the
capacity 70 m3/hr to serve a population of 77.000
26
Capacity building of trained qualified team
works is considered one of the main reasons that
affect the efficiency of the work in the
stations for that those labors will be trained
on maintenance methods emergency cases to
guarantee the quality of water .
27
Finishing the construction, these stations will
be managed by the Beni Suef water company they
will be fully responsible for the maintenance.
28
Capacity building of the community development
associations women groups to work side by side
in cooperation with the operation maintenance
team works in the water plants and sustainable
monitoring to the execution , treatment process ,
maintenance the station cleaning.
29
Implementing of public network constructions in
some villages renovating some water public
networks and supplying 1160 households with pure
water with participation of the local community
through their contribution in kind money for
connecting the water in cooperation with Beni
Suef water company the local units.
30
Providing loans to the community development
associations carrying out 9000 clean water
connections with cooperation with water economic
organization local units.
31
Enhancing women participation in the community
practicing their rights to obtain pure water with
high quality in accordance to the health
standards as well as environmental awareness
water rationalization
