Irrigation of forest trees with wastewater raised for fuel and timber. Growing the green belts around the cities with forest trees under wastewater irrigation also helps revive the ecological balanced and improves environment quality by self-treatment of wastewater through the application and forest irrigation. Horizontal extension is one of the main targets for enlarging the cultivated area in Egypt.
