Abstract
Subterra Constructed Wetland is a natural system for wastewater treatment which employs the existing microorganisms and reed plants in sewage treatment. This paper presents the application of Subterra in Luxor as a suitable solution for Nile cruise waste water treatment since it is easy to operate and maintain with reliable efficiency in BOD & COD reduction regardless of seasonal variations. The effluent always has a better quality than required by usual legislation allowing its re-use in agricultural irrigation purposes. It has the advantage of using local resources for construction resulting in a more economic solution. The lifetime of Subterra stations extends to 40 years and only requires little sludge removal compared with other systems. .
Keywords: constructed wetlands, vertical flow lifts, subterra system, subsoil irrigation
