The construction of the Bahr Albaqar wastewater treatment plant is part of Bahr Albaqar drainage project, one of the most important projects under the US $1bn Sinai Development Program. Bahr Albaqar wastewater treatment plant is the largest in Egypt and one of the largest in the world. Upon completion, it will have the capacity to treat up to 5,000,000m3 of water on a daily basis. The project is intended to increase the agricultural area in Egypt, particularly in Sinai Peninsula by supplying treated water to 330,000 feddans east of the Suez Canal and to 70,000 feddans currently under cultivation in Sahl Al Tinah and Qantara Sharq. Subsequently the total land for cultivation will rise up to 400000 feddans. The project will be a boost to the Egyptian economy by being a major supplement into the increment of the quantities of export and reduction of imported agricultural products, creating new business opportunities and over 40,000 jobs in the fields of agricultural manufacturing, animal production, management of the transport system, water treatment, the purification of tunnels and sewage, as well as in building and construction work.
