**3.5 Egypt**

The Egyptian government (Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities) has published the Egyptian Code, with two versions, for treated wastewater (TWW) reuse (code 501, 2005, and 2015). The 501 code in the 2005 version classifies the TWW into three categories, whereas four categories were proposed in (ECP 501, 2015) based on the treatment level. In each category, the Egyptian Code specifies the crops that can be cultivated. In general, the Egyptian Code prohibits the cultivation of raw vegetables, such as cucumber and tomatoes, using TWW [53].
