The problem of wastewater treatment in Egypt is a twofold problem; the first part concerning the existing rural areas, the second one dealing with new industrialdomestic areas. In Egypt several agricultural projects have been initiated by the government and the private sector as well, in order to change its infrastructure. As a reliable energy source, photovoltaic pumping systems have contributed to supply water for local rural communities worldwide; they can also be implemented to solve the problem “wastewater environment pollution". The solution of this problem can be categorised as recycle process. In addition, because of regional conditions past technologies are being reexamined to select a smallscale treatment system requiring low construction and maintenance costs. This paper gives the design guidelines of a Photovoltaic Small Scale Wastewater Treatment Plant (PVSSWTP) based on technologies that can be transferred.
