Water Recycling Technologies in Cairo Hotels: Resource Conservation and Cost Reduction Strategies
Abstract
Cairo's hospitality sector, particularly hotels, faces significant water scarcity due to limited freshwater resources and high operational costs. A survey methodology was employed, collecting data from a sample of Cairo hotels regarding their water management practices and technological implementations. The findings revealed that 70% of surveyed hotels have incorporated at least one form of water recycling technology, with greywater reuse systems being the most prevalent (45%). Water recycling technologies in Cairo hotels are effective in conserving resources and reducing operational costs, though there is room for improvement and wider adoption. Encourage further research into cost-effective scaling of water recycling projects and promote policy incentives to accelerate their implementation.
