The open plan 2 It is a plan that its streets do not connect with highways, and ended with a large or small complex, it has one owner or group of owners represented by one person of legal entity, (developer-owner) assumes works of operation and maintenance for all facilities and assets of services of sanitation. The closed plan 3 It means residential, industrial, commercial or common complex, military cities, universities, or any facilities that lead to general or private activities, whether it is public or private and its daily water consumption is more than 500 m3. Large complex 4 It means residential, industrial, commercial or common complex, military cities, universities, or any facilities that lead to general or private activities, whether it is public or private and its daily water consumption is less than 500 m3.

Greywater recycling 7 separating gray water in all buildings and facilities of the plan and collecting it outside with a separate network, it is processed in a common processing unit and used in the site, whether inside and outside the buildings. cumulative graywater system 8 Gray water separating in large buildings, treatment, reuse at the building level, according to the nature and type of each building and the number of toilets in it. Individual system for greywater 9 It is residual material resulting from the treatment of water sanitation. sludge 10 It is a policy to guide and restraint urban development by putting appropriate boundaries for the settlement of urban activities and accommodating urban growth over a specific period of time and public services providing and facilities to achieve the highest level of economic efficiency of the available resources to reach the optimum size for towns and villages according to the guidance of the urban strategy.
