Irrigation Minister: Water share drops below poverty line
The Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Dr. Hani Sweilam, stated that the per capita water share in Egypt has decreased to less than 500 cubic meters annually, which is below the global water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters. This decline is due to population growth rather than a reduction in water allocations. He also added that the government has invested in projects for water recycling and improving the efficiency of the irrigation system, along with implementing land reclamation projects in Sinai and the Delta. Additionally, the use of the High Dam's water for agriculture and local water recycling has been undertaken.
