Water Minister on Drought Risks and Dam Status
The Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Hani Sweilam, stated that it is difficult to determine whether Egypt will experience a dry season or water scarcity from now on, as forecasts depend on weather data and actual events on the ground. He pointed out that the "El Niño" phenomenon is natural and may lead to an increase or decrease in rainfall, with global temperatures expected to rise this year. He confirmed that rainfall rates on the Nile River, Egypt's primary water source, vary from one season to another; the White Nile season has been above average, while rainfall in the Ethiopian plateau has been below average so far. He explained that the final picture will become clear by the end of the flood season, between August and early October. Egypt has not yet headed toward drought, and he assured that the storage of Lake Nasser is sufficient to face any conditions. The dam is in its best water condition and can manage various scenarios.
