Ex-Water Minister Warns of Nile Shortage
The article discusses warnings from former Minister of Water Resources, Dr. Mohamed Nasser Allam, regarding Egypt's water crisis. He pointed out that the per capita water share has fallen below 500 cubic meters annually, which is below the guaranteed water security threshold, threatening food security, the economy, and sustainable development in the country. He emphasized that addressing the water shortage challenge requires working to increase water resources by exploiting wasted resources, developing new sources, reducing losses, and protecting Egyptian water rights from Ethiopian statements, which he considers as "provocations." Allam also proposed investing in lands surrounding lakes to promote economic development and reduce environmental and health impacts, stressing the importance of adopting a comprehensive plan to ensure the sustainability of water resources amid population growth and economic expansion.
