North Sinai water meets Arish needs
The North and South Sinai Drinking Water and Wastewater Company announced that it has raised its state of readiness and emergency measures to secure the drinking water supplies in El-Arish. This step was taken due to the high waves of the Mediterranean Sea and the increased turbidity levels, which led to the stoppage of the water desalination plant "Kilometer 17." An emergency plan was implemented, which included increasing reliance on the Nile water pipelines and pumping at least 35,000 cubic meters per day, with the volume expected to be raised to 40,000 cubic meters in the coming hours. Additionally, all well stations are being operated at full capacity to provide roughly 10,000 additional cubic meters of water daily, alongside the renewal and development of the Rasisa and Masaid stations. Water trucks have also been dispatched to areas lacking water networks to ensure residents receive water, resulting in securing approximately 43,000 cubic meters of drinking water daily. The "Kilometer 17" plant is expected to resume full operation within 48 hours if weather conditions stabilize, and citizens are urged to conserve water.
