Dr. Hani Sweilim, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, affirmed that Egypt's share of the Nile waters, amounting to 55.5 billion cubic meters, represents only about 2.7% of the total rainfall that falls on the Nile Basin, which is approximately 2,000 billion cubic meters. In response to Ethiopian claims that Egypt receives a "lion's share" of the basin’s water, he explained that the reality shows Egypt depends heavily on its own water resources and the Nile River's resources, while Ethiopia possesses a vast foundation of rainfall, surface water, and groundwater. His statements indicate that claims of Egypt having a significant share are inaccurate, and the reality is that Egypt suffers from severe drought and relies entirely on the Nile's waters.
