Egypt marks October 6th with Sinai water projects
Egypt's Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Hani Sweilam, affirmed that Egypt celebrates the anniversary of the October War Day on October 6th. He also stated that the Ministry of Water Resources is participating in the celebrations through implementing development projects in Sinai to support sustainable development and food security. Among the most prominent of these projects is the Al-Bahr El-Baqar Drain Water Treatment Plant, which is the second-largest plant in the world for treating agricultural wastewater, with a capacity reaching 5.6 million cubic meters per day. This project contributes to the reclamation of approximately 270,000 feddans of agricultural land in North and Central Sinai. Additionally, 21 intakes have been established on the Sheikh Jaber Canal to irrigate about 125,000 feddans, along with ongoing efforts to complete flood protection projects through constructing 561 various facilities to ensure the protection of areas and to provide water sources for the Bedouins.
