Egypt launches AI project for Nile protection
The Egyptian Cabinet has approved the inclusion of the national project to regulate the Nile River and its branches within the state budget until 2029. The goal is to restore the river's course to its natural state through the removal of encroachments, improved water management, and increased efficiency of river infrastructure. The project focuses on preparing modern digital maps using satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to monitor changes in the riverbed and banks. It also includes identifying and removing illegal encroachments and ownership, which will help reduce the water deficit—currently reaching up to 50% of the needs—and improve water management to ensure Egypt’s water security, especially in light of the threats posed by the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. This project is a response to the water crises resulting from mismanagement and changes along the river and aims to enhance Egypt’s capacity to face future challenges related to water resources.
