Egypt Aims to Secure Water for Farmers
Egypt is facing a severe water crisis due to a deficit of approximately 54 billion cubic meters annually. The country relies heavily on the Nile River, accounting for 98% of its water sources, and its share is impacted by the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which stores around 74 billion cubic meters of water and refuses to sign an agreement regulating the dam's filling and operation. The Egyptian government is making significant efforts to improve the irrigation system, modernize methods, and reduce water loss, focusing on implementing modern irrigation techniques and expanding water recycling. These measures aim to address water challenges and protect its resources, especially amid competition with Ethiopia and economic challenges associated with updating small-scale farms.
