Egypt’s Irrigation Ministry Says Projects Aim to Make Every Drop Count

Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has completed a range of projects to make better use of available water and improve its delivery to farms, according to the ministry’s permanent undersecretary, Engineer Hossam Taher.

Taher said the projects were intended to help narrow the gap between available water resources and water needs.

The work reflects the ministry’s stated focus on maximising the benefit of every drop, alongside improving farmers’ access to irrigation water.

His remarks did not specify the projects involved, their locations or the scale of improvements in water delivery.
