Sisi: Egypt Receives 5% of Nile Basin’s Annual Rainfall of 2,050 Billion Cubic Metres

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt receives 5% of the 2,050 billion cubic metres of rain that fall annually across the Nile Basin.

Sisi made the remarks while addressing heads of delegations taking part in a ninth session, according to the brief account of his comments.

The president’s statement drew a contrast between the total volume of rainfall across the basin and the proportion that reaches Egypt.

The summary did not identify the gathering or provide further details of Sisi’s address. It also did not explain how the rainfall total or Egypt’s share had been calculated.
