Purpose & Principles
“Egypt was the gift of the Nile” and so it is. Egypt has a single river and one that has given its people life and civilization, thus water is synonymous with national security. The River Nile is the backbone of Egypt’s industrial and agricultural sector and is the primary source of drinking water for the population.Egypt currently relies on the Nile for 97% of its water needs, and global news is that the river is under threat. There’s been a rapid depletion of water resources at a time when the demand for water is increasing.Egypt’s population is increasing at an alarming rate multiplying the stress on Egypt’s water supply due to more water requirements for domestic consumption and increased use of irrigation water to meet higher food demands. With so many people relying on the Nile for drinking, agricultural, and municipal use, the quality of that water should be of pivotal importance. The reality is that quality of the river water is seriously threatened by untreated industrial and agricultural wastes, sewage, and municipal waste-water
Egypt has been suffering from severe water scarcity in recent years. Egypt has a water deficit over 30 billion cubic meters. Currently, this deficit is compensated by drainage reuse which consequently deteriorates the water quality. Uneven water distribution, misuse of water resources and inefficient irrigation techniques, growing population, rapid economic development, aging infrastructure, growing demand, pollution and environmental degradation, and increasingly complex regulationsare some of the major factors affecting water security in the country. With its loosening grip on the Nile, water scarcity could endanger the country’s stability and regional dominance. This puts increasing pressure on the country’s government, its organizations, companies, and people since Egypt’s future industrial, agricultural, domestic and municipal sectors is heavily contingent on the availability of water. It is imperative to act swiftly and decisively to mitigate water scarcity, implement water conservation techniques, control water pollution develop plans that would install more efficient irrigation techniques to augment its natural water reserves.
Egypt has the longest history of water management and engineering in the world and now needs to use its centuries of knowledge to meet the challenge of water scarcity. The gift that the Nile River, with all its challenges and complexities, has given to the people of Egypt, is the opportunity to be pioneers. Pioneers of innovation – to meet the increasing demand for water.
