This Egyptian project, known as the “New Delta Project”, is a direct response to the increased demand for water due to population growth and adverse weather conditions.
With an investment estimated at 5 billions of dollars, New Delta Project, from Egypt, to create the largest artificial river in the world, will stretch for an impressive 114 km.
The project includes two subprojects, “Future Egyptian Projects"and "South of War Axis“, and aims to expand agricultural land in desert regions, in addition to reducing dependence on imports, impacted by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia
The Egyptian government, in collaboration with the Saudi Arabia, is working to make this dream a reality. A Saudi Arabia, with its vast financial resources, plays a crucial role in this endeavor, reflecting the growing proximity between the two countries.

O project faces challenges of engineering significant, requiring specific solutions for the interconnection of different parts of the channel.
The canal will consist of an extension of underground pipes and an open section, with construction work already underway.
New Delta Project and the generation of jobs and opportunities
O New Delta Project will not only ensure food security and reduce imports, but also create employment opportunities, boosting exports and strengthening the Egyptian economy.
The project will develop agricultural land in an area of 2,2 million hectares, using mainly water from recycled agricultural drainage and groundwater.
Egypt struggles with desertification and scarcity of water resources, with an annual water deficit of around 7 billion cubic meters.
A Great Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia threatens to further reduce the flow of the Nile River, vital to Egypt, exacerbating the water crisis.
The New Delta Project is a bold and innovative response to Egypt's growing water demands.
Complemented by measures such as water rationing, desalination and modernization of irrigation systems, this project represents a milestone in world water engineering and an example for others countries (like Brazil) face similar challenges.
As the project progresses, it will be interesting to observe its impact on the present and beyond. future of Egypt. This revolutionary venture promises not only to alleviate country's water crisis, but also serve as a model for effective water resources management on a global scale.
