Egypt unveils strategy to adapt to water shortages
With a growing population, limited water resources, and the prospect of a decreased annual share from the Nile River, Egypt finds itself obliged to revert to water-saving agricultural practices.
CAIRO — Egyptian authorities have disclosed a new strategy to conform to limited water resources amid expectations of a reduced annual share from the Nile River because of the dam constructed by Ethiopia.
Egypt's Agriculture and Land Reclamation Minister Al-Sayed al-Quseir has said that his country's farmers would have to limit the cultivation of water-intensive crop species, including food grains and cash crops.
