Is The Nile Running Dry?

[@cujoemblakka1041]

Egypt has other options, desalination, they can't block the development in other countries where the resoures originates. They are a ocean facing nation, use technology to open other options. Desalination.

[@joyaku8707]

Egypt whinning when unused nile water is flowing into Medterenian sea without usage. One of the failure example is Toshka dwvelopment

[@sabethiopian4657]

Why can't the Egyptian create an irrigation system instead of depending on Ethiopian dams. The important thing in africa is the people need to use birth control pills in order to reduce the population as africa faces overpopulation and poverty.

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Sab Ethiopian Very true. Well said.

[@blackbway]

you don't have money to buy food, but will spend whatever you get to buy birth control pills and condoms instead. well said.

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Anubus MaAt Large families make people poor, you idiot. And most Egyptians are poor. They will never get out of poverty if there are many mouths to feed. Condoms will prove cheaper in the long run. How will you feed your people and where will you access water when climate change bites really hard? Where will they live when most of Egypt is desert? How will agriculture survive when global warming are creating more droughts around the world? How will you feed your millions? Do you even have a brain?

[@metalgearsolidsnake6978]

The solution is difficult, but they need to adapt to the enviroenment, until new tehnology makes it cheap to remeove salt from the occean.. i guess.. but Egypt have made many mistakes, including their water electricity with causes sickness to the people..the government have alot to answer for.

[@bircruz555]

It has not sunk on the Egyptians that the train has left the station. Egypt no longer can depend on its colonial master for its water needs. Colonial paper, which Egypt invokes, is just that, paper. The upstream nation that contributes 85% of the water in the Nile, Ethiopia, was never a party to the colonial treaty imposed by Britain on its colonies, and was never bound by it. If Ethiopia could not use the Nile it is not because it was waiting for "permission" to use the river, but because it did not have the funds to build the necessary infrastructure, thanks to the Global managers of the poor - the World Bank and what have you, who blocked any funding of any project on the river. It is a brave new world order now, and it does not bode well for Egypt at all. And the chickens have come home to roost. Egypt has no power to do anything. Good behavior might earn it some points though. But it must overcome its arrogance and show humility. Mubarek was some deluded arrogant of a leader. People could read his spite from a mile away. I am afraid the population at large is no different, gauging from the talking heads in this interview.

The government has to help either way, The government stopped collecting trash about 11 years ago and left it to private companies that Robbed the people and did nothing, now even if you clean the streets no trucks come to collect it from the baskets so they just stay were they are. Aside from the fact that the government is very supportive of using plastic than other sources which makes things even worse.

Yes ; Egyptian demand is increasing day in day out. It is a paradox that Egypt is uncooperative in projects meant to develop , at least maintain , the amount of Nile water in Ethiopia . Actually Egypt is very busy and adamant engaging itself in detrimental ploys and activities against the interst of Ethiopia and its people that contributes more than 86 % of Nile water. Now it's time Ethiopia has initiated huge projects on Nile river and its tributaries . God bless Ethiopia . ✌️🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

[@metalgearsolidsnake6978]

The water problem in Egypt, because of rising sea level, and lower freshwater level! your water is the most important thing on earth! "According to the research, the basin's fertile soils are becoming less capable of producing food and fresh water because of growing salinity in the delta plain, which lies only 1 meter above sea level. The northern third of the Nile Delta is lowering between 4mm and 8 mm every year while the sea level is rising annually at a rate of about 3 mm, researchers say." Experts believe the problem is only going to get worse. "We currently have a major water deficit in Egypt, with only 700 cubic metres of freshwater per person," explains Professor Salah Soliman of Alexandria University. "That's already short of the 1,000 cubic metres per person the UN believes is the minimum needed for water security. Now, with the population increase, it will drop to 450 cubic metres per person - and this is all before we take into account the impact of climate change." That impact is likely to be a 70% drop in the amount of Nile water reaching the Delta over the next 50 years, due to increased evaporation and heavier demands on water use upstream. The consequences of all these ecological changes on food production are staggering: experts at Egypt's Soils, Water and Environment Research Institute predict that wheat and maize yields could be down 40% and 50% respectively in the next 30 years, and that farmers who make a living off the land will lose around $1,000 per hectare for each degree rise in the average temperature. www.upi.com/More-salt-water-in-Egypts-Nile-Delta-putting-millions-at-grave-risk-study-says/6081489431134/ www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/aug/21/climate-change-nile-flooding-farming www.egyptindependent.com/egypt-may-face-fresh-water-shortage-2025/ the evaporation problem is a big issue in the desert, and agriculture does not fit in the desert, unless you have technology to remove the salt from sea water?

Egypt must consider desalination plants; when other countries through which the Nile flows decide to build dams the problem that Egypt has today will be compounded. Egypt needs to look for alternative solutions and stop complaining, and forget those ancient treaties and agreements, she must move with the changes of time and events over which she has no control.
