During the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), which was held in 1992, the General Assembly adopted March 22 of each year as World Water Day.
Egypt played a pivotal role in advancing the water agenda at the United Nations, stresses the necessity of adhering to the relevant principles of international law, most notably the rule of not causing harm to the water uses of countries riparian to international rivers, and the principle of prior notification and consultation.
These challenges require strenuous efforts to confront them at all levels
First: At the societal level, by increasing citizens’ awareness of the importance of rationalizing water and preserving it from all forms of waste and pollution.
Secondly, at the executive level:
In 2020, Egypt launched the first integrated water policy strategy for managing water resources until 2050, its implementation is based on the theory of ‘integrated water resources management,’ and is implemented jointly by multiple ministries and
entities.
Egypt began implementing these policies through the implementation of many national projects, the most important of which are:
– Lining the porous clay canals that were built since the era of Muhammad Ali.
– Converting flood irrigation to drip irrigation.
– Redrawing the Egyptian agricultural policy in some water-consuming crops such as sugar cane, rice and bananas.
– Developing water resources through desalination of seawater.
