Egypt is Building a $9.7BN New Nile Delta

Egypt is building the world’s largest artificial river, which will transform 9,200 square kilometers of desert into a new Nile Delta, helping feed its exploding population. Announced in March 2021 by Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the project will involve new canals and artificial rivers to redirect agricultural wastewater from the Nile River to a new water treatment plant. It will then be used to irrigate 9,200 square kilometers of desert into farmland, creating a region called The New Delta. The project will create a list of benefits, such as increasing Egyptian food security, exports, and helping solve the water scarcity problem. Since announced, construction has advanced significantly.
