National Project
Canal Rehabilitation and Lining Project
The National Canal Rehabilitation and Lining Project is one of Egypt’s major national projects, aiming to achieve a significant transformation in water resources management and improve the efficiency of water conveyance and distribution.
Canal Rehabilitation… Towards a More Efficient Irrigation System
The National Canal Rehabilitation and Lining Project aims to improve the efficiency of water conveyance and distribution by restoring the hydraulic capacity of canals and enhancing the overall efficiency of the irrigation system.
The project contributes to improving water delivery to agricultural lands, particularly those located at the downstream ends of canals, helping to achieve more equitable water distribution and improve the level of service provided to farmers.
Main Objective
Improving the efficiency of water conveyance and distribution and enhancing the level of service provided to farmers.
Project Impact
An integrated project delivering economic, social, and environmental benefits
Economic Benefits
Improving water delivery to the downstream ends of canals, helping reduce farmers’ complaints and improve agricultural productivity, while also reducing the costs of annual canal maintenance and cleaning.
Environmental Dimension
Improving the efficiency of water conveyance and distribution, enhancing water quality, and reducing the accumulation of weeds and waste within waterways.
Improving the Efficiency of Water Conveyance and Distribution
Canal rehabilitation helps restore the hydraulic capacity of canals and improve the efficiency of water conveyance and distribution, supporting reliable water delivery to agricultural lands at the downstream ends of canals.
This is part of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation’s efforts to maximize the efficient use of available water resources and improve the efficiency of every drop of water.
Water and Climate
Strengthening Water System Resilience to Climate Change
The project represents a preventive and proactive measure that strengthens the resilience of Egypt’s water system to climate-related shocks by improving the efficiency of the irrigation system.
Climate Change Adaptation
Improving irrigation system efficiency and water management enhances the capacity of the water system to respond to climate-related challenges and shocks.
