\nProject Overview
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

The New Deirout Barrages Project aims to improve irrigation conditions across an area of approximately 1.6 million feddans, representing around 20% of Egypt\u2019s old agricultural lands, and serving the Middle Egypt region across the governorates of Assiut, Minya, Beni Suef, Fayoum, and Giza.<\/p>\n

The project focuses on developing the barrages system and improving the control of water discharges and levels, contributing to better water management and distribution and enhancing the efficiency of the irrigation system in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
