World's largest water desalination, drainage station completed in Egypt

Egypt's government has defied economic challenges by executing groundbreaking projects that have impressed the world, drawing attention to Egypt's current strength amidst global economic conditions.

Among these major projects witnessed by the New Republic since President Sisi took office is the water desalination and agricultural drainage projects, led by the Delta Station, implemented by an Egyptian-foreign alliance comprising Arab Contractors, Orascom, and Matito Company.

The Delta Station project is a monumental endeavor in the agricultural sector, focusing on waterways and sewage in the Hamam area on the northern coast. With a capacity of 7.5 million cubic meters of water continuously utilized for Egypt's security, agricultural runoff in the northern Delta will be collected and transported to the sewage water station through a 120-kilometer-long pipeline.

The aim is to reclaim and cultivate 500,000 acres in western Delta, expanding the agricultural area across the country east of the Western Desert and establishing new agricultural and population communities relying on agricultural production and manufacturing.

Additionally, the new Delta water station project aims to significantly reduce pollution levels in Lake Mariout and the Mediterranean coast, creating an area suitable for agriculture and developmental projects in various fields.

The new Delta project effectively activates the rise in elevation from the Delta's river area and drainage channels through redirecting sewage and floods that contribute to inundating interest areas in the Beheira Governorate towards the new Delta area. During rainy seasons and floods, the project also enables the enjoyment of high dam irrigation water taste as the new Delta project absorbs this surplus water.
