Master plan study for the rehabilitation/replacement of major hydraulic structures on the Nile

November 2009 - The Government of Egypt received a €1.4 million grant to finance a study meant to assess and design improvements of major Egyptian hydraulic facilities and contribute to the implementation of Egypt’s Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) plan. The IWRM plan aims at improving water distribution and allocation efficiency and reducing the risks of flooding and damage to life and property in case of the failure of hydraulic control structures in the country. The study will also lead to the preparation of a capital investment project for a priority major hydraulic structure identified under the study.
