Egypt is Constructing a Massive Pumping Tower, Diverting OUR Nile Water Unilaterally 💧🌍

My team has uncovered troubling developments in Egypt's New Delta Project. Through reports and satellite imagery analysis, Egypt is constructing a massive pump station to divert Nile water deep into the arid Western Desert unilaterally and without regional consultation. The coordinates we identified📍30.1848, 30.9978—reveal sprawling infrastructure designed to exploit shared resources unchecked.

The team shows multiple pumping stations along the path, with aqueduct systems channeling water through the harsh desert using gravity. You can see for yourself in the attached images. These developments raise serious questions about Egypt's transparency. How can they justify opposing the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam while quietly expanding water-thirsty projects like this?

🚨 Egypt's Contradictions Exposed:
1️⃣ 2.2 Million Acres Reclaimed:
The New Delta Project spans 2.3 million acres, driven by an artificial river stretching 114 km, funneling water above the Nile's natural flow.
2️⃣ A Drain on Shared Resources:
Egypt taps the Nile's Rashid Branch (10M m³/day)and relies on the Al-Hammam Plant (7.5M m³/day), alongside groundwater irrigation for 450,000 acres—despite severe salinity risks.
3️⃣ Huge Costs, Questionable Gains:
The project costs 160 billion EGP (~$10.2B USD). Although Egypt claims a $3.5B annual wheat import reduction, the environmental toll may outweigh the benefits.
4️⃣ Wasting Water While Complaining:
In 2022 alone, 25–40B m³ of water was wasted in the Toshka project. Meanwhile, 30–40% of the Nile Delta's soil is salinized, and sea-level rise pushes saltwater into aquifers.
5️⃣ Lake Nasser's Hidden Extraction:
Reports suggest 7.99B m³ of water are drained annually from Lake Nasser—kept off the books while Egypt cries "water poverty" in international talks.
6️⃣ Selfish, Unilateral Policy:
Selfish, Unilateral Policy: Egypt blocks Ethiopia's efforts to harness the Nile for development but monopolizes the river for itself. How long can Egypt take the lion's share while offering nothing back?
🔚 The Bottom Line: Egypt's New Delta Project exposes blatant water hypocrisy. They waste the Nile's resources to fuel self-serving expansions, all while blocking Ethiopia's rightful use. With unchecked diversions and billions of cubic meters wasted annually in projects like Toshka, how much longer will the Nile Basin nations tolerate Egypt's selfish water policies?

It's time the world recognized Egypt's double standards. Ethiopia and other Nile Basin countries must stand firm and demand fair water-sharing practices. If Egypt can bleed the Nile for artificial rivers, Ethiopia deserves the right to use it for sustainable development.
