New Delta Integrated Agricultural Project

under construction

The New Delta project is a large-scale national initiative in Egypt aimed at strengthening food security by transforming vast desert areas in the El Dabaa region into productive farmland. It involves reclaiming and cultivating nearly 2.5 million hectares of desert land using treated agricultural drainage water, along with extensive hydraulic and energy infrastructure. The project includes major industrial and logistical developments such as 12,000 kilometers of new roads, 19 primary pumping stations, and power facilities with a combined capacity of around 2,000 megawatts. Two major 150-kilometer water channels will transport treated agricultural wastewater to newly reclaimed farming areas west of the Nile Delta and south of El Alamein.
