EGYPT: Hassan Allam builds an irrigation system in Toshka

As Egypt rehabilitates its irrigation canals, the government is launching a new project to lay 265 km of irrigation networks in Toshka. These are small water pipes that will irrigate crops in this very arid area of the New Valley governorate, with a view to a more targeted distribution of the resource. Recently, the country of the Pharaohs has chosen to cement its irrigation canals to avoid the complete absorption of water by the very dry soil.
