Description

Thanks to the Nile, around which Egypt built its culture, Egyptians know that only an abundant supply of water defends it against the desert. This is why the authorities launched the Toshka Project which brings water from Lake Nasser via a long aqueduct to a vast depression to the north of the lake. Over 15 years, the project has led to the creation of an artificial lake and a doubling of the agricultural area of Egypt.
