Egypt‑Kuwait water reuse initiatives

Overview

On 1 August 2026 Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation opened the 2026/27 water year, outlining progress on Generation 2 Water System projects such as the West Delta conveyance line (79 % complete) and two Sinai irrigation lines (about 89 % complete). The ministry highlighted modern‑technology and digital‑governance measures to secure water supplies during the peak summer season.

Later the same day, Egypt announced its broader Water 2.0 programme, including near‑completion of a 174‑km conveyance network for the New Delta wastewater plant, a 105‑km link from the Bahr El‑Baqar plant to Sinai, and the creation of a digital twin of the Ismailia Canal using satellite imagery, drones and AI. In parallel, Kuwait released bids for two large‑scale treated‑water distribution projects aimed at expanding wastewater‑to‑irrigation use for agriculture, reflecting a regional push to modernise water management, enhance climate‑adaptation capacity and secure water for food production.
