Abstract

This chapter presents the 2017 state of water in Egypt. It provides information on the corresponding balance of water resources and uses in Egypt in light of the water scarcity situation. It provides views on the implementation of the water-energy-food nexus approach in Egypt. It also addresses the challenges facing Egypt’s dependency on the transboundary water resource of the Nile, and the dependency of Egypt on the use of non-conventional water resources and reuse of agriculture drainage and wastewater. This chapter highlights the role of virtual water imports in achieving Egypt’s food security. It touches upon the urban water tariff system. It reflects on existing water policies and provides recommendations for water policies that would achieve quick wins in the future.
