An Egyptian scholar proposes the construction of a “dam” at the end of the Nile estuary to take advantage of its wasted waters in the sea..

Dr. Farouk Gomaa Abdel Aal, Professor of Accounting, former Vice Dean of the Faculty of Commerce of Benha, suggested constructing a concrete dam at the end of the two branches of the Nile in “Damietta and Rashid,” before their meeting with the Mediterranean Sea, to take advantage of the huge sweet waters that are wasted in salt water.

Gomaa said that his information collected confirms that the volume of Nile water that is wasted annually in the Mediterranean waters reaches 15-17 billion m3, indicating that it can be used by making a concrete dam in an engineering and technical way with a certain height of 2-3 meters. , The end of the two branches of the Nile withdraws the wasted quantities before they are poured into the saline water.

Gomaa explained that the wasted Nile water will be pumped by giant pumps into tanks to flow through pipes and from there to new waterways in the Western Desert day and night, which will open life and new horizons for development in the desert, pointing out that pumping and withdrawing water is by a certain amount and calculations as much as the quantities that will be wasted in the sea.

He stressed that this idea, if put into practice, would provide at least 30% of Egypt's total annual share of the Nile's water, amounting to 55 billion cubic meters, expressing his hope that the idea would be admired by officials, and see its way to light, especially that it can be used to generate electricity, and development, which will have a major impact on our quiet negotiations with Ethiopia.
