FOOD IN AFRICA: Egypt moves to develop irrigation systems to save water, boost productivity
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- As a dry nation, Egypt relies mainly on the Nile Water and partially on ground water for irrigation. With a limited share of the Nile and mostly non-renewable groundwater, the country is moving quickly to develop its irrigation systems which would save water and increase productivity of its. cultivated lands.

from Ethiopia it is incredible how Egypt uses its limited resources and became top producing in the world. their is alot to learn from egypt.
Are you being sarcastic?
@@planerunner4020 NO, we might have dispute over GERD but still Ethiopia imports many agricultural products and medicine from Egypt.
@@tikvstok6584 true
@@tikvstok6584 that true cooperation and develop will make two country better
But dam will move us to war choice that we didn't want to happen .
@@samehmekawy1049 we can cooperate on the dam too, we want the water to turn the turbine to generate electricity and leave. the dam doesn't affect Egypt rather helps egypt. on the war, we don't need war no countries benefit from war. if you start the war we willn't watch standing, every ethiopian will unite to defend and kill every enemy.
if you came peacefully we will welcome you happily,
if you came aggresively we know how to repel that too.
war, migration, famine, poverty & unrest isn't new to us we live it. you can't threaten us.
irrigation+rainfall = evaporation + transpiration + runoff + leaching
Which one of these processes do Farmers really have control over during the growing season? If you have the ability to irrigate your sandy soils and water is cheap and plentiful, then you are fortunate and have some control on the left side of the equation. If you do not have irrigation, you must look at the factors on the right side of the equation to see what can be controlled or minimized to benefit your crop. Evaporation from the soil surface can be reduced with mulch or leaving crop residue on the soil surface. Transpiration is a function of the plant leaf surface area and the weather. Runoff is or should be minimal in sandy textured soils with high percolation rates.This leaves the leaching of water out of the root zone as the #1 controllable loss of moisture to your crop. Interrupting the downward movement of moisture in your soil by installing a "smart" barrier can greatly reduce the leaching of water and nutrients. SWRT subsurface membranes detain/retain up to 90% of irrigation or rainfall in the root zone for crop use by disrupting the gravitational movement of water in the soil while still allowing excess water to percolate and do not create anaerobic soil conditions.
I think green house system manage all these but at what cost and advantages
Frm. Kenya I'm impressed
The fact that you have a strong local production will trigger an exportation. Local crops shouldn't be sidelined for cash crop, it can definitely flow along with it and export can be generated from that

Africa needs irrigation systems for farming in rural areas
The Last Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing, so much so that a man takes Zakat out of his property and cannot find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers.( Sahih Muslim book 12 hadiz 76)
Egypt needs irrigation systems for farming in rural areas
وطمعانين كمان في حبة الميه اللي بتيجي... يلاا بقي ربنا عادل اهو بيخلصوا علي بعض
Mashallah
Better with subtitles 💞 please next time
Irrigation system is good.
Can you imagine ETHIOPIa and SUDAN do what EGYPT is doing on the river we can feed the world
That is what Egypt is trying to do Ethiopians not to use the water so we need all African country to support Ethiopia so that she can sustain and feed our people and to be a resource full to other African countries as well.we demand Egypt to stop threatening and harassing Ethiopia Again we urge all Africans to stand with Ethiopia to use her water resources we are not taking their share OK but at least they owe Ethiopia 100 years of compensation because Egypt is the biggest water resources user of Nile of Ethiopia 86% supply and 0% user right now.
@@nino8287 Israel is forcing Ethiopia to cut the Nile because it is jealous of Egypt development
@@nino8287 You Ethiopian has 20 times water as Egypt and you are not doing as Egypt not because you don’t have enough water but because your country is extremely corrupt
You have around 950 billion m3 of water every year and we take only 55 billion m3
You should blame your government for Ethiopia's status and bad water management
We wish goodness to everyone in Ethiopia but not by killing us !!
@@nino8287 stop fighting with each other frist then try to do farming.. We just want our 55 m3 without stealing one drop of water.. What Ethiopia want to cut water of Egypt besides killing its citizens.. Go and judge your corrupted thief government
here technology should be updated they are wasting lot of water instead they should practice drip irrigation this will save water and electricity along.
Commento scritto sarebbe meglio per una più agevole comprensione
Drip irrigation not irrigation

Egypt blindly expand her irrigation with out considering the Nile river is a water for 10 Countries.
All countries used the river since ancient times please don't use a cheap propaganda as a victim card.
Ethiopia provides 85% Nile’s of water but receives Zero.
Egypt has received the lion’s share. It is time Ethiopia uses its fair share of water that
originates from its own land.
-About 60% of Ethiopians don’t have access to electricity. Egypt has 100%
electric access.

Ethiopia had 12 river not only nile and used nil to agriculture 4 million hectic in dar slama near tana lake we in egypt had 8 million 50 billion water only for 100 m people while ethiopia had 50 million agriculture Field and 950 billion water but fails in management them as always history tell us ethiopia are fail in management and corruption and civil wars
Take a fast look on the map, Ethiopia has more green area than whole Egypt, your politicians are lying to you to gain power and starve the Egyptians
@@mohamedsonofkemetegypt979 uhh kemet means black land not because of the soil because the people leave this land invader
@@desmass1 you don't even know the language and what kami means 😂
Not know how to farm or use your huge amount of water.. It's not our problem.. Ask your leader who kill the Ethiopian citizens frist
Egyptians are not Africans. Stop including them in the conversation of Africa.
yeah americans are australians
😂
