Egypt has allocated 236 million Egyptian pounds to support the National Organization for Potable Water and Sanitary Drainage’s (NOPWASD) plan to provide electricity to the Bahr El-Baqar wastewater treatment plant, according to the Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Hala El-Saeed,.

The world’s largest sewage water treatment plant will produce 5 million cubic metres per day to cultivate 330,000 feddans in East Suez Canal, in addition to 70,000 feddans currently being cultivated, El-Saeed said.
