The main objective to reclaim and cultivate 500.000 feddans in West Delta within the framework of the state’s strategy to expand the agricultural area all over the republic, develop the Western Desert Region, and form new agricultural and population communities depend on agricultural production and industrialization.
The New Delta Treatment Plant aims on a strategic scale to remove pollution from Marriout Lake and the Mediterranean Sea coast in Alexandria and, in parallel, cultivate an area characterized by the quality of arable land and the subsequent development activities in all fields.
The New Delta Treatment Plant also contributes effectively to mitigating climate change in the existing Delta area, drains, and pumping stations by diverting wastewater and floods that contribute to the sinking of lands in Behira Governorate to the New Delta area. During rainy and flood seasons, irrigation water can be reduced from the High Dam, as the New Delta Project contributes to absorbing this surplus water.
