Detailed explanation-1: -It is estimated that by 2025, Egypt’s water supply will dip below five hundred cubic meters per capita, a state hydrologists define as “absolute scarcity.” With climate change creating even drier conditions for Egypt, it becomes apparent that regional water scarcity will continue to be a chronic issue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Groundwater is one of the most important resources of water in Egypt. It ranks as the second source after the NileRiver. In addition, there are different groundwater aquifers with variable importance for exploitation in the Nile river region.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the time, U.S. groundwater is safe to use. However, groundwater sources can become contaminated with germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and chemicals, such as those used in fertilizers and pesticides. Contaminated groundwater can make people sick. Water infrastructure requires regular maintenance.
