Why Egypt is Building a New Delta

Egypt is literally rewriting its geography. In the middle of the Western Desert, a "New Nile" is being carved out of the sand to create a second Delta. But how is it possible to turn 2.2 million acres of barren wasteland into a lush agricultural powerhouse? In this video, we dive deep into the engineering marvel of the New Delta Project. We explore the construction of the 114km-long artificial river, the record-breaking water treatment plants, and why this $5.2 billion (160 billion EGP) investment is critical for Egypt’s food security in the face of a growing population.
