Water Released Behind High Dam Reaches Highest Rate

The water released behind the High Dam reached its highest, which is 260 million cubic meters daily, said Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Hisham Qandeel. This is enough to meet the needs of drinking water and provide summer agricultural demands of cotton, corn and rice, he said in statements on 08/06/2012. The Nile is the main source of water in Egypt, Qandeel asserted.
