<\/a> The government will apply tighter water-saving measures to mitigate the impact<\/strong> of the second filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)<\/strong>, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told Ten TV (watch, runtime: 15:22<\/a>). The Aswan High Dam reservoir should temporarily compensate for the shortage caused by the GERD\u2019s filling, Shoukry said, and Egypt is \u201cconfident\u201d the filling will not affect its water security. Egypt will not spare any effort in defending its water rights if Ethiopia takes unilateral action that harms its share of the Nile\u2019s waters, the FM said, though escalations would be dependent on whether the filling materially negatively affects our water supply.<\/p>\n

The government had announced a <\/strong>USD 50 bn water saving plan<\/a><\/strong> in 2019 <\/strong>focusing on promoting modern irrigation methods and the cultivation of non-water intensive crops. In the coming year, the government plans to expand irrigation networks, make better use of rainwater, and install utilities in unserved areas in its bid to reduce water waste, Water Resources Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ghanem told us last year<\/a>. The government is also spending EGP 134.2 bn on building new desalination plants to address our water needs. We took a deep dive into Egypt\u2019s water network in a 3 part series of Hardhat here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egypt is hoping for an expanded role for international observers once negotiations resume<\/strong>, Shoukry said, without specifying when that might be. Egypt is waiting on an invitation from the chair of the African Union for another trilateral meeting, Shoukry said, expressing the hope that the participation of other bodies will pave the way for more effective negotiations. The meeting could happen \u201cin the next few days,\u201d Ala Mas\u2019ouleety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa suggested (watch, runtime: 2:55<\/a>). As one of the proposed observers, the US said earlier this week that it supports<\/a> the resumption of negotiations between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, but isn\u2019t on board with Cairo and Khartoum\u2019s proposition<\/a> that it plays a mediating role.<\/p>\n

The FM reiterated Egypt\u2019s desire to reach a binding agreement with Sudan and Ethiopia<\/strong> on the filling and operation of the dam, though Addis Ababa has insisted it will proceed with the dam\u2019s second filling<\/a>during the rainy season this summer, with or without an agreement.<\/p>\n
