According to Abdel Aati, the two countries requested to amend \u201ccritical areas\u201d of the report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Irrigation Ministry Spokesperson Hossam Al Imam phoned in to Al Hayah Al Youm<\/strong> to explain that ministry decided to hand over negotiations to \u2018higher authorities\u2019 \u2014 our take is that this means the presidency, the MoD and intelligence agencies \u2014 after Ethiopia and Sudan said they want to amend the report on the dam\u2019s impact studies. Al Imam stressed that Egypt has been pushing negotiations along, telling host Tamer Amin that the ministry is well aware that the issue is time-sensitive. The three countries\u2019 prime ministers and presidents are now required to take political steps to reach a final solution on the technical agreement, without which further talks are impossible, Al Imam said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iVDYQECBGiI\">watch, runtime: 4:59<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Imam also told Yahduth fi Masr\u2019 Sherif Amer<\/strong> that Ethiopia and Sudan both objected to standards the international consultants used to evaluate the dam\u2019s potential impact on downstream nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib, meanwhile, focused on Egypt\u2019s plans to fulfill its water needs <\/strong><strong>without relying on the Nile<\/strong>. Housing Ministry facilities advisor Sayed Ismail told Adib that the government is currently building three desalination plants, each with a production capacity of 150k cubic meters per day. The country\u2019s overall capacity for water desalination has increased tenfold in two years to reach 700k cubic meters per day as new desalination plants have been built (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rk4Rwd8Oll8\">watch, runtime: 6:25<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Desalination appears to be at the center of the Armed Forces Engineering Authority\u2019s <\/strong><strong>water resources development plan, <\/strong>according to the authority\u2019s boss, Gen. Kamel El Wazir, who phoned in to chat with Adib. The authority plans on establishing desalination plants along its Red Sea and Mediterranean coasts, El Wazir said.
