.on for more than a year

In a statement to the press, Abdul Sattar said in a press statement that he had asked the Minister ofIrrigation and the government about irrigation problems in the governorate of Minya, speci�cally the

villages of the center of Mallawi, but all of them came to no avail. He pointed out that there are completeareas that have not found water to irrigate their crops. The future of Egyptian agriculture in general, and

.in Minya in particular

A member of the House of Representatives called for the formation of a committee of consultants andtechnicians in the �eld of irrigation to �nd out the real causes behind the irrigation crisis in Minya

governorate and to develop a plan to clean the canals and install nutrients to raise the water level in a.short period of time to preserve the future of Egyptian agriculture

villages and centers of Minya. "Why do not irrigation o�cials maintain and clean these pipes to deliver.water to crops?" He asked

In the same context, dozens of farmers in the village of Jalal al-Sharqiya, south of Minya, also �ledseveral complaints against the backdrop of the interruption of the share of canals of irrigation water, and

Dozens of farmers in the eastern villages of Dirmouas con�rmed that more than 10,000 feddanssu�ered during the last year from the continuous drought of the water shortage, which serves more

than 20 villages and farms. However, the solutions by the o�cials were temporary and the crisis.returned after every breakthrough worse than it was

The farmers con�rmed that they were contacted with the o�cials of irrigation management inDeirumwas, but they denied that the water was not pumped through the main Bani Amran, and that the

water is present but weak, which angered the farmers and called for quick intervention to save the crops,pointing out that they �led several complaints to the o�cials but they will not look at them, Which led

many farmers to knock the pipes to withdraw groundwater, but it cost them huge sums under their.di�cult living conditions
