Umweltaspekte

The objective of the project is to provide first time sanitation to residents in three rural districts (Motobas, Desoq, Burullus) of the Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate that have yet not been provided with such services, thus improving health standards for its residents, the quality of irrigation water, the environmental quality of River Nile, Lake Burullus and, ultimately the Mediterranean Sea, as well as further sustaining fish farming in Lake Burullus. These positive impacts will also support employment creation, both directly during construction and operation of the project, as well as indirectly, notably in fish farming and agriculture, as well as tourism on the Mediterranean coast.
