Potable Water Management Programme (PWMP) in Upper Egypt – Phase 1

Existing infrastructure and service provision are not able to cope with the increased water demand.

High water losses resulting from deteriorated water networks and inefficient administrative processes, reduce to a great extent the revenues of the water companies, which leads to poor maintenance of the infrastructure and hence to a poor service provision.

The state policies and strategies for a coherent development of the water sector need to improve, in order to enhance the water resource management and to ensure a quality, reliable and affordable water and wastewater service provision.
