During the meeting, President El-Sisi was briefed on studies into making use of wastewater in western Suez, in addition to developments in utilising agricultural run-off expected to be provided from Bahr El-Baqar wastewater treatment plant, which will have a direct impact on the national project for the comprehensive development of Sinai, presidential spokesman Bassam Rady said. The meeting touched on the status of a number of projects carried out by the Armed Forces Engineering Authority across the country, notably the Delta Misr project for agricultural production, and the New Administrative Capital project.
