Noureddine - confirms in his interview with 'veto' - biased to project linking the Congo River Nile, stressing that this is the solution to the water and electricity crisis in Egypt, and more detail in the following lines:
> Tell us about the project linking the Nile and Congo rivers and the extent of its ability to solve the water crisis in Egypt.
- The draft of the Congo River dream Old since 1903, when he was the chief architect of irrigation Egypt in Sudan «genocide Pasha» has noted that during the period of «Althariq» - a period of low water levels located between the months of April and May - less than the amount of water, waiting for the arrival of water from for flood Blue Nile in Ethiopia, noted the chief engineer that beside the River Nile being River prolific flow and heavy water is «the Congo River», and that if Egypt has connect the River Nile River Congo will Nile flows constantly, and when you follow the books that talked about the Congo River you introduced the idea in satellite TV, and adopted by the Geological Survey has done a raise surveyors for the region.
> What is the length of the link between the Nile and Congo rivers?
- About 600 kilometers and the water is too high and do not need to raise.
> Is the Congo agreed to Egypt to get a share of the ?
- Approved the Congo to reach Cairo Nile River Congo, in any amount of water you want, where cast the Congo River in 1284 billion cubic meters in the Atlantic Ocean, at the time of the share of Egypt and Sudan from the Nile River 84 billion cubic meters, which is a very small percentage If compared Balvaked of the Congo River, and when I spoke to the General Authority for space with President Joseph Kabila - Chairman of Congo was his response it was OK that Egypt receives any amount of water it requires any link and however sought the White Nile.
> Are there reservations in international law on linking the two rivers?
- International law stipulates that, if approved by the States participating in the river for delivery via the signing of the agreement is legally binding, as long as it is in the best interest of the states.
> How much is the cost of connecting the Nile and Congo rivers?
- Amounting to about 8 billion pounds, noted that Egypt spent $ 12 billion to create the Toshka project have not benefited from him yet.
> How will Egypt's share of the waters of the Congo River each year?
Will be Egypt's share of 60 to 90 billion cubic meters, which is twice the Egypt's share of water from the Blue Nile Basin.
> Are there difficulties facing Egypt in the process of linking the two rivers?
- Yes, be faced difficulties, the first being that Egypt wants to pass the link between the river White Nile and the Congo River entrance to southern Sudan, because if we connect through Lake «Albert», which stems from the White Nile, it means that Uganda will get a share of the water, which is does not want Egypt, because the target to be partnership Egyptian-Sudanese only been modified link to start from the Nile River white in southern Sudan, The second difficulty is that the capacity of the White Nile and the total water that reaches every year about 12 billion cubic meters of the source of the White Nile in Lake 'Albert', and the desired amount of water transport him up from 50 billion to 90 billion, despite the narrow area that can not accommodate more than 12 billion cubic meters of water.
> What is the solution?
- The solution lies in the expansion of the River Nile White and deepen, because in southern Sudan accommodate Nile area is very large, and collect swamps that we intend assembled in the channel «Gongli», which was a will in the first phase of 4 billion cubic meters, and in the second phase 7 billion meters cube of water, and in the third stage 17 billion cubic meters, but the alternative is to broaden and deepen the White Nile to accommodate the amount of water from the Congo River in the case of the completion of the link, and we could think about the implementation of the project كالنهر great set up by Gaddafi in Libya, for through the transfer of water through 3 Pipes diameter of 5.2 meters, and be buried in the area of grassland in southern Sudan, because they do not want to be a riverbed in this area impedes the pasture, because they have to build "bridges" for animals and livestock to cross them, which assigned the expenses of many, With the proliferation of tribes in abundance in this region on both sides, these pipes will carry water as an idea-Salam Canal which brought water to the Sinai, which will be by linking the rivers of the Congo and the White Nile through the city, "Nebel" - south of the capital Juba on the border between north and south Sudan - by Lake «no» in central Sudan, which is the source of the White Nile at the moment, then up water to Khartoum to be stored in Lake High Dam in Aswan, which means that Egypt may need to expand the Nile River to accommodate the amount of water, to pump larger quantities orientation the agricultural sector and the industrial and commercial facilities.
> What about the South Sudan variant position to the position of Egypt and Sudan?
- The position of South Sudan is not reassuring at all, especially after announcing its intention to sign an agreement «Entebbe» led by Ethiopia, but we need the approval of them because going through the link from its territory, in the city «Nebel» entrance to the Blue Nile in southern Sudan, South «Juba» DC .
> What is the expected size of the space reclaimed the event of increased water after linking the Nile and Congo rivers?
- Is expected to reclaim 5 million acres out of 25 million acres suitable for agricultural reclamation in Egypt, consume this space annually 25 billion cubic meters of water, as confirmed by the Geological Survey, according to studies conducted, which will lead to self-sufficiency in strategic crops that Egypt imports from abroad.
> Are there other alternatives for providing water resources?
- Must rationalize the use of water to keep it, and the development of water resources, but unfortunately all outside our borders, both channel Gongli or the Congo River or swamps «Alvaro Abu» in Ethiopia, where there are 20 billion cubic meters alone, and if the cooperation between Egypt and Ethiopia and the Nile Basin countries to collect water swamps and divided equally among them, it will lead to an increase of water resources, in addition to 40 billion cubic meters in Sudan of swamps, can benefit from them, in addition to 30 billion cubic meters around Lake «Albert», and there are around Lake «Cayoja» in Uganda 30 billion cubic meters, all of these marshes caused malaria and malignant diseases of the citizens of the countries of Africa, and we will give them service their Disposal, which also will provide agricultural land to Uganda, and we must use agricultural drainage water in Egypt, we use 7 billion cubic meters of water from agricultural drainage in Irrigation once again, of the total 17 billion, the size of agricultural drainage in Egypt, and must reach out to the 11 billion instead of only 7 for reuse in irrigation again, to make up the shortfall in the waters of the Nile Basin, in addition to project sea water desalination, which will provide a billion cubic meters cube of water, would be earmarked for hotels and factories, because the cost per cubic desalination rate of 5 pounds, which is greater than that borne by the average citizen, but the hotels earn 500 pounds of water meter per earn factories 50 pounds, which means that we can provide 10 billion cubic meters of water used in the industry for the benefit of the agricultural sector, to compensate for lack of water and increase food production, so as to avoid food gap, and you must create stations, sewage treatment, because of the amount of sewage 7 billion cubic meters, and if we set up treatment plants - the cost of the station per 2 million pounds - which will save 5 billion cubic meters of water for the benefit of the agricultural sector as well, which is enough Irrigation million additional acres, in addition to the re-treatment of wastewater from factories to re-use the water again.
> What are the returns of electricity that will be available to increase the water after connecting the Nile and Congo rivers?
- Generates High Dam 8% of the electricity in Egypt, is expected to reach proportion of hydroelectric power to generate 30% of electricity to Egypt if linking the Nile Basin River Congo through a dam in southern Sudan to provide electricity, which will help in solving their problems electrical all, as well as to Egypt, and will generate the dam, which will be held in southern Sudan, about 2.5 MW to provide 4 MW power deficit in Egypt, which is 26 MW.
> What about Israeli actions in Africa?
- Israel has attracted Ethiopia and on construction of the Renaissance Dam which is harmful to Egypt, as inciting South Sudan to sign the Convention on Entebbe and open an embassy in Jerusalem.
> Why do not rush Marina in agreement with the President of Congo, Sudan and South Sudan to the speed of linking the two rivers?
- There seems to be an agreement between the United States and Israel and the institution of the presidency and the Muslim Brotherhood that facilitates the Brotherhood to build a dam Renaissance, to assist America's Brotherhood proofed in governance and transit demonstrations June 30 next safely, which means that the Muslim Brotherhood have sold Egypt for power and prestige, and should be tried on charges of treason.
