Where is the fresh water coming from?

  Apparently treated agricultural wastewater. I would never have guessed that. https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/04/egypt-plans-new-delta-boost-food-security https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/04/egypt-plans-new...

  Visited egypt recently. This project originates from upper egypt's Lake Nasser (near Abu Simbel) which is a very large water body.

    Are you sure you're talking about the same project? That contradicts the maps others have posted in this thread [1], and would also be way longer than 114km to reach the New Delta.
