Introduction to the new lands reclamation in Egypt and West Noubaria zone

I will show you a short presentation thatintroduce ACLIMAS project in West Nubaria , Egypt.introduce ACLIMAS project in West Nubaria , Egypt.Before that ,I should introduce a summery about landreclamation in Egypt in order to imagine west Noubariabackground as follows:N b i ff f i d lt d-Noubaria zone suffers from rare rains and salt under

ground water problems and it is located at the end of the Nile. - Its lands are higher than the sea level by about 30 to g y55m. -So many lifting stations were built to improve the irrigation in these areas.•West Nubaria Rural project working areas:•West Nubaria Rural project working areas: include 6 working zones as following:•Primary zones :Tiba zone and Entlak zone•Secondary zones :Bangar Elsokar,West Nubaria,Bostanand Hammam.
