Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation plans to expand digital twin technology to major canals across the country following its deployment on the Ismailia Canal, where real-time monitoring, artificial intelligence and drones are being used to improve water distribution.
Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Hani Sewilam ordered officials to prepare an integrated plan to extend the technology to other major canals, prioritising areas where it is most needed, the ministry said.
The Ismailia Canal project currently covers 32 branch canals, 119 drinking-water stations and 20 industrial facilities, using real-time monitoring systems to track water levels and flows around regulators, barriers and canal intakes around the clock.
Data collected by the system are being used to monitor daily water consumption and withdrawals by drinking-water stations and develop smart distribution schedules based on actual demand and priorities.
The system is intended to improve water allocation and ensure that supplies reach the ends of the irrigation network more efficiently.
