Kafr El Shekh Wastewater Expansion (KESWE)

About this project

The general objective of the project is to improve health standards for residents in Kafr El Shekh Governorate, the quality of irrigation water, as well as the environmental quality of the Nile, Lake Burullus, and the Mediterranean Sea. Investing in wastewater infrastructure will provide first time sanitation services to approximately half a million consumers.
