I have to say that the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) has done a lot in just few years.
It stopped (since 2000) any new project doesnt have an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) from being operational.
Some old industries are still polluting, and that's why the kicked out Nadya Makram Obeid from Ministry. because she had no exceptions, and she thought she is not in Egypt!
All the above is not the persisting problem of today.
The real problem is in the inefficiency of the Water Treatment Plants in Egypt now, out of corruption and lack of good maintenance!
