Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Hani Suezim announced that digital twin application for the Ismailiye Canal was being conducted and drainage data was digitized with 55,000 kilometres of canal. The ministry is also expanding the use of telemetry to monitor water systems instantaneously.
The first phase of the digital platform, developed for private sites, is planned to inventory about 17,000 kilometres of area. The ministry also digitizes services offered to citizens, including permits for work on the Nile River and coastal areas with groundwater. Suezim said that the implementation of data security and cybersecurity standards, as well as cooperation with technology companies, should be increased.
