Egyptian Water Resources Minister Hossam Moghazi urged the Nile Basin countries to understand Egypt' stance as it depends on the Nile water to meet 97% of its needs.
Speaking during a meeting with his Nile Basin counterparts in Khartoum on Saturday on the sidelines of a Nile Basin Initiative extraordinary conference, Moghazi said Egypt's water resources are facing challenges with the country's growing population and climate change.
