Great Nile Dam to Transform Egypt as Work Begins
The cornerstone of a mile long dam between Assouan and Cairo was laid by the Duke of Connaught with Egyptian pashas. The project promises a vast irrigation system turning arid desert to farmland, creating a 140 mile long lake and altering Egypt’s geography and economy. 5,000 natives and 500-600 European workers toil at the site as foundations are prepared for a structure that will allow gates to control floodwaters and enable year round irrigation.
