The National Water Research Center (Egypt)

For these problems NWRC is mandated to provide innovative solutions and communicate them to the end users; therefore, enhance research uptake.

Its role as a national organization goes beyond the MWRI; it assists the other ministries as well as the private sector facing water related problems through facilitated access to interdisciplinary expertise.

NWRC's organization consists of 12 research institutes;[2] basically tackling the following water resources related fields: Irrigation and Drainage, Hydraulics, Hydraulic Structures and Machinery, Surface and Groundwater Hydrology, Sediment Transport, Water Quality and Pollution Control, Coastal Protection and Lake/Shore Environment, Climate Change and Geo-Measurements Analysis, Water Socio-Economics.

[3] The DRI's mission is to carry out research in support of national plans for development of land drainage in Egypt.

This subsequently results in implementation of drainage systems that are not only effective but also economically sound.
