Al-Salam Canal
- El Salam Canal is constructed to irrigate a new area of 250,000 ha. The canal starts upstream from the proposed Faraskur barrage on the Nile Damietta Branch; 83,000 ha are located west of the Suez
Canal and 167,000 ha east of the canal in the northern plains of the Sinai Desert.
- After the intake of the canal, it travels southeast 82 km to the Suez Canal, crosses the Canal by a tunnel and then extends parallel to the coastal city of ElAresh.
- The Canal water is going to be a mixture of fresh and drainage water. About 2.4 X 109 m³ of drainage water from the eastern part of the
Delta will be utilized annually through mixing with fresh Nile water. There will be two mixing pumping plants along the course of the canal, with a mixing ratio of 1:1. The salinity of the mixed water will not exceed 800 ppm.
