Abstract

This Resolution is composed of 13 articles. Article 1 describes the importance of the Nile River for Egypt with its two streams, its dams, banks, coasts, sides, plots and islands from Sudan to the Mediterranean Sea. It represents a vital facility for transportation, and for the management and preservation of water. Articles 2 and 3 entrust the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources with the control of the Nile River and all works and activities related to the development of it. Article 4 establishes the High Committee for Nile Licences at the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources. All Ministries, General Authorities and Apparatuses shall not be allowed to undergo new works or constructions in any of the zones mentioned in article 1 unless in possession of an authorization from the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources (arts. 6-8). An authorization from the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources is necessary to authorize Ministries, General Authorities and Apparatuses to sell, rent and to license works, or constructions in the zones specified in Article 1 (art. 10). Article 11 contains offences and penalty provisions.
