The Politics of Water in Egypt

The worst I've ever seen is that people in Jeddah in Saudi where water is sold at a 99% subsidy, so it's extremely cheap. At one point, they were up to 20 days without water and then they would get water for some time during the 21st day. It was just a political issue. They'd rather just make people do without water now and then. Hopefully for a fixed amount of time. Not all day, but just a little bit. This happens in, so you mentioned the statistics from Cairo. Why isn't Egypt draining the Nile doing the things that San Diego and Las Vegas are doing, taking some Mediterranean water, desalinating it.
