In light of water security issues and Egypt’s efforts to ensure the conservation of Nile water and groundwaters, Law No. 147 of 2021 (the “Law”) aims to establish effective water administration, distribution, irrigation, and drainage systems.
The Law was issued on 16 October 2021 and entered into force the following day, repealing Law No. 12 of 1984. However, several relevant decrees and regulations remain effective until the issuance of the Law’s Executive Regulations (the “Executive Regulations”), which are expected to be issued within six months from the Law’s promulgation date.
New concepts are introduced under the Law, such as delineation boundaries, including contour lines and Nile River sanctuary lines as well as “Prohibited Territories and Restricted Areas”, which are defined as “areas in which undertaking any establishment, construction or activity is prohibited unless licensed by the Ministry”.
The Law regulates public and private facilities located inside public property concerning water resources and irrigation as described below.
The Law covers the following issues:
Penalties, such as imprisonment and fines, are stipulated in detail for each violation of the above-mentioned provisions and articles. In addition, reconciliation measures are provided for irregularities and violations that occurred before the issuance of the Law concerning unlicensed establishments and construction within the boundaries of Restricted Areas, lands privately owned by the State, by any other public or private entity or individual.
Reconciliation requires the approval of the Competent Authority. Seeking such approval, the concerned person shall file a reconciliation request within a year from the issuance of the Law and pay the required fees.

"The newsfeeds deliver us the most recent legal analysis and practical information. There seems to be a broad analysis which is beneficial to us in analyzing various areas of law. It provides a snap shot update of various legal developments and assists us in staying current. The articles are well covered and include the right amount of detail. The size and depth of articles are good too, so we can get to the information one needs very quickly. The articles are typically of high calibre and from high-calibre authors who provide sufficiently succinct articles so that one can learn much about new developments in a short amount of time. I like the format because it is easy to scan for relevant articles. It's a great tool. I like the fact you can tailor the newsfeeds by jurisdiction and work area, and only receive information relevant to your practice."
