In 2023, water use in Egypt's agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector stood at 62.8 million cubic meters. Historical data from 2013 to 2023 shows a stabilizing trend with minimal fluctuations, indicating a broadly consistent water consumption pattern with minor annual variations. Notable year-on-year variations include a slight increase of 0.16% over the last two years. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last 5 years is approximately 0.13%, reflecting stable but gradual growth in water usage.
Looking ahead, the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests only a mild increase in water use, with a 5-year CAGR estimated at 0.06%. The projected total growth rate over this period is about 0.32%, indicating that water consumption will continue to rise but at a very modest pace. Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change, advancements in irrigation technology, and policy changes aimed at water conservation, which could significantly alter these projections.
