Search for the water

Now all those who got brains in their minds in Egypt are searching for the reason of the sudden shortage of water across Egypt this summer

The main reason of course to be blamed is the poor water infrastructure , the reason which made us wonder where all these millions billions that were spent on the watering and irrigation projects go in the last 25 years

But it turned out that there are other reasons , possible reasons

• The Golf playgrounds , in the last couple of years many Golf playgrounds were opened in the new communities ,compounds and resorts

Already there are very important environmental concerns about the Golf playgrounds

Another thing I don't know what this fashion suddenly appeared in Egypt , Golf playgrounds , Egyptians don't play Golf , I am sorry even the aristocrat class in the pre-revolution era did not play Golf ,King Farouk did not play Golf , it is a Nouveau riche stupid fashion, do not forget in the last 25 years Social climbers exceeded so much in Egypt ,they want to prove they are elite by adopting the western habits thinking by this they will prove to be rich

Some wise people will come and say we have this huge number of Golf playgrounds to attract tourists , I am sorry but "attract tourists!!" , this is an insult to Egypt seriously ,I mean with all we got from wonders like no other in the world , we still need the golf playgrounds  to attract tourists !!??

Tourists come to Egypt to enjoy its real wonders not to play Golf !!

• The swimming pools , the increasing huge number of Swimming pools especially in the north coast resorts ,strangely I thought that the swimming pools water there is from the sea but it turned to be untrue , the water of west delta turned to be taken to the rich resorts of the ministers and high class in the north coast !!

Seriously you will be surprised with the number of the swimming pools in Egypt and with my all respect those rich spoiled kids do not usually swim in it ,more than they like to wear their swim suites

There are couple of water playgrounds that are going to be opened in the country in soon insh Allah , and don't ask about the water !!

All these projects are for certain class of Egyptians , a minority of Egyptians where as the majority is left to suffer !!
