Pipes, pumps and equipment
From the water and crops pump schedule. These pumps lift Lake Nasser water, the main supply until programme year 25. From that year, seawater desalination is used extensively. By year 13 the old Nile valley irrigation schedule is fully modern. Pipes are kilometres completed. Pumps, lines and equipment are the numbers in service. The sheet states pipes and equipment through programme year 15, then the figures are held. Working pumps run through year 50.

Each kilometre bar is the pipes completed, stopped at that mark. The sheet steps from 500 km in programme year 4 to 1,500 km in year 5, so 750 km and 1,000 km are both reached in that year. Four-metre lines match the working pumps. Spare pumps are one for every six working pumps from year 3. Solar is the running sum of the yearly augmentation. Programme year 1 has no water total and no power-equipment figure.
