There is a next step after water management and electric pumps and that's smart greenhouse digitalised farming using waste water as fertiliser to create levels of ponts like in a gardening system with even fish and frog ponts creating over several steps clean river water usable in a modern smart greenhouse using digital sensors for water and fertiliser distribution.
Instead of a channel in the north the stretch next to the Nile could be a lot wider.
But you can't have both at the same time.
