El Qanater El Khayreya
Place in Qalyubia, Egypt
El Qanater El Khayreya (Arabic : القناطر الخيرية pronounced [elʔɑˈnɑːtˤeɾ elxæjˈɾejjæ] city and a markaz in Qalyubia Governorate , Egypt . It is the location of the Delta Barrages , the first modern irrigation structure across the Nile , located at the apex of the Nile Delta . In the mid 1850s, when Viceroy Sa'id Pasha took over project construction, he ordered a silver medal to be struck to mark the occasion. He then ordered the construction of a town near the incomplete barrage. Again the project would be bogged down due to financial problems; the original barrages were initially completed in 1862. A new barrage structure was built slightly downstream in 1939.[ 1] [ 2]
