  1. Sharing Japanese Experience with Egypt - Water and Environment - Ambassador of Japan to the Arab Republic of Egypt Ambassador Kaoru ISHIKAWA 1

  2. Theme 1. Water is Life 2. Global Challenges 3. Japanese Philosophy 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution 2

  3. Theme 1. Water is Life ① Do not repeat Japanese mistakeTake preventive antipollution measures now!! -Japanese mistake in 1950s and 60s - Air pollution - Antipollution measures - Water pollution 3 DeSOx, DeNOx system

  4. Theme 1. Water is Life ② Total cost of damage by pollution is considerablymore expensive than cost for antipollution device Cost Comparing Ouch-Ouch disease (Toyama, Japan) Cadmium from Mining in 1956-1957 -76% Damage \2.518 billion Antipollution Device \602 million NHK Enterprise 21 Supervised by Ministry of Environment, Japan 4

  5. Theme 1. Water is Life ③ Total cost of damage by pollution is considerablymore expensive than cost for antipollution device Minamata disease (Kumamoto, Japan) Mercury from Factory in 1953 Cost Comparing -99% Damage \12.631 billion Antipollution Device \123 million NHK Enterprise 21 Supervised by Ministry of Environment, Japan 5

  6. Theme 2. Global Challenges ① 5.0 4.41 4.0 2.68 3.0 1.78 2.0 0.80 0.70 1.0 0.67 0.53 0.43 0.24 0.0 South Korea China Japan Canada India US EU27 Russia Australia Expanding Advanced Technology to Reduce Global Emissions CO2 emissions compared to GDP (2005) ［kgCO2/US$（2000 standard exchange rates)］ Global standard level0.75 6 Source: IEA (2007), “CO2 emissions from fuel combustion 1971-2005”

  7. Theme 2. Global Challenges ② 6,000 years ago, Sea level on the Earth was “5m higher” than today’s ! Today (Satelite view of the Nile Delta) 6000 years ago (Sea-level 5m higher) Photography from Space Shattle Emdevor on 1st July, 1993 Image processing by Mr.Takemura, Foundation for Riverfront Improvement and Restoration 7

  8. Theme 2. Global Challenges ③ “Water” is an important piller of the MDGs Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education • Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women • Goal 4: Reduce child mortality • Goal 5: Improve maternal health • Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases • Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability • Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development MDGs：8 Goals to be achieved by 2015 set in 2000 Concrete target on water under Goal 7 “Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation by 2015” 8

  9. Theme 3. Japanese Philosophy ① Sustainable Development Agriculture, Industry, Quality of Life, etc. Multifaceted Concrete actions Energy Water Science Ownership (Empowerment) Information Communication Education Health Gender Hope Predictability & Participation 9 Peace, Security, Good Governance

  10. Theme 3. Japanese Philosophy ② Top Donor Japan (37% of total world ODA in water and sanitation) 1.Strong conviction ⇒ 《Water is Life》 ⇒ 《Water is a key for sustainable development“》 2. Shoulder to shoulder with Arab-Africa 　 ⇒　《Dispatch water security action team to Africa》 (JICA) 3. Do steadily what we can do　⇒　MAN + NATURE + TECHNOLOGY - Respect existing scarce water (Do not pollute, Do not leak, Do recycle) - Make use of abundant non utilized water (Reverse Osmosis Membrane can transform sea to 'reservoir‘) - Believe in nature's power and help it (Nano-buble mixing revivespolluted lakes and rivers) - Believe in ordinary people's participation & action (Do not throw garbage in water, efficient and equitable shearing by "Water users’ organization“) - Paradigm shift (flush water toilet ⇒ compost toilet and/or closedcircuit recycling water toilet) 10

  11. Theme 3. Japanese Philosophy ③ Concept : Project to Form Recycling, Clean Water and Clean Energy 11

  12. Theme 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution ① Japanese Technologies Contributing to Global Changes SHARP has the second largest share of solar panel sales in the world TOYOTA Prius sales exceed 1 million units Desalination System Endless supply of high-quality potable water Small-scale Hydraulic Power System 12

  13. Theme 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution ② Japanese New Technology : Watar Recycling toilet and Non-water toilet The Aquamake system provides a high level of treatment for miscellaneous wastewater including sewage water not only from general households but also from large-scale facilities. Compost Toilets needs no sewage system. Odorless non-sticky compost is produced by the mechanism of almighty nature. Oyster Shells 13

  14. Theme 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution ③ Japan’s contributions to the water and sanitation sector ODA pf DAC Countries on Water and Sanitation (2001-2005) Breakdown by Purpose (2002-2005) US$4.9bill(Japan) /US$13.1bill(Total) Source：OECD/DAC 14

  15. Theme 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution ④ Japan’s Grant Aid to Egypt in the field of Water Resources 4 Large Regulators (9 billion JPY (90 million USD)) 34 Floating Pump Stations (4.3 Billion JPY (43 million USD)) 15

  16. WMIP II: The Water Management Improvement Project II in Egypt by Japanese Specialists Theme 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution ⑤ • Place: 7 sites in Egypt • ･This Japanese technical cooperation project aims to organize farmer’s groups, and to use efficiently irrigation water. • Water Users Organizations are technically, organizationally and financially self-operational nationwide to meet the national agenda of efficient water resource management. A Japanese specialist illustrating the role of WUO to farmers 16

  17. E-JUST: Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology Theme 4. Japanese Technology and Contribution ⑥ In Borg El Arab, Egypt (Near Alexandria) Innovative and Progressive national university in Egypt ・International High Standard as a core university for Arab, Africa and Mediterranean region ・Research oriented, start as post-graduate (later includes under-graduate), and team work with business ・Japanese discipline, lab-based and pragmatism Japanese, Egyptian and Arab top brain join forces ・12 Japanese top universities, 9 Egyptian top universities, some Arab top universities gather their force ・Business Sector participates ・Japanese and Egyptian Ministries’ support 17
