Return on capital = (total investment costs price, interest rate on the loan 22) to estimate the interest rate for the first and last term, and the interest rate announced by the Central Bank of Egypt in 2017 was 19.75
Water disposal A m³/year = 540 h operating × 238.5 m³/h = 128.79 m³/year
Water disposal A m³/year/cost of raising a thousand cubic meters of water = total. Source: Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Economic Affairs Sector, unpublished data. Actual costs and maintenance costs required for the pumping of groundwater in New Valley governorate which requires shedding light on those items in some detail as follows
