Yet millions of Sudanese lack clean drinking water, farmers go dry in the rainy season, and annual floods destroy homes and crops. Sudan&amp;#39;s water problem is not shortage — it is management.</description></item><item><title>Sudan's Unfarmed Breadbasket: The Case for New Irrigation Canals</title><link>https://kandaka.com/ideas/canals-irrigation-sudan/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://kandaka.com/ideas/canals-irrigation-sudan/</guid><description>Sudan has 80 million hectares of arable land and enough Nile water to irrigate far more of it than it does.
