New Halfa Scheme
（重定向自New Halfa）
The New Halfa Scheme in Sudan is a 164,000 feddan site constructed in 1964 to house 50,000 Nubians displaced from Wadi Halfa, a town situated on the Nile near the border with Egypt, which was drowned when Lake Nasser formed behind the Aswan Dam. The site draws its water from the Atbara River, where the Khashm el Girba Dam provides a reliable source for the irrigation scheme intended to convert the nomads of the area to farmers of cotton and sugar.
