Adrian Daninos, a Greek-born Egyptian engineer, proposed to Nasser the concept of building a dam in the Aswan region on Egypt's southern borders after the July Revolution of 1952 in order to impound the Nile waters to prevent flooding and to collect water for irrigation and power generation necessary for Egypt's growth and transition them to the age of industry.
