Siwi is a Berber Afro-Asiatic language of Egypt, spoken by about 5,000 people in and around the oasis of Siwa near the Libyan border.
Siwi's relation to other Berber languages is not very close.
Most speakers of Siwi also know Arabic, and the language contains a large number of Egyptian Arabic loanwords.

April 30, 2004 -- In a study presented last week by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) at the 12th meeting of the U.N. Commission on Sustainable Development in New York, the scarcity of water was found to have a direct relation to the food choices made by people around the world.
According to the research of SIWI and the WMI, it takes 550 liters (145 gallons) of water to produce enough flour for one loaf of bread, while it takes 7,000 liters (1,849 gallons) to produce just 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of beef.
In developing countries, agriculture accounts for as much as 70 percent to 90 percent of the fresh water used, according to SIWI Senior Scientist Malin Falkenmark, and huge volumes of water are further lost in the agricultural process, turning into vapor.
