Egyptian coastal lakes and wetlands are among the most productive
wetland ecosystems in the world. This volume explores their current
status and how it can be maintained and improved. It describes the
five Northern coastal lakes, their origin, physical and chemical
properties and current development activities, and discusses the
challenges facing these lakes, such as shrinking, pollution,
degradation, and adaptive management. Further topics include
hydrodynamics and modeling techniques, as well as strategies for
the sustainable development of these valuable resources. The book
closes with a concise summary of the conclusions and
recommendations presented in the chapters. As such, it offers an
invaluable resource for the academic community and postgraduate
students, as well as for environmental managers and policymakers.
This unique volume discusses various aspects of the Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam (GERD) and the Aswan High Dam (AHD) including their
positive and negative impacts. It presents up-to-date research
findings by Egyptian scientists and researchers covering several
interesting hot topics under the following main themes: * Major
impacts of GERD compared with the AHD * Environmental impacts of
the AHD * Modeling scenarios investigating the impacts of GERD on
the AHD and downstream * Environmental and social impacts of GERD
on Egypt * Status and assessment of the sediment of the AHD
reservoir and modeling the impacts of GERD on Lake Nubia sediment
accumulation * Proposed scenarios for maximizing the benefits of
the AHD reservoir * International aspects of GERD and the AHD The
volume also offers a set of conclusions and recommendations to
optimize the cooperation between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. It
appeals to postgraduate students, researchers, scientists,
professionals and policy planners.
This volume investigates the challenges facing the Egyptian
Northern coastal lakes, focusing on the impact of climate change,
their biodiversity and sustainable management. Presenting
up-to-date research, it covers the following topics: climate change
and water quality modeling and their impacts on the sustainability
of the lakes; the economic role of the lakes; the use of remote
sensing in monitoring; and the biodiversity of the lakes with
detailed discussions. Further, management strategies for the
sustainable development of these valuable resources are proposed to
maintain the lakes sustainability. The book closes with a concise
summary of the conclusions and recommendations presented in the
preceding chapters. As such, it offers an invaluable resource for
the academic community and postgraduate students, as well as for
environmental managers and policymakers.
