bullNile Delta is about 25000 kmsup2 with about 34 million inhabitants (Cairo is not included)bullIt is among the most densely populated agricultural areas in the world with 1360 inhabitants per kmsup2bullAbout half of the area is used for agriculturebullThe fish productivity is about 185000 Tonsyear from the northern lakes (Maryut Manzala Edkua and Burullus) bullAbout 40 of all Egyptian industry located in Nile DeltabullMost of the investments and economic activities apparently go the delta region

Needs for recommended new areas for population growth
Nile Delta is fairly unique in the distribution of its population land-use and agriculture and economic activity which makes it extremely vulnerable to any potential impacts on its water resources and coastal zone

The challenge
bull The research project in Nile Delta is very important and must be designed to solve the main problem (ecosystem degradation) and address the following activities bullConducting actual scenarios on the effect climate change on both the coastal areas and the Nile water availabilitybullAdopting different measures such as water recycling and exploitation of underground water resources to increase water productivitybullUsing of modern irrigation techniques and genetically modified seeds which grow with less water demands bullIdentifying new technology to be applied in water recycling which resulted in the reduction of freshwater discharge to the Mediterranean bullImproving technical performance of water supply and deliver system
The challenge
bull Adopting different technologies for waterways ponds reservoirs and lakes restoration bullReusing wastewater to support the agriculture production with minimal risks to the ecosystembullIntegrating biosystems to produce more products and generate less wastebull Groundwater and surface water bodies are physically interlinked and need to be managed in an integrated waybullAdopting modern farming technology to increase crop-water productivity and reduce pollutants bullProviding guidance with regard to crop production water requirement and water quality
The Nile Delta is one of the most heavily populated and intensely cultivated areas on earth It is highly vulnerable to environmental risks
Sea level rise soil and water degradation undiversified crop-pattern yield reduction pests and disease severity and irrigation and drainage management are the main key factors that increased the environmental degradation in that region
It is vital to develop adaptation and upgrading awareness in the Delta region to deal with such environmental risks

The challenge
bull The research project in Nile Delta is very important and must be designed to solve the main problem (ecosystem degradation) and address the following activities bullConducting actual scenarios on the effect climate change on both the coastal areas and the Nile water availabilitybullAdopting different measures such as water recycling and exploitation of underground water resources to increase water productivitybullUsing of modern irrigation techniques and genetically modified seeds which grow with less water demands bullIdentifying new technology to be applied in water recycling which resulted in the reduction of freshwater discharge to the Mediterranean bullImproving technical performance of water supply and deliver system
The challenge
bull Adopting different technologies for waterways ponds reservoirs and lakes restoration bullReusing wastewater to support the agriculture production with minimal risks to the ecosystembullIntegrating biosystems to produce more products and generate less wastebull Groundwater and surface water bodies are physically interlinked and need to be managed in an integrated waybullAdopting modern farming technology to increase crop-water productivity and reduce pollutants bullProviding guidance with regard to crop production water requirement and water quality
