| Synopsis: |
This book focuses on some strategic national and regional aspects of water in the regions of the Nile Basin, ie., Middle East and North Africa. Water is one of the main development challenges facing the Nile countries. Problems of frequent and prolonged drought and water quality (in ground and surface waters) are becoming very serious. Water quality is being considered by some to be the most series issue the country will have to address. Comprehensive management of the regions' water resources will increasingly require agreements at National and transnational levels. An integrated approach for national and basin-wide development could contribute significantly in dealing with the problems. This book identifies technical solutions in a broad comprehensive framework which may contribute to an environmentally sustainable development benefitting all the Nile countries. |
