Utilization of the Nile Water: Past Present and Future

by Elfatih A.B. Eltahir, Mariam M Allam, Anjuli Jain Figueroa

Inter-basin connectivity will be key in the future and using these relationships to import water-intensive commodities like meat can allow allocation of water elsewhere [Zeitoun et al., 2010]. Finally, studies have shown that a high rate of population growth is one of the most important factors in worsening future water deficits [Abdelkader et al., 2018], and further reducing rates of growth through proven methods like healthcare expansion and education [Eltahir et al., 2019] will slow decreases in per capita water share, a key metric of water scarcity. No single solution will be able to compensate for all additional needs.(Chapter 3: Past and future trends of Egypt’s water consumption and its sources, DISCUSSION)
