Assessing the Impacts of Agricultural Water Management on Ecosystem Services in the Nile Delta
Egypt suffers from water scarcity and farmers are often forced to use alternative water resources
including recycled and untreated wastewater with elevated levels of non-point source pollutants.
However, continued use of ...
“WP-Calc” for exploring some water productivity improvement scenarios
The aim of this study is to investigate some scenarios aiming to improve water productivity of the level of
mesqa irrigation zone at the traditional irrigated agriculture in the Nile Delta region. “WP-Calc” will be
used ...
