Introduction

Ouda, Samiha A. H.; Zohry, Abd El-Hafeez

Pages: 1 –4

[Droughts and water scarcity are important issues related to natural phenomena and affected by climate variability and change. Water scarcity was defined as the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. There are many studies were conducted...

Potential Evapotranspiration Under Present and Future Climate

Morsy, Mostafa; El-Sayed, Tarek; Ouda, Samiha A. H.

Pages: 5 –25

[The objective of this chapter was to calculate potential evapotranspiration (PET) values for five governorates in Egypt (North Sinai, Marsa Matrouh, El-Gharbia, El-Sharkia and Sohag) using Penman-Monteith equation with climate normals values (1985–2014). These calculated values of PET was used...

Rain Fed Areas in Egypt: Obstacles and Opportunities

Ouda, Samiha A. H.; Noreldin, Tahany; Amer, Alia

Pages: 27 –46

[Rain fed agriculture exists in the Egyptian North coast, where North Sinai and Marsa Matrouh are located. Few field crops are cultivated in these areas, in addition to few fruit trees. Most of rain fed areas is farmed using old, traditional and primitive soil and crop management practices. There...

Upper Egypt: Management of High Water Consumption Crops by Intensification

Zohry, Abd El-Hafeez; Ouda, Samiha A. H.

Pages: 63 –76

[Upper Egypt is characterized by mild winters and hot summers, which leads to high water consumption by the cultivated crops. Sugarcane plantation is prevailing, in addition to field and vegetable crops. It is expected that climate change will affect Upper Egypt more than the Nile Delta. The...

General Conclusion

Ouda, Samiha A. H.; Zohry, Abd El-Hafeez

Pages: 97 –100

[Climate induced drought and water scarcity poses as massive risks on food security in Egypt, where there is a gap between production and consumption in many crops. However, cultivation of new areas outside the Nile Delta and valley is expensive. Furthermore, implementing breeding programs to...
