Summary: This volume presents up-to-date research on the Nile Delta and discusses the challenges involved in and opportunities for improving its productivity. The topics addressed include: groundwater in the Nile Delta and its quality; the mapping of groundwater with remote sensing technologies; land degradation; salt-affected soils; on-farm irrigation; the remediation of agricultural drainage water for sustainable reuse; the use of satellite images to estimate the bathymetry of coastal lakes; the assessment of the Nile Delta coastal zone and its management; its sediment and water quality; and fishing ports, fish and fisheries. The book closes with a review of the latest findings on the Nile Delta and offers conclusions and recommendations for future research to fulfill the requirements for sustainable development. It provides a unique and topical resource for researchers, graduate students and policymakers alikeSummary: Delta Biography, Challenges and Opportunities -- Ancient Water Supply System in Tall Tanis Archaeological Area Northeastern Nile Delta Region, Egypt -- Nile and Groundwater Interaction in the Western Nile Delta, Egypt -- Mapping of Groundwater in Egypt Using RS/GIS: Case Studies, Areas Surrounding Nile Valley and its Delta -- GIS-Based Spatial Distribution of Groundwater Quality in the Western Nile Delta, Egypt -- Modeling of Fertilizer Transport Through Soil, Case Study: Nile Delta -- Groundwater Degradation and Remediation in the Nile Delta Aquifer -- Land Degradation in the Nile Delta -- Management of Salt-Affected Soils in the Nile 1 Delta -- Remediation of Agricultural Drainage Water for Sustainable Reuse On-Farm Water Management in the Nile Delta -- Sediment and Water Quality of the Nile Delta Estuaries -- Assessment of Nile Delta Coastal Zone Using Remote Sensing Protection Methods Against Sea Level Rise Caused by Climatic Change: Case Study of the Nile Delta Coastal Zones -- Estimation of Bathymetry Using High resolution Satellite Imagery: Case Study El-Burullus Lake, Northern Nile Delta -- Sustainability of Water Bodies of Northern Egyptian Lakes: Case Studies, Burrulus and Manzalla Lakes -- Assessment of Egyptian Fishing Ports Along the Coasts of the Nile Delta -- Fish and Fisheries in the Nile Delta -- The Nile Delta: Update, Conclusions and RecommendationsPPN: PPN: 1659058996Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES
