The Nile Valley and other Water Resource Systems in Egypt
In the development arena new attention is given to the integration of different sectors and sub-sectors in more holistic approaches to development. Water and energy and agricultural use are all key elements in the Nile Valley agro-ecosystems. Their interaction is increasingly influenced by climate change phenomena and also here it is increasingly recognized that local governance and participatory planning and decisionmaking with local actors of water and ecosystems is a must. This Chapter will articulate how these aspects can come together in a Water, Energy, Food and Climate Change Nexus and can strengthen IWRM approaches in a river system as the Nile.
