Insight into land cover dynamics and water challenges under anthropogenic and climatic changes in the eastern Nile Delta: Inference from remote sensing and GIS data.

The destabilization of delta's worldwide due to climate change and human activities presents challenges in meeting the growing demands for freshwater and food. The Nile Delta in Egypt is a prime example of a vulnerable region facing various stressors. In order to preserve land and water resources, it is crucial to monitor the spatial and temporal changes in Land Use/Land Cover (LULC), shoreline, and Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) in these vulnerable regions This study comprehensively investigates the dynamic changes in LULC and their associated water and soil responses in the Eastern Nile Delta under these combined impacts.

A multidisciplinary approach for delineating wastewater flow paths in shallow groundwater aquifers: A case study in the southeastern part of the Nile Delta, Egypt.

Groundwater pollution is a global issue in highly populated areas, the Eastern Nile Delta region is a typical example; especially around artificial wastewater drains. In the present work, a multidisciplinary approach using hydrogeochemical, geostatistical, microbiological and geophysical data was applied to determine the vulnerability conditions and to identify potential pathways through which contaminants could potentially percolate to shallow aquifers in the southern boundary of the Eastern Nile Delta. An organized groundwater sampling was conducted for hydrogeochemical investigation in rural areas along the Belbies unlined drain.
