Origin and evolution of the Nile / Rushdi Said -- History of Nile flows / Terry Evans -- History of water use in the Sudan and Egypt / Peter Chesworth -- East Africa's water requirements / Paul Howell -- History, hydropolitics, and the Nile / Robert Collins -- Global climate change and the Nile Basin / Michael Hulme -- Hydrological data requirements for planning Nile management / John Sutcliffe and Jeremy Lazenby -- Future irrigation planning in Egypt / Roy Stoner -- Future water development planning in the Sudan / David Knott and Rodney Hewitt -- Irrigation and hydro-power potential / Bezazel Kabanda and Patrick Kahingere -- The integrated development of Nile waters / Zewdie Abate. The control of the swamps of the Southern Sudan / Paul Howell and Michael Lock -- Water balance of the Bahr el Ghazal swamps / John Sutcliffe and Yvonne Parks -- Evolving water demands and national development options / J.A. Allen -- The Nile Basin : water management strategies / J.A. Allen -- History of the Nile Basin and Lake Victoria basins through treaties / C.O. Okidi -- Principles and precedents in international law governing the sharing of Nile waters / Samir Ahmad -- Law and the River Nile / Chibli Mallat -- Developing policies for harmonised Nile waters development and management / J.A. Allen.
The environmental history of the Nile Basin has heightened awareness that the volume of water available is not sufficient to meet modern levels of water demand, quite apart from rapidly growing needs. The environmental element of the complex matter of evaluating and managing the international water resource of the Nile is addressed in this volume. The book deals with the global and regional hydrology, examines the scope and emphasis of water resource planning in the Nile Basin over the past century and identifies future options. The material is intended to be relevant to environmental scientists, government officials and water resource professionals in both national and international agencies, as well as those concerned with the environment and hydraulic engineering in the academic community.
