The impact of climate change on different sectors and Egyptian water security

Abstract EN

The issue of climate changes and the unprecedented rise in temperatures occupies the whole world, and its expected repercussions on global economies and gaseous emissions resulting from human activity in various fields of energy use have led to global warming.

The global effects of climate change are wide-ranging and unprecedented in terms of scale.

From changing weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic floods and adapting to these effects will be more difficult and costly if drastic measures are not taken to reduce the expected negative effects of global warming on the agricultural sector in general.

And on the development of water resources in particular, and the research aimed at: (1) Identifying the effects of climate change and global warming on the various Egyptian sectors, (2) Studying the effects of climate changes and global warming on Egyptian water resources, (3) Studying the impact of climate changes on the Egyptian agricultural sector, (4) Studying mechanisms and policies for adaptation to changes climate and global warming.

The most important results of the research were (1) the application of appropriate agricultural practices that are sensitive to climate changes, (2) the rationalization of the use of non-renewable energy and the expansion of the use of renewable energies, (3) the mitigation of the emission of carbon dioxide by finding drains for it through well-managed agricultural soil (4) Expanding forests, raising awareness of the issue of climate change at all levels, and coordinating with international agencies and developing countries, (5) rationalizing domestic, industrial and agricultural water uses, and working through programs that do not conflict with economic and social development plans, (6) increasing water drinking water and liquids, be careful to operate water heaters, and not to place gas cylinders in the sun, and stay away from exposure to direct sunlight, especially during the period from 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, (7) Put water cans in windows, courtyards, fences, farms, and balconies, in order to quench the thirst of birds, cats and other animals so as not to disturb the environmental balance, and beware of scorpions and snakes, they will come out of their holes significantly and may enter farms and homes to search for the humid atmosphere, (8) Increase the planting of trees on both sides of the main and secondary roads to avoid the extreme rise in temperatures and increase the percentage of oxygen gas (O₂) in the atmosphere to reduce the harmful effect of carbon dioxide (CO₂).
