Potential Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources in Egypt

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources in the Kunhar River Basin, Pakistan

Pakistan is one of the most highly water-stressed countries in the world and its water resources are greatly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions. The present study investigates the possible impacts of climate change on the water resources of the Kunhar River basin, Pakistan, under A2 and B2 scenarios of HadCM3, a global climate model. After successful development of the hydrological mode...

Linking climate change and water resources: impacts and responses

Impacts of climate change on water resources and water environment in the Three Gorges Reservoir

Climate change is one of the major global issues commonly concerned by international communities. Taking the Three Gorges Reservoir which is the largest water conservancy project in China as the object, this study attempts to clarify the current conditions of water resources and water environment especially the spatial distribution characteristics of water resources amount and main non-point so...

Climate Change: The Impacts of Sea Level Rise on Egypt

Introduction Sea level changes are caused by several natural phenomenon; the three primary contributing ones are: ocean thermal expansion, glacial melt from Greenland and Antarctica in addition to a smaller contribution from other ice sheetsand change in terrestrial storage. Among those, ocean thermal expansion has been expected to be the dominating factor behind the rise in sea level. However,...
