Thank you note:

Me pongo en contacto con vosotros para adjuntaros las fotos de la contraparte local con los ordenadores, y para trasladaros la gratitud con la que se recibieron los mismos. Hasta el momento, muchos de los trabajos de campo en las plantaciones y en el Centro de Investigaciones Agrícolas de Egipto, se servían de plantillas de papel que se apilaban en los despachos…

Me gustaría volver a señalar la labor tan necesaria que hacéis, y recordaros que estamos a vuestra entera disposición para lo que consideréis.

Muchas gracias de nuevo,

Irene

Story

Egypt sustains a rapidly growing population of around 100 million people (Census 2019). The country, which presents just a 4% of arable lands, is now facing some of the upcoming biggest challenges in its history.
The Nile Delta, which is around 24.900 km2, holds a 65% of the country´s agricultural land and is home to about a third of total Egypt´s population. Consequently plays an important role in the country´s primary resource basis and economy. But its current situation could be worsening due to different threats.
Water gap in Egypt will probably reach 21 billion m3 by the year 2025. As population increases. Reclaimed areas for agriculture are being created in the desert and a 95% of the agricultural areas are irrigated in the country. Water-wise conflict could escalate even without Climate Change, and the country will face an explosive situation (El-Raey, 1999)
