The River Nile 5/24/2019

The Impacts of the Aswan Dam on the River Nile What environmental effects has the Aswan Dam had on the Nile Drainage Basin? What socio-economic effects has the Aswan Dam had on the people of Egypt? 5/24/2019

What is the Aswan Dam? Constructed in 1971 Regulates the flow of the River Nile Lake Nasser was created as a result of the Dam Lake Nasser stretches over a distance of more than 312 miles 5/24/2019

Why did Egypt need a Dam? The River Nile regularly flooded and destroyed crops Irrigation HEP Navigation 5/24/2019

What are the implications of the Dam? Agriculture Fishing Delta Water Loss Ecosystems 5/24/2019

Agriculture No sediment deposition Fertiliser Loss of Land 5/24/2019

Fishing Average fish stocks have declined from 35,000 tonnes in 1962 to approx. 9000 tonnes after the Dam was constructed Lake Nasser is silting up 5/24/2019

Delta Fertile land of the Delta is eroding a rapid rate The Delta is the most fertile part of Egypt Silt is no longer reaching the Delta 5/24/2019

Water Loss Egyptian evaporation rates have dramatically increased Lake Nasser loses 10-16 billion cubic meters of water every year through evaporation This volume of evaporation is approx. 20-30% of Egypts Nile Water 5/24/2019
