The population growth and push for economic development is regularly increasing the pressure on the Nile River as a water resource, while the attempts to unfold a basin wide agreement on the river Nile’s use have not been successful so far and a condition of low level conflict exists.

The main principle underlying Malthus’s argument is that there simply is not enough, and there never has been enough, resources on this earth to sustain the indefinitely increasing world population, but there are still naysayers who reject
Thomas Robert Malthus can be acknowledged to have laid the foundation and paved the way to future theorists interest in the subject of population growth being a major problem with dire consequences such as poverty and misery. Extensive research on the topic has been done thereafter and a great deal of the theorists concluded that population growth is certainly a problem and moreover it can potentially hinder development as more people equate to a higher demand on resources, services, food and employment
society tend to change the land use pattern. The factors such as high growth rate of population engulfing precious land for settlement, scarcity of land for ever increasing demand for food, development of industrial sector, urbanization, conversion of paddy lands for non- agricultural purposes etc. contribute for the change in land use pattern.

Solow Swan Growth Model Solow-Swan Growth Model is an economic model created by Robert Solow and Trevor Swan. This model is similar to Harrod-Domar model which includes other factors such as changes in labor, population and technological progress. According to this model, in order to increase economic growth rate, there must be an increase in capital and labor. However, this is only temporary since there’s a diminishing returns to labor and capital. When the capital per worker and output per worker
