Abstract:
The water for any human mean the life, what if your life has been thereat? A 90 million in risk in Egypt. In Egypt the Nile is the artery of the whole country, it’s involve in Egyptians life’s every single day it give’s them electricity, food, and water briefly it’s keeping Egypt alive. So now Egypt will face in the near future a huge issue it the water shortage which mean shortness of our lives as an Egyptians. We should found a solutions to survive, and at this project we will try to focus on the impact on the food industry that will be affected by the water shortage at Egypt and found a solutions to survive and stay alive.
Introduction:
Our main topic is the water shortage and its impact on the food industry which an urgent problem

Nile water:
According to a contract between Egypt and Sudan at 1959 the Nile water amount is 18.5’109 m^3 to Sudan and 55.5 ‘109 m^3for Egypt. Nile water have 97% of a renewable water viands in Egypt. The overall cultivated space in Egypt is lesser than 4%. The source of the Nile water in Egypt are in Ethiopia 83% and Equatorial Plateaus 18%. The output of the previous spilt into 13% from Subat, 58% of Blue Nile, and 12% from Otbara River respectively. It’s striking that of its huge resources 110’ 109〖 m〗^(3 )/yr only 30’ 109 m^3/yr arrive the Victoria Nile section. The rest is wasted by the operation of evaporation.

Ground water:
The main ground water source in Egypt exist at the western desert, Sinai, downward and west of the Delta, and under Upper Egypt. This water is renewable because its produce from infiltration of Nile water and drainage water. The infiltration of overflowing irrigation water and the dragging of the groundwater in the rest sections of the Delta plays a remarkable role in protect the territory against the saline
Watershed Park is one of the largest parks in Delta and is built upon an artesian water supply (Watershed Park in North Delta). There are many trails for cycling, hiking and activities. Humans have depended on this artesian water supply to provide fresh water. In 1947, the water was a source of emergency water however, now the water is mixed with Metro Vancouver's Mountain Reservoirs water and supplied to Delta's residents.
So many lands, farms, fields of fruits and vegetables are gone because of the drought. All this happened because of a shortage of water from once green and healthy crops to dead dry brittle crops that are abandoned by a drought. For example, we had to cut back on watering my lawn and it went from a green lawn to a dead lawn, because of cut backs. Mat Wiser said that, “ Water will become one of the defining limits to human development and a compound factor in human misery,”(2009 Wiser). If we don’t have water we will die faster without water than food, we can’t be greedy on something that we thrive and survive
Water from the Nile River is immensely toxic or unhealthy, but when but through cleaning systems like a filter can change that. The very scarce but clean water can provide the proper nutrients to defeat and prevent waterborne
This is happening because the water that usually flows into the Salton Sea is being diverted away and being sent to big cities for usage. Farmers are using less water which means less water is being drained into the sea. This is causing the dry up.
The river carries silt-fine mineral particles that can form fertile soil-from it sources in East Africa. Near the end of its journey, the Nile slows down and fans out into many streams and marshy areas. As it slows, the river drops its silt. Over thousands of years, this silt has built up to form a large river delta. A delta is an area of sediment-soil or minerals carried by water-deposited at the mouth of a river.
The Nile River has helped harvest in and exceptionally in Egypt. According to Document B, the irrigation channels needed the Nile because the Nile provided water. Without the Nile water the crops would not last and the farmers wouldn’t have jobs. As stated in the song, “Hymn to the Nile,” in Document E, the Nile was much appreciated as it was written, “spring from the ground, come to keep the land alive…
Additionally, desalination; the removal of salt from salt water, is surefire way to stop a water crisis because the ocean has tons upon tons of water that we can use once its toxic salt is removed. Lastly another solution to water crises are water meters. “Using meters to monitor just how much water people are sending down drains, flushing in toilets and pouring over gardens promises to cut consumption, according to some experts” (Barford, Everett). On the other hand, the predominantly accepted solution for food crises are the use of more GMOs which stands for genetically modified organism. The author of
The White Nile begins with the waters that flow into and then out of Lake Victoria. The deserts in Egypt are very dry. The Nile river is the longest river in the world and the main water source that everyone in Egypt relies on in such an extreme environment. Without it, there would be almost nothing in Egypt. The Nile river strongly affected the
The fresh water is good for drinking, bathing, irrigating and hunting. The animals would naturally be near the river for survival so they didn't need to move to hunt. Also the fact a river was right there is ideal for framing and natural vegetation along the river like grass and berry bushes can be used as a food source or production of goods. The Nile was also used for transportation, so they needed that for trade. The deserts nearby are not good to live on because it's hard to farm or transport goods with no river.
How the Nile shaped ancient Egypt In Egypt, sandy deserts seem to stretch on endlessly with little life in sight. In the middle of the desert, though, rests the Nile River. The Nile, measuring 4,187 miles from beginning to end. The Niles is the longest river in the world. Ancient Egyptians relied on the Nile's bounty to develop into a strong and thriving civilization.
At the southern tip of the Nile, the Nile splits into two rivers. The Blue Nile and the White Nile. The Blue Nile starts in lake Tana. The White Nile starts in Lake Victoria. Every year, heavy rain will fall and fill the Blue and White Nile.
“As the population rises, the world 's water usage will rise. Many areas of the world already suffer from a lack of fresh water,” (Population Control 3). If the world runs out of freshwater, humanity will plunge into chaos. Humanity needs water to survive, and that is a fact. Relationships between countries will be broken apart over disputes for water.
Topic: Water Shortage Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about water shortage and how to cope with water scarcity Thesis Statement: Across the globe, reports reveal huge areas in crisis as reservoirs and aquifers dry up. I. INTRODUCTION A. Turning off the water while brushing their teeth, a family could save about 5 to 10 gallons of water per day. B. Freshwater shortage will cause the next great global crisis.
Literature Review: Theoretical Approaches, Empirical Studies, Analytical Concepts and Legal Frameworks Theoretical Approaches towards food security With respect to the theoretical approaches to food security, there are three theories developed in 1970s and 1980s as cause to food insecurity. The first one is Climate theory; this theory explains food insecurity as caused by climatic phenomena. Cox, related this theory with the concept of “famine belt” in which he directly links climate condition to food insecurity. This theory argued that in the national or local level, climate linked phenomena such as drought, floods and others are a major factor causing food insecurity (Cox, 1981, cited in Steven Engler,
Water is the most important component found on the surface of the earth because it is source of life for living creatures. However, water pollution has become a global concern. Water pollution can have several forms from diverse sources. It is expected that there will be a lack of clean water in next few decades due to pollution. Nile river water in Egypt is the focus of attention of many studies due to many reasons.
