Egypt is vulnerable to climate change, especially with regard to its water and land resources. Climate change will increase the evaporation losses from the High Aswan Dam Reservoir (HADR) and lead to loss of land at the northern coast due to sea level rise. In order to tackle this problem, this book assesses several adaptation tools that could be used to mitigate some of these impacts. For instance, Egypt could optimize ist water resources by decreasing evaporation losses from the HADR, or it could maximize land resources by identifying new settlement sites especially for climate migrants from the northern coastal zones. Databases on the characteristics of the HADR such as meteorological, hydrological, topographic and bed soil sedimentary data were compiled. Based on these databases, up-to-date mathematical models were developed to describe the hydrological characteristics of the HADR. Several options for reducing evaporation losses and new settlement areas were discovered and evaluated. Essential measures to preserve these areas were presented to promote sustainable development in this region.

Emad El-Din Mohammad Elba, was born 1967 in Egypt. The author got his bachelor's degree in Civil Engineer from Ain Shams University in Egypt. He gained his research experience in the fields of water resources management, sustainable development, preservation and climate change from expert professors of Leuphana University Lueneburg, Germany, where he got both his master's and doctorate degrees. Since 1995, he has been working in Nile water sector at the Egyptian Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation where he gained his practical experience from the Nile hydrology experts. He worked in the Nile Basin countries and participated in the hydrological studies of the Nile basin of Lake Victoria in Uganda and High Aswan Dam Reservoir (HADR) in Egypt and Sudan. While joining the HADR surveying mission, the author decided to study how to reduce the evaporation losses to optimize Egypt's water resources.
