Abstract
- Egypt's 2007 National Water Resources Plan projected that water supply and demand would still be in balance by 2017. However, in 2010, the National Water Resources Plan – Coordination Project found that agricultural demands were far higher than previously estimated and demand already exceed the officially available resources. The first part of this paper deals with the estimation of the Nile water balance in 2010; the second discusses measures, including actions in the wider economy, that would allow Egypt to manage the situation and cohabit with its co-riparians as they implement their own plans to use Nile waters.
