The spatiotemporal differences in physical and chemical properties along the river have led to different habitat types and planktonic communities specific to them6. Some organisms are highly sensitive to environmental disturbances, thereby serving as biological indicators when perturbations lead to changes i...
The Nile valley and the Nile delta are part of the active rift that is probably connected with the Red Sea tectonism. This zone is characterized by small-to-moderate size earthquakes that have caused extremely severe damage to recent and historical constructions. The most vulnerable area along ...
The Nile Delta is one of the most dynamic river deltas in the world. Its recent formation goes back to about 6000 years ago after the last stabilization of the sea water at its current level (Stanley and Warne, 1994). The Nile Delta (20,000 km2) extends from its head at Cairo to ...
Lush green fields blanket northern Egypt's Nile Delta, but the country's agricultural heartland and its vital freshwater resources are under threat from a warming climate. The fertile arc-shaped basin is home to nearly half the country's population, and the river that feeds it provides Egypt w...

Figure 2. Geologic map of the Nile River Delta, modified after [86]. It covers the dashed box in Figure 1. The Nile Delta can be subdivided into two provinces: the Southern Delta Block (SDB), with a 1–1.5 km thick section of post-Eocene clastics, and the Northern Delta Basin (NDB...
The present study showed more contamination upstream compared to downstream which can be attributed to urbanization and human activity, as shown from the land use/landcover map. This highlighted that the major drains inside the Nile Delta suffer from different anthropogenic activities that should be ...
Map of River Nile The leading fact in regard to the position of Victoria Nyanza in the general hydrography of Central Africa is that by none of its affluents is it connected with any of the other great "equatorial" lakes. Tangayika lies in a trough about 1400 feet lower. Between the Vi...
The obtained map showed that the study area comprised two distinct landscapes i.e. fluvial lacustrine and flood plains. The main landforms of the area under consideration are grouped as decantation basins, levees, recent river terraces, overflow basins, man-made terraces, fish ponds and turtle ...
