| Publisher Description: The Nile basin is a microcosm of Africa. The Nile water flowing from south to north, originating from sub-Saharan Africa and flowing into the coasts of the Mediterranean, integrates a range of African climates and sustains a group of nations representative of African diversity. The water of the Nile has been the main resource supporting the rich civilizations that flourished along its banks for millennia. This book presents and discusses a pathway forward for sustainable future development in the Nile basin. We identify population growth, climate change, and adoption of agricultural technology as the main processes that will define the future of the Nile basin, and then propose ways for effective management of these processes in order for future economic development to succeed. Success in the Nile basin is likely to offer a prototype for success elsewhere in Africa. |
