The restructuring includes revisions to the PDO, results framework, and original project components; reallocation of loan proceeds; and extension of the closing date from March 31, 2017 to January 31, 2019 to allow for completion of project activities and achievement of the revised PDO. Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR16189 The progress towards achievement of the project development objective remains moderately satisfactory, the overall implementation progress is now rated moderately satisfactory considering the positive progress made in the implementation of the track renewal contract.. Despite delays, the implementation of Component 1 (Modernization of signaling systems on Cairo-Alexandria and Beni Suef-Asyut lines) is moving forward. The contract for the Cairo-Alexandria line was awarded to the firm Thales, which started the works. Implementation of Component 2 (Track renewal works along the Cairo-Aswan line) had faced significant difficulties. The recently signed amendment to the contract has allowed to solve these difficulties. Although ENR's operational performance remains a source of concern, ENR continues to make some progress in the implementation of Component 3 (Modernization of management and operating practices).

    Hydroclimate Changes to Arid regions subjected to Impact of climate change, human activities, and Large-scale climate patterns by Shereif Hassan Mahmoud A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Water Resources Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Alberta © Shereif Hassan Mahmoud, 2020 Abstract In recent years, many regions worldwide have suffered from natural hazards related to the impact of human activities and climate change, such as floods and droughts, sea level rise, extreme weather events and an accelerated hydrological cycle. In Africa, the driest continent on Earth, climate change has led to more frequent occurrences of droughts of greater severity. Beside climate change, human activities have also incurred negative environmental impact which in turn has likely affected the climate at a wide range of temporal-spatial scales worldwide. For example, in the Middle East, floods of greater magnitude have been occurring more frequently in recent decades, which could be attributed partly to rapid urbanization or the effect of climate change, or both. In the Nile River basin (NRB), recurring droughts and increasing population have led to rising tension between competing users for water. Therefore, to develop more effective mitigation strategies against the potential impact of climate change, there is an urgent need to better understand changes to the hydrologic cycle of arid regions and linkage to regional climate change. The objectives of this dissertation are: 1) To investigate the potential implications of urbanization and climate change to the flood risk of Egypt and Saudi Arabia of arid climate in the Middle East.

EVALUATION OF GROUNDWATER AQUIFER IN THE AREA BETWEEN EL-QUSIYA AND MANFALUT USING VERTICAL ELECTRIC SOUNDINGS (VES) TECHNIQUE 1 2 3 Waleed S.S. , Abd El-Monaim, A, E. , Mansour M.M. and El-Karamany M. F.3 1 Ministry of Water Resources (underground water sector) 2 Research Institute for Groundwater 3 Mining & Met. Dept., Faculty of Eng., Assiut University (Received August 5, 2009 Accepted August 17, 2009). The studied area is located northwest of Assiut city which represents a large part of the Nile Valley in Assiut governorate. It lies between latitudes 27° 15ƍ 00Ǝ and 27° 27ƍ 00Ǝ N, and longitudes 30° 42ƍ 30Ǝ to 31° 00ƍ E, covering approximately 330 square kilometers. Fifteen Vertical Electrical soundings (VES) were carried out to evaluate the aquifer in the study area. These soundings were arranged to construct three geoelectric profiles crossing the Nile Valley. Three cross sections were constructed along these profiles to detect the geometry and geoelectric characteristics of the quaternary aquifer based on the interpretation of the sounding curves and the comparison with available drilled wells. The interpretation showed that the thickness of the quaternary aquifer in the study area ranges between 75 and 300 m, in which the maximum thicknesses are detected around Manfalut and at the west of El-Qusiya. INTRODUCTION During the two last decades, there is a continuous demand for big amount of water necessary for the land expansion projects in Egypt. So, the development of groundwater resources receives special attention, since the groundwater reservoir underlying the Nile Valley and its adjacent desert areas acting as auxiliary source of water in Egypt.

  • A Three-Dimensional, Numerical Groundwater Flow Model of The
    Fourth International Symposium on Environmental Hydrology,2005, ASCE-EG, Cairo, Egypt, INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES IN WESTERN NILE DELTA 2-MANAGEMENT ٍ SCENARIOS A. M. El Molla1, M. A. Dawoud2, M. S. Hassan3, H. Abdulrahman Ewea3, R. F. Mohamed4 ABSTRACT Western Nile delta is an important area in Egypt, in which the government has later established new reclamation projects, and irrigation and drainage network. The increase in reclaimed area together with the decrease in the discharge of canals network especially in the 1980‟s lead to shortage of surface water. The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) has an overall development plan, which will increase the reclamation area to be 625,000 feddan at the western delta area before 2017. A number of management scenarios were defined. These scenarios study alternative conjunctive uses for available water resources in western Nile delta (surface water, ground water, drainage water reuse) to prevent the groundwater aquifer from depletion. The proposed scenarios studied the full completion of the development plan proposed by MWRI for western Delta area by the year 2017. The previously built and calibrated ground water flow model was used to predict the effects of various scenarios on the groundwater aquifer for the present development and for the year 2017 development plan. INTRODUCTION Western Nile delta is an important area in Egypt, which has limited water resources, although it lies on the western part of Nile Delta aquifer. Due to the increased in the area of the reclaimed lands farmers are suffering from shortage of surface water and are forced to depend on the groundwater abstraction from wells.

  • THE MONUMENT CALLED “DARA” at MANFALUT OR the PYRAMID of KING KHUWI? Known Name: Pyramid of Khuwi
    THE MONUMENT CALLED “DARA” AT MANFALUT OR THE PYRAMID OF KING KHUWI? Known name: Pyramid of Khuwi. Arabic name: Dara. G-R name: North of Cynopolis. Geographical information of the site: The location of this monument is on the map of Egypt (1:100 000) MANFALUT portions of sheets 48/54 and 48/60 of 1932. Its coordinates on the UTM Kilometer grid are 508 N, 605 E (=27o 17/ N, 30o 54/ E). Eight km West of Manfalut, NW of Nag Arab el c Amayem (a small village N of El c Atamna). The shortest distance to the river is 10 km. The course of the Nile in this area between the City of Assuit and the Island of El Mac abdah, at the southern portion of the Abu Fouda cliffs, meanders creating 5 bends in a general NW direction. The monument is oriented by its sides to the cardinal points. It cannot be seen from the western road, very close to it, because of a grove of trees. Moreover Dara is the local name of the monument itself and not the name of the site. History of the exploration and dates. The monument Dara was first discovered by Ahmed Kamal Pasha in 1911. He describes the corridor and burial chamber. R. Weill cleared large parts of the superstructure and made drawings in 1946-1948. J.Vercoutter worked on the neighboring site in the early 1950s. Today the site is in a confused state. Body of the subject. Brick monuments come from all periods of Egyptian history and royal brick pyramids come from the sites of: Abu Rawash III Dyn., Fayum XII dyn., Dahshur XII and XIII Dyn.

Though only sixty years of age, he had published eight books and two book-length articles, four chapters of the new revised edition of the Cambridge Ancient History, thirty-six other articles, and numerous book reviews. He had also served for nine years in Egypt on expeditions of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the institution to which he devoted his entire career, and more than four years in the United States Navy in World War II, during which he was wounded in action-both periods when scientific writing fell into the background of his activity. He was presented by the President of the United States with the bronze star medal and cited "for meritorious achievement as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S.

  • The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlementin Egypt
    Pýý.ý577 THE IMPACT OF THE ARAB CONQUEST ON LATE ROMAN SETTLEMENTIN EGYPT VOLUME I: TEXT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY CAMBRIDGE This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Cambridge, March 2002 ALISON GASCOIGNE DARWIN COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE For my parents with love and thanks Abstract The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlement in Egypt Alison Gascoigne, Darwin College The Arab conquest of Egypt in 642 AD affected the development of Egyptian towns in various ways. The actual military struggle, the subsequent settling of Arab tribes and changes in administration are discussed in chapter 1, with reference to specific sites and using local archaeological sequences. Chapter 2 assesseswhether our understanding of the archaeological record of the seventh century is detailed enough to allow the accurate dating of settlement changes. The site of Zawyet al-Sultan in Middle Egypt was apparently abandoned and partly burned around the time of the Arab conquest. Analysis of surface remains at this site confirmed the difficulty of accurately dating this event on the basis of current information. Chapters3 and 4 analysethe effect of two mechanismsof Arab colonisation on Egyptian towns. First, an investigation of the occupationby soldiers of threatened frontier towns (ribats) is based on the site of Tinnis.
