Green campuses as pivots of sustainable development in Egypt

Abstract Sustainable development is a global aim to which Egypt is highly committed. This is evident in various projects and initiatives that aim to direct all activities towards more sustainable patterns and tools. Egyptian higher education institutions are an important partner and tool in enhancing sustainable development. University campuses, as the main anchors for higher education, take part in achieving this goal through developing green campuses that support the overall national sustainable development. This paper examines the presence of Egyptian universities in the global ranking of Green Campuses. It then focuses on two main case studies within the Egyptian context which are the AUC and ASU to compare their progress and identify their future priorities in Green Campus development.

Modern Methods and Solutions for Water Resources Management in the Wadi-Watir Region (Egypt)

The main problem of water resources in Egypt is the increasing demand and decreasing supply, especially after the construction of the Ethiopian Renaissance Great Dam. One of the best solutions is the use of unusual alternative management techniques, including as a major one, rainwater harvesting and distribution. This paper examines the use of unconventional approaches to water management in arid regions based on rainfall accumulation. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydrological modelling, the suitability of the Wadi-Watir catchment (Egypt) for rainwater storage was assessed and optimal locations for the construction of storage structures were identified. The results of the study showed that 19% (666 km2) of the study area is highly suitable for the aims and objectives; 16% (573 km2) of the catchment area has limited realisability. Twelve sites were found to be suitable for the construction of storage dams. Fourteen sites are identified as optimal for the placement of percolation (filtration) reservoirs along watercourses. The area considered ideal for above-ground percolation (filtration) tanks is 25.9 km2. The optimum area for farm ponds is 1.34 km2. As a result, the construction of water storage structures is proposed to improve water management in the Wadi-Watir region. The implementation of the rainwater harvesting structures (SRF) was divided into three phases depending on the severity of the flash flood hazard. The first, second and third phases can meet 62.24% (34.24 mil m3) of the water demand. This approach is a new and modern solution to the problem of water scarcity under socio-economic and environmental pressures while achieving the goals of sustainable development in Egypt. The article is based on the dissertation research of Mohamed Mostafa Ezzeldin Abdelrahim (MGSU, dissertation council № 24.2.339.07, March 2024).

EGYPT’S WATER SECURITY SITUATION IN THE CONTEXT OF ASIA WATER DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK APPROACH

Water Security is very urgent for sustainable development in Egypt. Growing population needs more food production, water for drinking, hygiene, and to respond to economic activities which rely on access to more water. Worldwide, Water Poverty Index was used to express the water sector status and challenges. However, this index does not adequately represent the water sector status since its calculation is only based on available water resources and population. The scarcity index does not reflect the demand, the degree of water availability, efficiency, vulnerability, reuse, and water quality. To overcome such situation, the Asian Water Development Outlook (AWDO) was developed to investigate the actual water security status and its impact on the socio-economic and environmental development. The presented framework for assessment of Water Security comprises five Key Dimensions: (i) household water security, (ii) economic water security, (iii) urban water security, (iv) environmental water security, and (v) resilience to water-related disasters. According to the AWDO Methodology, Assessing Water Security in five dimensions will represent more accurately the inherent tension among water uses that emerge as water resources come under increasing stress. It may also be used to measure the outcome of integrated water resources management. In this paper the AWDO will be applied to assess the Water Security status in Egypt, evaluate its applicability, and recommend the necessary modifications added and removed parameters to suit the Egyptian local conditions. تحقيق الأمن المائي هو مصدر اهتمام وقلق متزايد لدى المهتمين بالشأن المائى وحاجة ملحة للتنمية المستدامة في مصر. فيحتاج النمو السکاني إلى مزيد من إنتاج الغذاء ومياه الشرب النقية واحتياجات النظافة العامة والأنشطة الاقتصادية التي يعتمد نموها على المزيد من المياه. حاليا يتم استغلال الموارد المائية المتاحة فى مصر بشکل تام فضلا عن اعادة الاستخدام والتدوير، وتواجه البلاد ندرة مائية متزايدة بسبب المخاطر المفروضة على تدفقات مياه النيل من دول المنبع. لقد تم استخدام مؤشر الفقر المائى في جميع أنحاء العالم، للتعبير عن حالة قطاع المياه والتحديات التي يواجهها. ومع ذلک، فإن هذا المؤشر لا يمثل وضع قطاع المياه بشکل کاف لأن حسابه يعتمد فقط على الموارد المائية المتاحة وعددالسکان ولا يعکس مؤشر الندرة الطلب المتزايد على المياه، وکفاءة النظام، وحساسيته، والتباين في الامطار وتدفقات النهر بين السنوات المختلفة، وإعادة الاستخدام، وجودة المياه. وفى هذا الصدد فقد تم تطوير إطار عمل جديد لتقييم مؤشر الأمن المائي على أساس منهجية تنمية المياه الآسيوية (AWDO) للتحقق من حالة الأمن المائي الفعلية في مصر وتأثيراتها المختلفة.
