Quantitative and Financial Impacts of Nile River Inflow Reduction on Hydropower and Irrigation in Egypt

摘要

The climate change and Nile Basin projects especially during the filling time impacts on Nile water inflow in Egypt. Paper objective is analysis and asses the negative impact of the Nile water inflow reduction on Hydropower generation and Irrigation quota. Different alternatives are suggested to cope with water reduction in agriculture. Three scenarios are proposed for generation of hydropower to deal with both; different values in inflow reduction in head and the released discharge through turbines. Financial evaluation for the Nile water inflow reduction impact on hydropower generation and water reuse for agriculture is carried out.
