Water resources expert Dr. Diaa El Qoussy hailed the main theme of the 5th Cairo Water Week
Water resources expert Dr. Diaa El Qoussy hailed the main theme of the 5th Cairo Water Week which discussed the impacts of climate change on water resources globally, regionally and locally as a preparation for the activities of COP27. The increase in evaporation is assumed to increase intensity of rainfall, however the distribution might cause floods in some parts and drought in other parts, he said.
Over the phone to (Cairo Local Time), he lauded that the goal of the annual event was to spread awareness on water issues and promote innovation to face the most pressing water-related challenges.
In this respect, he said that the effects of climate change on the water sector are horrible. Egypt imports 97% of its water from the rainfall on African downstream countries through the river Nile, he pointed out, reiterating that if climate change affects the amount of rainfall in downstream countries, Egypt will be in great danger. Climate change affects also the sea level, he added.
He added that the conference compiles researchers, scientists, representatives of UN agencies and regional organisations, financial institutions and donors, water experts from public and private institutions and the media to discuss key policies, strategies and plans to counter climate-water challenges that affect investments as well.
Held under the motto “Water at the heart of climate action, the conference aimed at integrating the water issues into the climate action topics, encouraging innovations aiming at facing pressing water challenges, implementing the integrated management policies for water, and reaching sustainable solutions for water resources management.
This edition focused on the five sub-themes titled “Water Security and Climate Change,” “Protecting the Deltas,” “Water-related Adaptations to Climate Change,” “Water, Climate Change and Future Cooperation” and “Climate Water-related Disasters Preparation and Management.”
(Cairo Local Time) is aired from Saturday to Thursday. This episode is presented by Amal Mokhtar.
