NWRC Agenda at Cairo Water Week 2026 from 25 to 29-2026
This session will explore how non-conventional water reuse in agriculture can be scaled in a way that is both technically robust and institutionally feasible, with a focus on decentralized and nature-based solutions. Building on ongoing work under the Water Development and Partnership Programme (WDPP), the session will present hybrid treatment approaches for agricultural drainage water, irrigation flows, and landfill leachate.
The National Water Research Center (NWRC) is pleased to invite you to attend the session organized by the Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI), entitled:
“Bridging Science and Practice: Developing Climate-Resilient Flood Risk Management Strategies in Egypt”
We look forward to your participation and valuable contributions to the discussions and exchange of expertise, supporting efforts to develop sustainable flood risk management solutions and strengthen climate resilience.
The Nile River is the backbone of Egypt’s water resources system, supporting water supply, navigation, and agriculture activities. However, the hydraulic performance of the river has been increasingly affected by sedimentation, channel instability, encroachments, changes in flow regimes, and climate variability. These pressures reduce river conveyance capacity, alter water levels and flow distribution, increase flood and inundation risks in vulnerable reaches, and affect the efficiency and safety of hydraulic structures and river operations.
his high-level panel discussion, Science-Based Cooperation for Shared Waters, explores how science, knowledge exchange, and institutional cooperation can strengthen transboundary water governance across Africa and the Arab region. Building on the work of the UNESCO Chair on Transboundary Water Management and Governance at the National Water Research Center (NWRC), Egypt, the session will bring together ministers, UNESCO partners, scientific institutions, basin organizations, and regional stakeholders to advance dialogue on practical pathways for cooperation and capacity development.
he National Water Research Center (NWRC) is pleased to invite you to a session organized by the NWRC, represented by its Strategic Research Unit and the International Institute for Water Management (IWMI), as part of Cairo Water Week 2026, entitled:
Securing the Future: Integrated WFEEN and Circular Economy Strategies and polices for Resource Sustainability. This session aims to transition the Water-Food-Energy-Ecosystem (WFFE) Nexus from strategy to action by addressing key challenges in resource sustainability and a circular water economy.
