NWRC has held a technical session entitled “TS23 Water Resources Vulnerability to Climate Change” on Wednesday 23 October 2019 during the Cairo Water Week at the Volga River Hall - Al-Manara International Conference Center. The session was chaired by: Prof. Maha Tawfik (Emeritus Professor at NWRC), and co-chaired by: Prof. Mohamed Rami (Director of Environment and Climate Change Research Institute). The session discussed the impact of climate change on water resources worldwide. Research on climate change vulnerability is taking place over the globe for better understanding and impact mitigations. Tools and models used to forecast the climate change and its impacts on rainfall and sea level rise were presented considering the research conducted on the Nile delta. Innovates using friendly measures to protect Nile delta from floods due to climate change were also presented. The presentations were: “Climate Change (sea level rise) myth or reality?”, byK Prof. Mohamed Rami, ECRI; “Impact of meteorological factors on the variation of sea level along the Nile delta coast”, by: Prof Khaled Khereldin, CoRI; “A Robust Dynamic Database for Climate Change on Sinai Peninsula and Suez Canal Corridor”, Egypt, by: Dr. Mahmoud Roushdi, ECRI, and finally “Future projection of climate change on the rainfall variability in Egypt”, by: Dr. Doaa Amin, WRRI.
