Summary
[edit]DescriptionNile Delta.jpg |
English: The Nile Delta region, home to about one quarter of Egypt’s population, is vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. The area is in fact vulnerable to periodic flooding, which is caused by the rise of the Mediterranean Sea and its consequent spill over the lowlands around the villages of the region. This severely affects the local population by destroying homes and saturating farmland with saltwater, thus hindering the cultivation of arable crops. The ongoing construction of multiple coastal dykes aims to prevent the regular flooding affecting various governorates of the region. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 27 March 2022, shows the dykes built along the coast of the Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, one of the most severely affected by coastal floods. |
