The aim is to develop adaptation strategies and inform coastal land-use policy guidelines to reduce vulnerability and optimize trade-offs among stakeholders. Development pressures complicate the picture. Population growth upstream from the Delta means little Nile water now reaches the area and what does arrive is highly polluted. The result is declining soil fertility and a huge increase in fertilizer use as farmers struggle to maintain soil productivity.application/pdfenCLIMATE CHANGEADAPTATIONCAPACITY BUILDINGAFRICASEA LEVELEGYPTNILE DELTASALINE SOILHYDROLOGYDRAINAGESOIL FERTILITYAnnual Report
