“…Conversely, Nashwan et al (2019 showed that the Tmin increased (0.08-0.29 °C/decade) much faster than Tmax (0.07-0.24 °C/decade) across Egypt. Rainfall across Egypt was also demonstrated to be characterized by decreasing trends (Gado et al, 2019).…”

“…An increase in rainfall with the rise in temperature due to global warming has been noticed in many regions of the globe [5,[74][75][76]. In contrast to many other areas, the precipitation in some areas of Syria was observed as decreasing.…”

Spatial Shift of Aridity and Its Impact on Land Use of Syria

Expansion of arid lands due to climate change, particularly in water stressed regions of the world can have severe implications on the economy and people’s livelihoods. The spatiotemporal trends in aridity, the shift of land from lower to higher arid classes and the effect of this shift on different land uses in Syria have been evaluated in this study for the period 1951–2010 using high-resolution monthly climate data of the Terrestrial Hydrology Research Group of Princeton University. The trends in rainfall, temperature and potential evapotranspiration were also evaluated to understand the causes of aridity shifts. The results revealed an expansion of aridity in Syria during 1951–1980 compared to 1981–2010. About 6.21% of semi-arid land was observed to shift to arid class and 5.91% dry-subhumid land to semi-arid land between the two periods. Analysis of results revealed that the decrease in rainfall is the major cause of increasing aridity in Syria. About 28.3% of agriculture land located in the north and the northwest was found to shift from humid to dry-subhumid or dry-subhumid to semi-arid. Analysis of results revealed that the shifting of drylands mostly occurred in the northern agricultural areas of Syria. The land productivity and irrigation needs can be severely affected by increasing aridity which may affect food security and the economy of the country.

“…Then the ease of annual Nile flooding has incurred more settlements in the floodplain of the Nile; however, without cautiousness towards fluvial flooding that Egyptian used to have, plus the dry climate makes Egyptians neglect the importance of stormwater drainage system, even rainfall events with merely 50 mm/day intensity are prone to cause flooding disasters, which reflect the fact that the emerging pluvial flooding in the recent decades was prone to cause disasters and casualties whilst climate change has yielded more extreme weather events in recent decades. Egypt is facing more disastrous pluvial flooding events in recent decades, including 25 October 2015 in Alexandria, 4 November 2015 in Alexandria, 27 October 2016 in Hurghada, Ras Gharib, and Sohag, 24 April 2018 in the east suburb of Cairo, which have caused not only crop and livestock loss but also casualties [3][4][5].…”

The Nile Delta has been suffering from complex environmental hazards caused by climate change and human-induced evolvements, which have led to adverse impacts on national food security. An unfavourable nexus between solid waste management issues and extreme hydrological events is examined mainly through extensive field investigation and literature research, which is an emerging issue affecting food safety and security whilst still being overlooked so far. The findings not only reveal the significance of the emerging issue but also support our proposed recommendations in the policy/legislation and technology sphere. This interdisciplinary research employs a holistic lens that covers diverse perspectives, including systemic problems, wastewater treatment, and environmental neuroscience, to explore the relationship between food, climate change, water management, and waste pollution, and to achieve novel discoveries for the practical adaptations of Egypt's challenges.
