Climate change in New Qena city

1. CLIMATE CHANGE IN NEW QENA CITY

2. EXPECTED CLIMATE CHANGES IN NEW QENA 01 Rising Temperatures 03 Decrease in Water Resources 02 Increasing rates of desertification

3. Rising Temperature 01

4. 1. New Qena is from the cities in Egypt that the Average monthly temperature in summer ranges from 44-42 Degrees Major and from 26-22 Degrees Minor 2. It’s expected the increase of annual Temperature by 1.2% each year ANNUAL MEAN OF DAILY TEMPERATURE

5. Increasing rates of desertification 02

6. Represents about 4% in Egypt’s area Desertification 4% According to statistics from the Executive Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, which also confirm that 3.5 acres are exposed to desertification every hour, which is considered extremely dangerous, especially since the agricultural area is limited

7. Decrease in water resources 03

8. Water resources in New Qena Makes it so difficult for the city to rely on rain sources of water New Qena relies on the Nile River as a vital water source. Due to Ethiopian Dam potential changes in river flow that can affect the availability and management of water resources. The hot dry weather and location of the city at South of Egypt

9. SWOT analysis 04

10. Strengths The hot dry weather and location of the city at South of Egypt could be a good benefit of using the solar system as renewable energy sources. Threats The challenging economic situation could delay the planned projects Weakness Lack of required machines, and farming experience reduces the farming plot. Opportunities - The big riverbank makes it suitable for huge cultivating projects which could be accompanied by aquaponics. SWOT analysis

11. Suggested projects 05

12. Project Categories Energy 01 Waste 02 Food 03 Water 04

13. 1.Energy Photovoltaic Cell as energy source: The hot dry weather and location of the city at South of Egypt could be a good benefit of using the solar system as renewable energy sources. Which will allow the city to have its own source of energy

14. 2.Waste Wastewater Treatment : The wastewater treatment is a good solution to problem of water shortage that will be caused by change in water potential coming from river since it can be used in factories and decreases waste in the city

15. 3.Food Aquaponics: Use 1/6th of the water to grow 8 times more food per acre compared to traditional agriculture so wont be a burden to water shortage and it Allows continuous production of food as it Produces both a protein and vegetable crop. which will be an alternative to regular soil since there will be desertification

16. 4.Water Ground Water: Groundwater offers a number of additional opportunities, such as enhancing storage for improved water security, and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
