Abstract

Nile Delta is facing problems of   high population, water scarcity and sea water intrusion. Solutions can be inside and outside this delta. Delineating aquatic rice belt cultivation is required in its northern part to be protected from the sea water intrusion and for saving amounts of water. The soils in this part are heavy clay having capacity of holding water 2.6 times more than that in outside that proposed rice belt. (748874.8 hectares). Westwards from this Delta a virgin one of paleo- drainage in the Western Desert of Egypt is covering 6561199 hectares including Al Qattara Depression. Most of its physiographic units are profitable as olive cultivation belt, which can be associated with some grain, fodder crop and oil seed crops. The water logged pro delta. (-65 to -134 below sea level) can be filled with sea water for a massive hydroelectric project creating an artificial lake. The lake can be used for producing evaporates, distilled water and fish reserving manufactories. It is a strategic solution for facing the pressure of the food requirement and for the environmental enhancement and also for well demographic distribution.
