Abstract

Egypt is facing many challenging since the year 2011. At the top of these challenges, the freshwater scarcity at the same of the increasing demand of freshwater for the rapid growth of populations and consequently the increasing demand for food. The construction of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) imposed additional challenges to Egypt due to the expected harm to all sectors in Egypt particularly the agricultural sector which consumes about 80–85% of the freshwater. Therefore, this chapter introduces the basic information GERD and AHD. Also, the major environmental impacts and benefits of GERD compared to Aswan High Dam (AHD) are presented as an introduction to this unique volume about GERD and AHD in the series titled “Handbook of Environmental Chemistry.”
