Egypt built the Aswan High Dam to tame the Nile's floods, but scientists now say the project starved the delta of fertile sediments and accelerated coastal erosion
Egypt's Nile River dam controls seasonal floods, securing water and power for growth. However, this barrier traps fertile silt, harming downstream agricultural productivity. Farmers now rely on artificial fertilizers, degrading soil and polluting local waterways. Coastal erosion and land subsidence threaten the northern Nile Delta region. Reduced freshwater flow allows seawater intrusion into vital subterranean water sources.
