Climate Change and Development Impacts on Groundwater Resources in the Nile Delta Aquifer, Egypt
暫譯: 氣候變遷與發展對埃及尼羅河三角洲含水層地下水資源的影響

Ms. Marmar Badr is a water engineer with 22 years with diverse experiences in the fields of hydrogeology, transboundary and regional water issues in the Nile basin countries and groundwater management. Marmar is currently working as the head of the technical office of the Nile Water Sector, Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation in Egypt. She started as a hydrologist in 2001 in the Nile Water Sector (Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation). Her main responsibilities have included, but are not limited to, hydrological data processing, river Nile forecasting, analysing the hydrological and meteorological data of the Nile basin. She has worked on a wide range of water management issues and in multidisciplinary research projects. In 2006, she worked as a project manager in the National NBI Office (NBI - Nile Basin Initiative - is a partnership initiated and led by the riparian states of the Nile River to develop the river in a cooperative manner). Her main role was to provide overall coordination and support to the integrated water resources planning and management project.

She graduated from the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, as a civil engineer. She received her master degree in water resources management from Tanta University, Egypt. Her thesis was titled "management of subsurface water in Fayoum governorate and its effect on soil behaviour" in which she studied recent theories and approaches in the field of groundwater management. She obtained a professional diploma in information technology at the American University in Egypt. She has taken a number of training courses which cover several fields, e.g., guidelines for good practice of water policy, assessing the impacts of climate and global change on groundwater resources, groundwater modeling, Nile decision support tool program, preparing demand scenarios for agricultural water in Nile Basin for 2030, negotiation skills and conflict resolution, results oriented monitoring and evaluation for international projects. She participated in different research projects dealing with vulnerable fresh groundwater resources due to climate change in Egypt.

This book has been written during her Ph.D. studies at IHE Delft, the Netherlands, on the issues of climate change and development impacts on groundwater behaviour in the Nile Delta, Egypt.

瑪瑪·巴德（Ms. Marmar Badr）是一位水資源工程師，擁有22年的多元經驗，專注於水文地質學、尼羅河流域國家的跨界及區域水資源問題以及地下水管理。瑪瑪目前擔任埃及水資源與灌溉部尼羅水資源部技術辦公室的負責人。她於2001年在尼羅水資源部開始擔任水文學家。她的主要職責包括但不限於水文數據處理、尼羅河預測、分析尼羅河流域的水文和氣象數據。她參與了各種水資源管理問題的研究，並在多學科研究項目中工作。2006年，她在國家尼羅流域倡議辦公室擔任項目經理（NBI - 尼羅流域倡議是一個由尼羅河沿岸國家發起並主導的夥伴關係，旨在以合作方式發展該河流）。她的主要角色是為綜合水資源規劃和管理項目提供整體協調和支持。

她畢業於開羅大學工程學院，獲得土木工程學位。她在埃及坦塔大學獲得水資源管理碩士學位，論文題目為「法尤姆省地下水管理及其對土壤行為的影響」，研究了地下水管理領域的最新理論和方法。她在埃及美國大學獲得資訊科技專業文憑。她參加了多個涵蓋不同領域的培訓課程，例如水政策良好實踐指導方針、評估氣候和全球變化對地下水資源的影響、地下水建模、尼羅河決策支持工具計劃、為2030年尼羅河流域農業用水準備需求情景、談判技巧和衝突解決、針對國際項目的結果導向監測和評估。她參與了不同的研究項目，處理因氣候變化而受到影響的埃及脆弱淡水地下水資源。

本書是在她於荷蘭代爾夫特IHE進行博士研究期間撰寫的，主題為氣候變化和發展對埃及尼羅三角洲地下水行為的影響。
