The symposium was held under the supervision of Dr. Yahya Zakaria Eid, Dean of the College, and Dr. Ayman Abdel Dayem, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs, and in the presence of Dr. Mustafa Shalabi, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, faculty members, the supporting staff, a team from the Agricultural Research Center, and undergraduate and graduate students.

 

 

This comes within the framework of implementing the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector plan, out of the Community Service Sector’s belief in the necessity of environmental awareness and given that the world has recently witnessed a major movement around “climate changes.”

 

 

Dr. Abbas Sharaqi, Professor of Geology and Water Resources at Cairo University, explained that water resources in the world are affected by rising temperatures, as evaporation increases and rain, torrents, and floods increase in some places and decrease in other places. Some hot or cold waves also appear that directly affect humans and agricultural, animal, and plant production. .

 

 

He pointed out that the Nile River has witnessed an increase in revenues over recent years, and since the agricultural sector is affected by various climate changes, which requires studying these changes and subsequent work to develop plant varieties that are tolerant to different stress conditions.
