Learning from the River Nile about engineering sustainable futures
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering ( IF 0.8 ) Pub Date : 2021-04-07 , DOI: 20.00042
Mike Muller

The history of the Nile in Africa offers useful lessons for civil engineers seeking to build a sustainable future, in which climate change is an existential challenge. For thousands of years, communities along the river have sought greater water security at the interface of technical possibility, politics and unpredictable nature. Large projects such as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam and Jonglei canal in South Sudan continue to be controversial, but both show how civil engineers might help to address climate change challenges. Once again, Nile communities need civil engineers to find and implement innovative, politically acceptable and sustainable development initiatives.

向尼罗河学习工程可持续的未来

非洲尼罗河的历史为寻求建立可持续未来的土木工程师提供了有益的经验教训,在气候变化中,气候变化是一个存在的挑战。几千年来,沿河的社区一直在技术可能性,政治和不可预测的性质的界面上寻求更大的水安全。诸如大埃塞俄比亚文艺复兴大坝和南苏丹的琼莱运河等大型项目仍引起争议,但两者都表明土木工程师如何帮助应对气候变化挑战。尼罗河社区再次需要土木工程师找到并实施创新的,政治上可接受的和可持续的发展计划。
