Egypt can become a unified nation with the longest continuum on earth, with freshwater supplies from the Nile. However, rising sea levels caused by climate change are threatening this ancient delta. Far in the southern Delta, where the Nile water is still relatively abundant, little is known about the effects of climate change.
