Abstract Narrative                                                              Project Description:  The objective of this Science in Developing               Countries cooperative research proposal between Dr. Khalid Mahmood of           The George Washington University and Dr. Ibrahim M. Elassiouti of               Cairo University is to implement an exchange of scientific knowledge            in the mechanics of alluvial channels between the U.S. and Egypt.               Dr. Elassiouti has developed a mathematical model to predict the                channel bed degradation occuring in the River Nile as a consequence             of the High Aswan Dam.  This proposed research will cover the testing           and improvement of hydralic, sedimentation and morphologic relations            developed by George Washington University research in the alluvial              channel research accomplished in Pakistan and their incorporation in            the Egyptian model.  This improved and advanced model will be applied           to the historic data for the River Nile for both the pre- and                   post-dam periods.                                                                                                                                               Project Significance:  This research will provide the opportunity to            further the development of international expertise relevant to the              alluvial channel problems in Egypt.  Those channels are undergoing              changes due to the curtailment of sediment load by the High Aswan               Dam.  Changes in the Nile River channel and the Egyptian canal system           in the degradation of the river bed and the instability of the canal            banks are already occurring.  Similar problems are being experienced            in Pakistan with the building of storage dams on the rivers of that             country.  As other countries in the world build storage dams to firm            up base flows of their rivers, these problems will undoubtedly occur            again and again.  This research on the Nile, when interrelated with             the alluvial channel research accomplished in Pakistan, will provide            both U.S. and Egypt scientists enhanced scientific results to address           the problems of water resources and waterway systems in their                   countries and as needed in other countries of the world.
