REVIEWS
on a balance of population and production. Today, as Said documents, the limits of agricultural production have been exceeded, and the population is expected to continue to increase at a frighteningly fast rate.
If, as Said argues, the prospects of securing more water are slim, Egypt, for the first time in its history, faces the prospect of a water famine. Sadly, contamination of water by pesticides and industrial pollutants, urban encroachment over arable land, and a decline in soil productivity conspire to pose a very serious challenge to development in Egypt.
Said's book is comprehensive and compelling. It presents for the first time the most coherent, up-to-date synthesis of the geologic history and hydrology of this majestic river. For geoarchaeologists, the book is an important case study of human ecology. Geographers, historians, economists, and policymakers will find the book informative. Rushdi Said deserves our gratitude for a book that, harmoniously and seamlessly, will remain for a long time a watershed.
