Assuandammens påverkan på Nilen, EgyptenLehman, Hanna January 2013 (has links)
Regulation of rivers by dams and reservoirs is a good example where anthropogenic impact could be considerable both in the local environment, but also has major implications upstream and downstream. This study was accomplished as a literature study of the river Nile, which is extremely important for water supply. The purpose of this study was to investigate the consequences of the construction of the Aswan High Dam, to obtain a consistent flow for water supply, irrigation and power generation in Egypt. Since Egypt has a very hot and dry climate large amounts of water in reservoir is lost to the Nubian aquifer system and by evaporation. The consequences from constructing the dam are considerable. It has led to the preventing of the annual flooding and a significant reduction in sediment load reaching the outer delta, which has led to an erosion of the delta front. The incoming waves create a current, mainly towards the east, carrying away the eroded material. In order to protect the delta front seawalls and breakwaters has been built. They have stopped the erosion of the areas behind them, but it has also led to the erosion of other areas. The issues in Egypt reflect the global crisis, mainly in delta areas, which prevail in regulated rivers. The biggest issue globally is the reduced sediment transport to the coast that causes land loss.

L'utilisation du granite dans les temples de Karnak / Use of granite in Karnak's templesLabarta, Charlie 09 December 2014 (has links)
Dès le début de leur histoire, les Égyptiens ont réussi à maîtriser l'extraction et la taille du granite dans les carrières d'Assouan. Cette roche, réputée pour sa dureté, est particulièrement appréciée au Nouvel Empire où son exploitation prend une importance sans précédent. Les temples de Karnak, lieux de cultes majeurs à cette époque, constituent à ce titre les sites d'érection privilégiés de ces monuments en granite, à l'image des quinze obélisques qui furent, pendant un temps, dressés dans l'enceinte d'Amon. L'utilisation de ce matériau ne se limite cependant pas à ces monolithes ; il a également été employé pour de nombreux éléments d'architecture, de statuaire et de mobilier de culte.S'inscrivant dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire comprenant une approche égyptologique, géologique et technique, cet ouvrage propose une étude sur ces réalisations à travers le prisme du site de Karnak, suffisamment riche pour être, dans une certaine mesure, représentatif de l'utilisation générale du granite dans les temples de l'Égypte ancienne / From the beginning of their history, the Egyptians have acquired an expert knowledge of granite quarrying and cutting in Aswan region. This stone, whose hardness made it famous, has been particularly used during the New Kingdom, when it got an unprecedented importance. The Karnak temples, as major cult spots at that time, have been a privileged site for the erection of monuments made from granite, as reflected by the fifteen obelisks which stood in the Amon enclosure for centuries. Its usage has not been limited to these large monolith pieces ; it has also been shaped in a tremendous amount of architectural elements, statues and objects for worship.Following an interdisciplinary approach combining an egyptological, a geological and a technical study, this work presents an investigation of granite monuments through the prism of the Karnak temples, whose history spreads far enough to be representative, in some way, of the general use of granite in ancient Egypt temples.

“England’s Greatest Enterprise”: An Analysis of British Newspaper Representations of the Aswan Dam / Englands största projekt: En analys av brittiska tidningsrepresentationer avAssuandammenNeef, Romée January 2024 (has links)
In the age of imperialism the British Empire imposed multiple projects of water management,like the Aswan Dam, on its colonies. These projects had to bring economic benefits to the colonies and coloniser while British politicians and engineers saw these projects also as an instrument to modernise and civilise the local people. This study explores the motivations behind the construction of the Aswan Dam in Egypt within the public discourse. Previous research has primarily relied on several political documents and technical reports about the Aswan Dam and has thus focused on the political and economic motivations behind the construction of the dam. Through economic and political perspectives these studies have characterised the dam as an economic project not only for the beneficence of Egypt, but also for the British Empire. This study, however, investigates newspaper articles from The Times, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail between 1894−1902 from the planning to the completion of the dam. This is carried out through a discourse analysis to explore how the Aswan Dam was justified towards the public to add a new social-cultural perspective. Findings indicate that newspapers represented the dam within different social imaginaries as an achievement of British engineers, the British monarchy and the British Empire. The Aswan Dam was thus not only justified through economic purposes. The dam was rather represented in the newspapers as a way of bringing back the glory of Egypt and as “England’s greatest enterprise” that would make the British Empire surpass the great empires from the past.

Crisis in the Eastern Nile Basin: an Examination of the Challenges to Egyptian Hydro-Political Hegemomy and Potential Domestic SolutionsBergonia, Alexandra 01 January 2013 (has links)
The countries of the Nile Basin are on a collision course that could result in disastrous military action to determine control of the region’s main water source. In the wake of the Arab Spring, the Egyptian government has lost much of the regional clout that allowed it to maintain it’s ‘lion’s share’ of the Nile as outlined by the 1959 agreement. Population and economic growth in upstream countries, specifically Ethiopia, have resulted in intensified calls for a more equitable water-sharing agreement. Just weeks after Mubarak stepped down, Ethiopia unveiled plans to build the Grand Renaissance Dam. The GRD will significantly reduce the water that reaches Egypt’s borders but will significantly increase Ethiopia’s hydroelectric power and irrigation potential. Egypt’s population and agriculture sector rely heavily on the maintenance of this status quo; the country also faces the mounting effects of climate change, rising food prices and immense population growth. In order to avoid a severe water crisis, Egypt must be proactive and look to improve efficiency within its own borders. This paper will examine the inadequacies of Egypt’s agricultural and irrigation sectors. It will then use examples from Mexico’s successful irrigation reform and advocate a shift of control to local Water User Associations. Other domestic and basin-wide efforts to increase water-use efficiency will also be examined.

Recherches sur la statuaire et les monuments en quartzite en Égypte au Nouvel Empire (XVIIIe - XIXe dynasties) / Researches on quartzite statuary and monuments in Egypt during New Kingdom (XVIIIth and XIXth dynasties)Galazzo, Daniela 28 November 2017 (has links)
Basée sur un vaste corpus d’œuvres en quartzite, axé sur la statuaire mais prenant aussi en compte d’autres types de monuments, l’étude vise à examiner l’utilisation de cette pierre dure par les anciens Égyptiens au Nouvel Empire, sous les XVIIIe et XIXe dynasties. Correspondant à du grès silicifié, le quartzite a été extrait du Gebel el-Ahmar au nord et des carrières d’Assouan au sud. Après avoir évoqué les caractéristiques géologiques du quartzite et sa désignation dans les anciens textes égyptiens, l’étude traite du travail dans les carrières du point de vue de son organisation et de ses aspects techniques (méthodes d’extraction, outils employés, ébauches in situ), avant d’envisager la question du transport et de la finition dans les ateliers de sculpteurs. La seconde partie, introduite par un chapitre sur l’usage du quartzite avant le Nouvel Empire, est consacrée à l’examen des œuvres du corpus replacées dans leur contexte : il permet de mettre en évidence l’essor de ce matériau au cours de la XVIIIe dynastie, avec une utilisation majeure sous les règnes d’Amenhotep III et d’Akhénaton, fortement marqués par les conceptions solaires, et un nouveau regain sous Séthi Ier, notamment à Héliopolis, et sous Ramsès II qui a cherché à imiter son prédécesseur Amenhotep III. La symbolique solaire du quartzite, due à sa couleur rouge et à l’origine mythique du Gebel el-Ahmar, explique en grande partie son emploi dans les monuments royaux et divins et en fait une pierre de prestige, presque exclusivement réservée à l’élite. Les résultats d’analyses scientifiques menées sur des objets en quartzite du musée du Louvre sont annexés au travail. / Based on a large corpus of works made of quartzite, centred on statuary but also taking into account other types of monuments, the present study is a review of this hard stone use by the ancient Egyptians during New Kingdom, mainly 18th and 19th dynasties. Quartzite or silicified sandstone was extracted from Gebel el-Ahmar quarries in the North and from Aswan quarries in the South. Having mentioned the geologic characteristics of quartzite and its name in the ancient Egyptian texts, the study deals with the work in the quarries (organization and technical aspects like extraction technologies, tools, rough or unfinished pieces found in situ) and the transport of the stone from the quarry to the workshop. The second part of the research, introduced by a chapter on quartzite use before New Kingdom, is dedicated to the monuments of the catalogue put in their context : their examination reveals the significant development of this material during the 18th dynasty, with a peak under the reigns of Amenhotep III and Akhenaton, heavily influenced by solar beliefs, and a revival under Seti Ist (especially in Heliopolis) and Ramesses II, who wanted to emulate his predecessor Amenhotep III. The use of quartzite in royal and divine monuments might be explained by its solar symbolism, due to the red colour of the stone and the mythical origin of the Gebel el-Ahmar : it is the reason why this high-value stone is almost exclusively reserved for the Egyptian elite. An appendix containing the results from scientific analysis conducted on some quartzite objects kept in the Louvre Museum completes the study.

Reaching the unreached Sudan Belt : Guinness, Kumm and the Sudan-Pioneer-MissionSauer, Christof, 1963- 11 1900 (has links)
This missiological project seeks to study the role of the Guinnesses and Kumms in reaching the
Sudan Belt, particularly through the Sudan-Pionier-Mission (SPM) founded in 1900.
The term Sudan Belt referred to Africa between Senegal and Ethiopia, at that period one of the
largest areas unreached by Christian missionaries. Grattan Guinness (1835-1910) at that time was
the most influential promoter of faith missions for the Sudan. The only initiative based in
Germany was the SPM, founded by Guinness, his daughter Lucy (1865-1906), and her German husband
Karl Kumm (1874-1930). Kumm has undeservedly been forgotten, and his early biography as a
missionary and explorer in the deserts of Egypt is here brought to light again.
The early SPM had to struggle against opposition in Germany. Faith missions were
considered unnecessary, and missions to Muslims untimely by influential representatives of
classical missions. The SPM was seeking to reach the Sudan Belt via the Nile from Aswan. The most
promising figure for this venture was the Nubian Samuel Ali Hiseen (1863-1927), who accomplished a
scripture colportage tour through Nubia. Unfortunately, he was disregarded by the first German
missionary, Johannes Kupfemagel (1866-1937).
When the SPM failed to reach the Sudan Belt due to political restrictions, Kumm and the
SPM board were divided in their strategies. Kumm planned to pursue a new route via the Niger River,
seeking support in Great Britain rather independently. The SPM, holding on to Aswan, dismissed
Kumm, and began to decline until it made a new start in 1905, but for a long time remained a
local mission work in Upper Egypt. The Sudan United Mission however, founded by the Kumms in 1904,
did indeed reach the Sudan Belt.
An analysis of the SPM reveals its strengths and weaknesses. The SPM grew out of the Holiness
movement and shared the urgency, which made faith missions successful, but also was the SPM's
weakness, as it suffered from ill-preparedness. The SPM innovatively gathered together
single women from the nobility in a community of service for missions under its
chairman, Pastor Theodor Ziemendorff (1837-:1912). / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)

Sovereignty, Peacekeeping, and the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), Suez 1956-1967: Insiders’ PerspectivesHilmy, Hanny 13 February 2015 (has links)
This research is concerned with the complex and contested relationship between the sovereign prerogatives of states and the international imperative of defusing world conflicts. Due to its historical setting following World War Two, the national vs. international staking of claims was framed within the escalating imperial-nationalist confrontation and the impending “end of empire”, both of which were significantly influenced by the role Israel played in this saga. The research looks at the issue of “decolonization” and the anti-colonial struggle waged under the leadership of Egypt’s President Nasser. The Suez War is analyzed as the historical event that signaled the beginning of the final chapter in the domination of the European empires in the Middle East (sub-Saharan decolonization followed beginning in the early 1960s), and the emergence of the United States as the new major Western power in the Middle East.
The Suez experience highlighted a stubborn contest between the defenders of the concept of “sovereign consent” and the advocates of “International intervention”. Both the deployment of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) and its termination were surrounded by controversy and legal-political wrangling. The role of UNEF and UN peacekeeping operations in general framed the development of a new concept for an emerging international human rights law and crisis management. The UNEF experience, moreover, brought into sharp relief the need for a conflict resolution component for any peace operation. International conflict management, and human rights protection are both subject to an increasing interventionist international legal regime. Consequently, the traditional concept of “sovereignty” is facing increasing challenge.
By its very nature, the subject matter of this multi-dimensional research involves historical, political and international legal aspects shaping the research’s content and conclusions. The research utilizes the experience and contributions of several key participants in this pioneering peacekeeping experience. In the last chapter, recommendations are made –based on all the elements covered in the research- to suggest contributions to the evolving UN ground rules for international crisis intervention and management. / Graduate / hilmyh@uvic.ca
