| Abstract: | General information on the Nile River basin is presented. Specific features of the morphological regime of the Nile Delta and its near-shore zone, as well as the delta water balance and groundwater regime are discussed. The dynamics of the sea coastline of the Nile Delta is described in great detail. It is shown that the recent delta of the Nile and its sea coastline have been formed under the joint impact of the eustatic sea level rise, subsidence of sediments in the northern part of the deltaic plain, and considerable decrease in the river sediment runoff after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. |
