Easter Desert Project
-
Objectives:
Develop a replicable integrated model (methodology) for evaluating the extent and development potential of renewable (non-renewable) groundwater resources in arid lands, with the Eastern Desert of Egypt as a pilot site.
The model will be replicable for similar arid areas; North of Sudan, Tibesty, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.
Building national capacities.

Xiamen ICM Demonstration Experiences and Lessons Learned
-
Xiamen, a modern international port scenery city, located on the southeast coast of China, covers a land area of 1565 km2 and a sea area of 340 km2 with a coastal line of 234 km. Xiamen was one of the five ports designated for international trade after the First Opium War (1840), and became an important international trading port. As one of the “special economic zone”, Xiamen economy has developed rapidly with an annual growth rate of more than 20% in the GDP since 1980. The marine economy, which consists of shipping, tourism, marine industry and marine technology, is a major part of the city’s economy. In 2000, the value of the ocean economy amounted to 11.5 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the city’s GDP. As consequences of rapid economic development, Xiamen also faces major coastal management problems such as marine pollution, habitat destruction, and multiple-use conflicts.
