Each player has a desire to meet its national demands under increasingly stressed limited resources. Egypt, the most powerful of the actors, strives to maintain the status quo: securing the water supply that is barely sufficient for its growing population. Sudan is wedged between its 1959 treaty with Egypt and potentially economically beneficial cooperation ...

However, the health of these valuable ecosystems is increasingly threatened with environmental pressures primarily created by human activities (eg urbanization, industrial development, etc.) around the world, especially in developing countries in which the protection of wetland ecosystems is not widely acknowledged to be important by both citizens and policy-makers. In this ...

In this chapter, non-cooperative game theory solution concepts are used to determine the possible outcomes of the Nile River Basin conflict. This conflict is the result of the desire of the main riparian countries, namely Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and other upstream nations, to gain a higher share from the available water resources in the basin. The Graph Model for Conflict Resolution decision support system (GMCR II) is used to model the ...
