Overview
Throughout human history, people have sought areas where fresh water is found. Water meant drinking, bathing, cooking, and farming- it meant life. This explains why Egypt was referred to as ‘The Gift of the Nile’ where all its richness and prosperity is owed to the Nile that turned a portion of the desert country into arable land. Also, this is why most of the Egyptian population cluster up in 4% of the vast Egyptian land (UN, 2005). Add to that the availability of services and hence development being limited to major cities, and the result is Egypt’s overpopulation problem. With a rising population of almost 90 million people and the continuous relocation of people into the already populous major cities, population densities in these cities became catastrophic; the Nile Delta has a population density of 1,540 people per km square and …show more content…
The experiments divide the country into four groups: A- Relocation permits only, B-Sex education only, C- Both, and D- Neither (control). If group A showed a reduction in population density in conjunction with other suggested related problems of traffic, education… etc. then we have found a solution to these problems. In case one or more remain problematic, then a solution to these alone can be focused on while the rest remain resolved. Similarly, if group B showed a reduction in birth rates and an increase in the use of contraceptives, then we would know that there was a problem of awareness that needed confrontation. In case group C shows the best improvement, that corroborates both hypotheses and both projects could then be expanded all over Egypt. Yet if either or both of the projects fail, then research should be refined and infrastructure used in the first project should be
