| Abstract | ||
| The current challenges facing Egyptian water resources have led us to study the latest methods, new sciences and advanced systems that positively affect the development and management of water resources in Egypt, The objectives of the study are to enrich the applied life with the importance of using the programs and to clarify the role of environmental information systems and their tools and applications in the management and conservation of water resources in Egypt. Water is one of the basic components of development in various concepts, whether it is economic, social and human development. It is also a major factor in the process of sustainable development. Water is also the most important source of life because it is the primary factor in living and food production. Therefore, attention to water resources and water resources developed in today's world of priorities of conferences and studies and research, From this point on The methodology used is the inductive method and also the use of the content analysis approach, where follow-up programs and modern ecosystems, reading and analysis of global conferences and internal publications issued by the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources in Egypt and the Central Agency for Mobilization and Statistics 2014-2017 the Data systems programs were used to analyze the data and to find out the main rates of water consumption. The sample was selected in which the population numbers, the most important crops, industries and other uses of water To be the results and recommendations of the importance of the role that affects the environmental information systems in the study of water resources in Egypt As it was concluded that the total water use in Egypt exceeds the total available water resources The program is designed with a map containing the Arab Republic of Egypt This map is related to the databases of the governorates of Egypt, its population, its water consumption, the most important strategic crops and the industries in each governorate. The application also shows Egypt's water resources and its total uses. This is what is applied to achieve sustainable development of water resources in Egypt. | ||
