Sudanese River Nile State Integrated Water Resources

Abstract

With the objective to study integrated water resources management River Nile State of Northern Sudan was taken as a pilot area. The integration adopted the approach concept of integrated water resources (IWR) which required the determination of River Nile State surface water, rain water and ground water quantitatively and qualitatively. Simple statistical models as well as sophisticated softwares and advanced statistical models were applied. These included beside the means, standard deviations, the more sophisticated statistical parameters such as coefficient of variation, skewness and their corrections. These adopted softwares in this research are considered the keys leading to solution of the problems and fulfilling the objectives to create an integrated water resources management body in the River Nile State pilot area, to travel parallel with the expected present and future population growth.
