This region features a lot of diverse environments including the sub-saharan periphery, Sudanese and Ethiopian highlands, the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and the Saharan plains of Libya and Egypt. These individual environments are extremely different and yet they share many common issues with regard to water and environmental change such as groundwater exploitation and extreme climactic change. Analysing and attempting to understand how the hydrological cycle and system works in each environment has shown that although there are differences that are dependent on local geography, all of these environments are linked by various degrees of separation.  In order to understand why groundwater storage is decreasing in Eastern Egypt, the climate of Ethiopia and the Sinai peninsula must be considered alongside the h
