Management of Climate Induced Drought and Water Scarcity in Egypt

Samiha Ouda is a professor at the Soils, Water, and Environment Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Egypt; and has a  background in agricultural economics, statistics and crop physiology. Professor Ouda has an impressive publication history of 64 papers and 2 book chapters on yield prediction using empirical models or simulation models, water stress mitigation, irrigation modeling under deficit irrigation and saline conditions, and assessing the impact of climate change on crops and farm net revenue. In 2006, Professor Ouda developed a simulation model called Yield-Stress for irrigation scheduling and prediction of yield and consumptive use of a number of crops under water, salinity and heat stresses.
