Christopher Rose
One of 12 lesson plans on People and Place: Human-Environmental Interactions
Students will understand that:
- the construction of the Aswan High Dam has had both positive and negative effects on the physical environment in Egypt
- the construction of the Aswan High Dam has both been an example of humans changing the environment in order to meet their needs and an example of the geography adapting itself in return
- the issues involved in sharing and allocating water resources between nations and the variety of strains put on available water resources are complex
This lesson plan is one of a dozen related lesson plans available as PDF files in the People and Place unit by Hemispheres: The International Outreach Consortium of the University of Texas at Austin. The People and Place curriculum unit includes an introduction and standards alignment page.
