Abstract
ABSTRACT
This narrative review investigates the projected future water scarcity in Egypt and its effects on public health. The aim of this review is to highlight the increasing importance of water scarcity as a major problem endangering the health and well‐being of Egypt's population. This review investigates the intricate interaction between predicting water scarcity and community health results via a narrative review approach, synthesizing the current literature. The key findings revealed that water scarcity in Egypt is exacerbated by rapid population growth, climate change, inefficient water management, and regional geopolitical tension, leading to heightened risks of waterborne diseases, malnutrition, and poor hygiene practices. The review emphasized the essential role of nurses in tackling these challenges through health education, community interventions, and advocacy for sustainable water management policies. Ultimately, this work calls for integrated, multidisciplinary efforts to mitigate the health impacts of predicted water scarcity and enhance community resilience across Egypt.
