Lake Nasser and New Valley development, Egypt. The left photo (NASA photograph STS087-758-086) is an oblique view showing most of Lake Nasser in November 1997. On the right, the top two photos (NASA photograph NM22-705-079 and NM23-703-232) compare the relative water levels in the same section of central Lake Nasser in August 1996 and March 1997. The white boxes define the section of Lake Nasser analyzed in this paper. The lake areas within the box are 870 kmēin August 1996 and 970 kmē in March 1997. After the rise in the lake, the New Valley Project (bottom right, NASA photograph STS088-719-002) was implemented, tapping Lake Nasser from the west and transporting water into a formerly barren wadi. The project was not visible as late as June 7, 1998. The December 1998 photograph shows the recently flooded New Valley. The area of the flooded region is calculated to be about 400 kmē.
