Future increases in Egyptian and Sudanese water resources may come from reduction of the large water losses of the Upper White Nile's swampy regions, particularly from the Bahr el Ghazal swamp. In this work, new methods of water balance estimation which incorporate the dynamic interaction of climate, soil and vegetation are applied to the Bahr el Ghazal basin in order to study its contribution to the flow of the White Nile, and to estimate the potential water recovery through drainage of this swamp.
