Cotton-producing areas of the Central Sudan, bordered by the Blue and the White Nile, have been subjected to repeated applications of pesticides. This region is irrigated by a series of canals, the Gezira canals, which hold large amounts of fresh water. Lake Nubia at the Sudan-Egypt border is another important fresh water reservoir and fisheries ground. Fish from both the Gezira and Lake Nubia showed elevated concentrations of pesticides, suggesting that continued pesticides application would endanger the aquatic fauna of this region and the proposed fresh water fishery.
苏丹中部的棉花产区，与青尼罗河和白尼罗河接壤，一直遭受着农药的反复使用。该地区由一系列灌溉运河——杰济拉运河灌溉，运河中储存着大量淡水。苏丹与埃及边境的努比亚湖是另一个重要的淡水水库和渔场。来自杰济拉运河和努比亚湖的鱼类体内农药浓度升高，这表明持续使用农药将危及该地区的水生动物群以及拟建的淡水渔业。
