Dr. Islam Sabry AlZayed (born in 1984) began his career in the early of 2000, after several years of civil engineering study in Cairo, Egypt. He believes that achieving clean water and improving water use efficiency are crucial elements of development and poverty alleviation in Egypt. Therefore, he joined the Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) in the same year of his graduation. WRRI is one of twelve research institutes at the National Water Research Center (NWRC) of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI). Dealing with flash floods in arid zones with Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) was his topic when he came to Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Germany, in 2008 on a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Scholarship to obtain his master degree. After completion of his M.Sc. degree, he got another scholarship for the PhD studies from the International Postgraduate Studies in Water Technologies (IPSWaT) by Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
