In order for an irrigation system to be managed most effectively, all aspects of the system must be taken into consideration. On-farm development is frequently left to the farmers' initiative alone. However, in order for such development to occur in the most effective manner, some technical help may be diffused to the farmers. The purpose of this paper is to look at two crucial issues involved in establishing such an Irrigation Advisory Service (IAS) in Egypt. First, there is a discussion on whether or not the circumstances in Egypt will allow for an IAS to be established. Second, there is an examination of the critical parameters of organizational development which need to be addressed when attempting to establish an IAS. The presentation in this report is designed to sensitize the government of Egypt to the issues involved in establishing an Irrigation Advisory Service and provide them with the guidelines which need to be examined in making policy decisions about such an organization.

One of the major objectives of the EWUP has been to experiment with various on-farm practices to see how the irrigation management activities of the farmers may be improved. The practices tested were precision land levelling, irrigation system design (long furrows and border irrigation), irrigation scheduling, field drain elimination, marwa improvement techniques, and specific plant and crop practices. The purpose of this report is to present the farmers' evaluation of each of these practices. Fifty-four farmer programs were conducted in a six season time span beginning in summer season 1980 to winter season 1983. The package of practices introduced generally provided an increase in crop yield for the farmers but the farmers have not accepted the total number of practices. Some practices are too expensive and cannot be supported by the existing institutional setting, some are notfield applicable, and others are not seen as appropriate by the farmers to their present situations. While the practices themselves have demonstrated a positive effect on the yields for the farmers, the questions as to the ability of the farmers to adopt the practices as presented by EWUP still remains to be pursued.
