The results of EWUP studies at each of three locations in Egypt: El-Mansuriya, Kafr El-Shiek and El-Minya, to characterize the conventional farm irrigation systems used by farmers in each area are summarized. The method used is surface gravity flooding of small, flat basins or small basins with short furrows. Numerous irrigation field trials on farms at the three EWUP study areas have been conducted. The practices tested included precision land levelling to dead level; level border strip or level long furrow irrigation system design; and teaching and advising farmers concerning improved on-farm water management practices in the use of the improved systems. Results were found to be highly successful when the spatial and temporal variations in farm irrigation system design factors were properly accounted for. A significant factor is the need to continue working with the farmer after system construction, teaching and advising him of improved management practices with the new systems. EWUP experience has shown that when farmers are well advised in using the new systems improved results are significant.

High water table levels presenting hazards to crop growth were measured at field sites in upper, middle, and lower Egypt. Water table contribution to evapotranspiration was significant at each site. A water balance model of the water table aquifer was used to predict the effect of various interventions on water table levels. Desirable lower water table levels could not be maintained through on-farm irrigation efficiency improvement including lining of on-farm channels while using surface irrigation methods. Branch, distributary, and private canal lining would have negligible effect on water table levels. Corresponding increases in required water deliveries would be expected.
3 Hanson, E. G.; El-Kady, M.; Litwiller, K. E.; Early, A. C. 1984. Impact of turnout size and condition on water management on farms. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. vi, 29p. (EWUP technical report no.71)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.6.2 G232 HAN Record No: H033)
The following report describes the legal irrigation throughout turnouts to mesgas and reviews the design assumptions, legal implications and current utility of the existing methods in Egypt. The legal limitations currently imposed upon the turnouts, based on specific site measurements, are presented, together with the responses from the Ministry of Irrigation and farmers to the inadequacies of the current turnouts. Data collected from the field sites indicates the necessity of increasing the size of turnouts in accordance with irrigation demands for the season and crops grown throughout Egypt. The recommended larger capacity turnouts with adjustable gates includes the design modification requirements of modified inlet shapes and provision for trash guards. These larger gated turnouts will require an irrigation technician to assume the responsibility of the current gatekeeper function and to interface with the farmers regarding their irrigating scheduling. In addition to recommendations regarding closer management between the irrigation technician and the farmers, it is suggested that training centers be established to assist in the development of water distribution management methods between the irrigation engineers and the water user associations.
