A water delivery system in Middle Egypt was renovated to providecontrolled gravity flow for more efficient distribution and use of irrigation water. After thorough planning and design, structural specifications were prepared for watercourse renovation, hydraulic control structures, internal access roads, and land leveling. Contracts were awarded and construction was initiated. The effort to perform extensive renovation of a water delivery system at the farm level required an experimental approach to develop the best methods for quality construction with the least disruption to farming practices and irrigation schedules. A summary of the specifications, the contracts and costs, the construction procedures, and recommendations for future work were prepared.
