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.

Alfalfa yields decrease when water supply is inadequate. In drought years, starting and continuing with full irrigation until the water supply has been exhausted will limit full production to earlier harvests. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of discontinued irrigation on alfalfa yield during the irrigation season and when water supply is restored in the following year. Three irrigation levels, water for two harvests (i1), water for 3 harvests (i2), and water for four harvests (i3), were imposed in 1981-83 and one irrigation level (i3) in 1984. Yield response was compared among i1-i3 by harvest for 1981-83 and separately for 1984, between flood and sprinkler irrigation, and between drainage and no drainage. Generally, yields were significantly less for nonirrigation conditions, they fully recovered in 1984 after three years of deficit irrigation, yield of harvests 1 did not differ between 1984 and 1982-83, drainage condition did not affect yield, and irrigation method had a significant influence on yield for harvests 3 and 4 in 1981-83.
