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.

This presents the premises, concepts, perspectives, and vocabulary necessary to place consideration of local farmer irrigation organization into an interdisciplinary perspective in company with the main and farm system irrigation work that has been undertaken by many investigators. It employs a set of concepts to frame an argument about the nature and design of local farmer irrigation organizations, a line of reasoning which is advanced as being useful to policy makers and analysts of local organization and farmer participation in irrigation development.
