The improvement of the economic and social well-being of the Egyptian farmer through technological change in on-farm water management is a primary objective of the Egypt Water Use and Management Project. Analysis of the use of resources on Egyptian farms is an essential part of assessing the economic efficiency of water use. Irrigation water interacts with other inputs. The best use of these inputs relative to each other, their allocations between alternative enterprises, and between farms, is a primary consideration to improvements in on-farm water management. It is also important to analyze the institutional constraints imposed on the farmers which limit their ability to achieve the most profitable allocation of water and associated inputs. The economic analysis in the Egypt Water Use and Management Project revolves around a farm record system. The farm record system was developed as a tool for use in monitoring and planning on-farm water management alternatives. The system provides data to evaluate the relative contributions of alternative enterprises to farm income, to delineate the production activities for each enterprise, and to determine factors which limit operating decisions. An analysis of the factors which impact on the economic and social well- being of the farmer as a result of the farming system at each of the project sites indicated that the importance of share rental agreements for land is increasing, cropping patterns are not static, crop productivity has increased over time, and the relative importance of livestock has increased. An analysis of the returns to water has decreased over time and, in several cases, was negative.

14 Wickramasekera, P. 1984. An analysis of cropping intensities in the paddy sector of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Journal of Agrarian Studies, 5(1):1-31.
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1189 Record No: H0798)
Achievement of self-sufficiency in rice has been the avowed objective of almost all planning exercises in Sri Lanka since independence. The strategy for increasing paddy production has emphasized expansion of cultivated area as well as promotion of land productivity. Expansion of cultivated area could be achieved by bringing new land under cultivation and increasing the intensity of cropping on already cultivated land. The importance of the latter method has been recognized since the fifties but the actual achievements have been rather marginal. The rising cost of land development in recent years has highlighted the importance of this option. The objective of this paper is to analyse trends in cropping intensity in the paddy sector. Conceptual and measurement problems are outlined first. Evolution of policies on the strategy of raising cropping intensity is examined in the next section. Recent trends in cropping intensity at the national and regional levels and determinants of cropping intensity form the subject of the remaining sections.
