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.

The green revolution has been the dominant orientation for rural development programmes in India for over two decades now. As a strategy it implied the introduction of high yielding varieties, extensive use of farm machinery, energised well-irrigation, use of high doses of fertilizers and pesticides directed at improving farm production. It was optimistically reckoned that from this would emerge lasting solutions to the perpetual problem of rural poverty and hunger. This paper examines the extensive literature which has accumulated about the green revolution with a view to determine the nature of impact of the development strategy on different sections of rural society. Has the green revolution succeeded in reducing socio-economic inequalities in rural India?
