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 paper examines the opportunities for increased investment in SSWCS activities, particularly in the African countries most affected by the recent drought cycles. Such schemes can both contribute to community level food production and security and also show a comparative advantage in the effectiveness with which they utilize of scarce resources as foreign exchange and technical and managerial skills. The paper briefly reviews the historic experience of irrigation in general in the Sub-Saharan region and then, on the basis of more detailed country reviews, presents options for future SSWCS developments. In Chapter 5, approaches to SSWCS programme preparation are presented through an elaboration of the types of considerations, criteria and possible organizational arrangements that should be covered to permit project appraisal by a multilateral financing agency. The paper concludes with recommendations concerning development strategies and proposes future activities.

This paper discusses two broad investment questions which will be ofprime concern for decision makers over the next few decades. The first is the trade-off between new irrigation projects and rehabilitation andmaintenance of old systems. The second is the trade-off between small and large scale projects.
