1 Hanson, E. G.; El-Kady, M.; Litwiller, K. E.; Early, A. C. 1984. Impact of turnout size and condition on water management on farms. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. vi, 29p. (EWUP technical report no.71)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.6.2 G232 HAN Record No: H033)
The following report describes the legal irrigation throughout turnouts to mesgas and reviews the design assumptions, legal implications and current utility of the existing methods in Egypt. The legal limitations currently imposed upon the turnouts, based on specific site measurements, are presented, together with the responses from the Ministry of Irrigation and farmers to the inadequacies of the current turnouts. Data collected from the field sites indicates the necessity of increasing the size of turnouts in accordance with irrigation demands for the season and crops grown throughout Egypt. The recommended larger capacity turnouts with adjustable gates includes the design modification requirements of modified inlet shapes and provision for trash guards. These larger gated turnouts will require an irrigation technician to assume the responsibility of the current gatekeeper function and to interface with the farmers regarding their irrigating scheduling. In addition to recommendations regarding closer management between the irrigation technician and the farmers, it is suggested that training centers be established to assist in the development of water distribution management methods between the irrigation engineers and the water user associations.

One of the major objectives of the EWUP has been to experiment with various on-farm practices to see how the irrigation management activities of the farmers may be improved. The practices tested were precision land levelling, irrigation system design (long furrows and border irrigation), irrigation scheduling, field drain elimination, marwa improvement techniques, and specific plant and crop practices. The purpose of this report is to present the farmers' evaluation of each of these practices. Fifty-four farmer programs were conducted in a six season time span beginning in summer season 1980 to winter season 1983. The package of practices introduced generally provided an increase in crop yield for the farmers but the farmers have not accepted the total number of practices. Some practices are too expensive and cannot be supported by the existing institutional setting, some are notfield applicable, and others are not seen as appropriate by the farmers to their present situations. While the practices themselves have demonstrated a positive effect on the yields for the farmers, the questions as to the ability of the farmers to adopt the practices as presented by EWUP still remains to be pursued.
