The Egypt Water Use and Management Project team selected the Abyuha area, in Middle Egypt, to conduct irrigation management studies. The maize-cotton-sugarcane cropping pattern, typical in this area, is representative of much of Middle Egypt. The team characterized the major physical, hydrologic, biological, and socio-economic factors operating inthe system under study; then they analyzed the data and identified major factors that were acting as constraints or problems of the system. The results of the study were used to develop a research program designed to assist both governmental organizations and the farmer in removing, where possible, irrigation management constraints in the system. This process is called "problem identification".

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.

20 Geertz, C. 1972. The wet and the dry: Traditional irrigation in Bali and Morocco. Human Ecology, 1(1):23-39.
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1405 Record No: H01642)
The comparative perspective is of central importance to effective analysis in human ecology. This paper compares "traditional" irrigation systems in two quite disparate settings: east central Morocco and southeastern Bali. Bali, which has a tropical climate and a plentiful water supply, displays a highly collective approach to the organization of irrigation facilities. Morocco, which is essentially an arid country, displays, on the contrary, a much more individual, property-based approach to water regulation. The internal organization of these two regimes is described and their connection with more general cultural and ecological factors is traced in an attempt to demonstrate that patterns of adaptation are susceptible to the same pattern analysis as other aspects of social and cultural life. The contrast between the strongly group-oriented Balinese approach to water control and distribution and the highly individualistic Moroccan one is said to extend in an overall way to the two societies as a whole.
