The paper analyses some of the tools which will be needed to make the management of irrigation systems less of an art and more of a science. The paper is divided into four parts: (1) performance criteria in irrigation management; (2) techniques by means of which performance might be monitored for large-scale irrigation systems; (3) diagnostic tools required for irrigation management and their desirable characteristics; and (4) management tools available for analyzing interventions to improve irrigation performance.

The results of EWUP studies at each of three locations in Egypt: El-Mansuriya, Kafr El-Shiek and El-Minya, to characterize the conventional farm irrigation systems used by farmers in each area are summarized. The method used is surface gravity flooding of small, flat basins or small basins with short furrows. Numerous irrigation field trials on farms at the three EWUP study areas have been conducted. The practices tested included precision land levelling to dead level; level border strip or level long furrow irrigation system design; and teaching and advising farmers concerning improved on-farm water management practices in the use of the improved systems. Results were found to be highly successful when the spatial and temporal variations in farm irrigation system design factors were properly accounted for. A significant factor is the need to continue working with the farmer after system construction, teaching and advising him of improved management practices with the new systems. EWUP experience has shown that when farmers are well advised in using the new systems improved results are significant.

High water table levels presenting hazards to crop growth were measured at field sites in upper, middle, and lower Egypt. Water table contribution to evapotranspiration was significant at each site. A water balance model of the water table aquifer was used to predict the effect of various interventions on water table levels. Desirable lower water table levels could not be maintained through on-farm irrigation efficiency improvement including lining of on-farm channels while using surface irrigation methods. Branch, distributary, and private canal lining would have negligible effect on water table levels. Corresponding increases in required water deliveries would be expected.
