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".

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1076 Record No: H0710)
Estimates of net private and social benefits to irrigation water supply are shown for a case study area in the northern Nile delta region of Egypt. Net benefits are defined as gross revenues minus costs of production, including an imputed charge for family labor. Linear programming models of representative farms in the study area are formulated with particular reference to the possibilities of using less water per crop or shifting crops in response to changes in water supply. Model solutions are based both on government prices (with production controls) and hypothetical international market prices (with relaxed controls). Five different water supply scenarios are analyzed from current adequate levels of supply down to 40 percent reduction from that level. Total, average, and marginal net benefit functions are reported. Implications of the differences between the social and private benefit functions are discussed.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 183 Record No: H0887)
This report is the result of a survey to ascertain the utilization of weirs in Ubon Province. The sites selected were in Amphur (District) Amnatcharoen, Amphur Warinchumrab and Amphur Dej-Udom. In each Amphur the weirs were randomly chosen for a total of 15 sites in order to obtain some basic data for implementing weir construction. The survey was divided into (1) study of the weir (2) interviews with villagers concerning building of the weir, utilization, maintenance and villagers' views on the weir. It was observed that most of the weirs built in those three Amphurs could store water over the dry season. Villagers use water mainly to grow vegetables, feed livestock and for fishing. During the wet season, if the rainfall is erratic, villagers pump water from the weir into rice fields. The main problems were that the crests of weirs were too low, only a small amount of water could be stored for the dry season and sedimentation occurred around the front of the weir. Most villagers prefer to have weirs with an adjustable crest. This type of weir is similar to weirs constructed for the KKU-N.Z. project.
