The concept of modernization of irrigation systems is distinguished from the concept of rehabilitation by the International Congress of Irrigation and Drainage (ICID). In dealing with the subject of modernization as opposed to rehabilitation, one is faced with the question of what does modernization mean in terms of specific changes? During the past 10 years, five international conferences have convened to discuss modernization and rehabilitation of irrigation systems. Almost without exception authors and discussers have only dealt with rehabilitation. On-farm water management in many developing countries has been described as a "no man's land" producing uncertainty as how to proceed with modernization. This has resulted in rehabilitation of systems rather than modernization. The authors contend, however, that modernization should occur using a rational process with an end result that is appropriate for its users and the system. The process should deal with not only the requirements affecting modernization internal to the area, but also, the external requirements and the associated feedback mechanisms for achieving the objectives of the modernized area and the enhancement of its performance. A concept was suggested for modernizing Egypt's irrigation system and more particularly its irrigation-farming system. A process was developed by an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists for modernizing the farming system. The task was largely a learning experience during development and testing of the process. This process involves: (1) Problem identification, (2) Search for solutions, (3) Test solutions and (4) Dissemination of proven solutions. This process is discussed as it is applied to a farming system in the Lower Delta of Egypt. Although the process is simple and it can generally be handled by local consultants, it nonetheless, represents a quantitative way to proceed with modernization. As a result of this process, Egypt has adopted a National Irrigation Improvement Program to modernize their irrigation system.
