In order for an irrigation system to be managed most effectively, all aspects of the system must be taken into consideration. On-farm development is frequently left to the farmers' initiative alone. However, in order for such development to occur in the most effective manner, some technical help may be diffused to the farmers. The purpose of this paper is to look at two crucial issues involved in establishing such an Irrigation Advisory Service (IAS) in Egypt. First, there is a discussion on whether or not the circumstances in Egypt will allow for an IAS to be established. Second, there is an examination of the critical parameters of organizational development which need to be addressed when attempting to establish an IAS. The presentation in this report is designed to sensitize the government of Egypt to the issues involved in establishing an Irrigation Advisory Service and provide them with the guidelines which need to be examined in making policy decisions about such an organization.

Rural sociologists involved in an-action oriented interdisciplinary project perform a variety of roles. This paper examines how the rural sociologists working in an on-farm water management project in Egypt execute their tasks by fulfilling the roles of analyst, advisor, and innovator. Such roles are performed in two distinct contexts existing at the same time: in an interdisciplinary context and in a cross-cultural context. The rural sociologists of the project have to coordinate their efforts with agronomists, economists, and engineers who are all focussing on specific problems which are to be implemented. In addition, the sociologists must also direct their efforts to both Americans and Egyptians who are working together. How these different roles are performed and what they mean to the project, as well as to the sociologists, is analyzed in terms of how rural sociologists function as team members.

Irrigated agriculture, by its very nature, is a joint enterprise that requires the cooperation of all water users and those government agencies and other organizations that provide services to farmers. This book illustrates irrigation associations and how they can help a local area increase its agricultural productivity through farmers working together to construct, manage, maintain and/or rehabilitate the irrigation systems that they can use.
