The improvement of the economic and social well-being of the Egyptian farmer through technological change in on-farm water management is a primary objective of the Egypt Water Use and Management Project. Analysis of the use of resources on Egyptian farms is an essential part of assessing the economic efficiency of water use. Irrigation water interacts with other inputs. The best use of these inputs relative to each other, their allocations between alternative enterprises, and between farms, is a primary consideration to improvements in on-farm water management. It is also important to analyze the institutional constraints imposed on the farmers which limit their ability to achieve the most profitable allocation of water and associated inputs. The economic analysis in the Egypt Water Use and Management Project revolves around a farm record system. The farm record system was developed as a tool for use in monitoring and planning on-farm water management alternatives. The system provides data to evaluate the relative contributions of alternative enterprises to farm income, to delineate the production activities for each enterprise, and to determine factors which limit operating decisions. An analysis of the factors which impact on the economic and social well- being of the farmer as a result of the farming system at each of the project sites indicated that the importance of share rental agreements for land is increasing, cropping patterns are not static, crop productivity has increased over time, and the relative importance of livestock has increased. An analysis of the returns to water has decreased over time and, in several cases, was negative.
