Egypt suffers from severe water scarcity, which affects the sustainability of agricultural production. Therefore, the sustainable use of available water resources under water scarcity requires the adoption of water allocation policies favoring conservative and efficient use. Water management with free satellite data and geographical information system modeling capabilities can be a valuable approach for optimizing the benefits from the available water resources to meet the requirements for agricultural lands. This study aims to (i) detect and evaluate changes in agricultural areas because of urbanization and reclamation activities using Landsat data in 1999, 2009, and 2019 and (ii) update the irrigation water demand by monitoring the seasonal changes of agricultural area based on normalized difference vegetation index. Water management of Fayoum Governorate in Egypt is characterized by a non-uniform distribution flow over its canals; thus, two pilot areas are selected. The first site is the Sinnuris canal, the served areas of which represents the urbanization problem. The other site is the Gharaq canal, the served areas of which represents the urbanization and agricultural expansion situations. The results reveal that changes in agricultural areas considerably affect the uniformity of water management. Urbanization activities reduce the agricultural area by ~5.0% and 5.7% in Sinnuris and Gharaq served areas, respectively. However, the newly cultivated lands in Gharaq preserve an increase of 5.8% in the total agricultural area. The considerably changed water allocation strategies in these districts since Sinnuris has an excess of 1.5 m3/s of water supply, while the Gharaq area faced an irrigation shortage of 0.26 m3/s in 2019. As per the proposed approach, the decision-makers can readjust the water allocation plan to satisfy the water requirements for other demand areas.

Municipal solid waste generation and disposal are significant environmental problems in both urban and rural communities due to the increasing population, especially in developing countries, and the lack or absence of a proper waste management service. The present work aims to study the waste management system in rural areas to select an appropriate treatment facility to improve the waste management system. Hence, three villages (Qalamshah, Monshat Ramzy, and Abou Defeya) in Markaz Etsa in Fayoum Governorate were selected as study areas due to the waste management system weakness. In this respect, characterization study in these three villages where MSW management services are either non-existent or insufficient: thus, making them a high priority and an effective advancement step towards achieving the bigger goal of sustainable municipal solid waste management. The results showed that the percentage of organic in these three villages is 76%, 67%, and 80% without diapers percentage which represents 9.3%, 14.3%, and 5.8% respectively. Three life cycle assessment scenarios (landfill scenario, anaerobic digestion, and Composting Scenario) were carried out and simulated using WRATE software. The composting and anaerobic scenarios have comparable and similar values in the following categories: global warming potential, acid rain, eutrophication potential, and resource depletion. In the category of acidification, the composting and anaerobic categories produce higher values than the landfill scenario. Finally, the feasibility study proves that the compost treatment plant is the best solution for the current situation of municipal solid waste for the annual savings by an amount of EGP 1,365,043 over the project period. Also, the compost solution is beneficial due to the availability of areas in Fayoum governorate and will be used for land reclamations as the Egyptian government started to reclaim a huge desert area near these villages.
