The results of EWUP studies at each of three locations in Egypt: El-Mansuriya, Kafr El-Shiek and El-Minya, to characterize the conventional farm irrigation systems used by farmers in each area are summarized. The method used is surface gravity flooding of small, flat basins or small basins with short furrows. Numerous irrigation field trials on farms at the three EWUP study areas have been conducted. The practices tested included precision land levelling to dead level; level border strip or level long furrow irrigation system design; and teaching and advising farmers concerning improved on-farm water management practices in the use of the improved systems. Results were found to be highly successful when the spatial and temporal variations in farm irrigation system design factors were properly accounted for. A significant factor is the need to continue working with the farmer after system construction, teaching and advising him of improved management practices with the new systems. EWUP experience has shown that when farmers are well advised in using the new systems improved results are significant.

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.

The purpose of this report is to document the actual irrigation practices of the farmers in two Egypt Water Use and Management Project (EWUP) areas, Abyuha in El-Minya Governorate and Abu Raya in Kafr El-Sheik Governorate. Data on the farmer practices were abstracted from the EWUP R4 Farm Records for the 1979-1980, 1980-1981, and 1981-1982 record years. The study case data were divided into 15 day periods with the winter closure period eliminated from the analysis. A comparison of the actual planting and harvest dates with the expected dates indicated that the actual dates were later than the expected dates by about two weeks. A comparison of the actual number of irrigations with the expected number of irrigations indicated that farmers apply close to the expected number or fewer. The analysis indicated that irrigation gaps for some crops range as high as 89 days. The aggregate demand on the delivery system in both study areas tended to be highest in the periods immediately before and after winter closure and the summer periods, June through September. Comparing the measured water discharged into the Abyha canal with an estimated demand for selected periods indicated that relative fluctuations in the delivery of water correspond fairly well to the demand during the same period. A comparison of the measured water discharge into the Om Sen canal with an estimated demand for selected periods indicated excess delivery of water during the winter periods, periods where shortages of water delivery could have occurred, and a general lack of correspondence of the fluctuations in discharge to the fluctuations in demand.
