The most profitable use of resources on a typical Egyptian farm is analyzed in view of resource, institutional and government policies. The linear programming model of a farm management decision problem is based on an average sized farm found in a survey of 50 farms in Kafr El Shiekh. By solution of the model one can observe the interdependencies. Further, changes in the method of irrigation or in the government's system of water supply are evaluated with the model. Four sets of policy alternatives are examined. The base run reflects existing policies, a second option includes only administered prices. Additionally, a free market alternative is tested and finally, a free market coupled with a system to charge farmers for the delivery of water. Results show that existing policies do not greatly distort the optimal mix of enterprises but it is likely that farmers would have incentive to achieve higher crop yields under different price policies. As yields associated with higher commodity prices are achieved, farmer's incentive and ability to adopt improved water management practices would be enhanced.

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.
