1 Hanson, E. G.; El-Kady, M.; Litwiller, K. E.; Early, A. C. 1984. Impact of turnout size and condition on water management on farms. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. vi, 29p. (EWUP technical report no.71)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.6.2 G232 HAN Record No: H033)
The following report describes the legal irrigation throughout turnouts to mesgas and reviews the design assumptions, legal implications and current utility of the existing methods in Egypt. The legal limitations currently imposed upon the turnouts, based on specific site measurements, are presented, together with the responses from the Ministry of Irrigation and farmers to the inadequacies of the current turnouts. Data collected from the field sites indicates the necessity of increasing the size of turnouts in accordance with irrigation demands for the season and crops grown throughout Egypt. The recommended larger capacity turnouts with adjustable gates includes the design modification requirements of modified inlet shapes and provision for trash guards. These larger gated turnouts will require an irrigation technician to assume the responsibility of the current gatekeeper function and to interface with the farmers regarding their irrigating scheduling. In addition to recommendations regarding closer management between the irrigation technician and the farmers, it is suggested that training centers be established to assist in the development of water distribution management methods between the irrigation engineers and the water user associations.

A study of three of the farms of El-Hammami area in El- Mansuriya region, Giza Governorate, was carried out to evaluate the irrigation of sandy soils. The on-farm irrigation practices in the area indicated that the farmers at the beginning of the canal apply more water than those at the end of the canal. The irrigation application efficiency of the farmers at the tail end of the canal was greater than that of the farmers at the beginning. The data also indicated that subsurface irrigation due to seepage from neighboring fields contributed substantially to crop water use. The study showed that surface irrigation might not be the best way to irrigate these sandy soils.
3 Naim, M. A.; Semaika, M.; Zanati, M.; Keleg, A.; Moustafa, A. T. A.; Soltanpour, P. 1984. Zinc fertility status of the soils in project sites. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. vi, 24p. (EWUP technical report no.52)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.4 G232 NAI Record No: H043)
This report is a summary of a series of studies on zinc status in thesoils of the project sites, Kafr El-Sheikh, El-Mansuriya, and El- Minya, during the agricultural years 1978/79 and 1980/81. The studies included a soil fertility survey and on-farm tests for various crops. The results indicate that: (1) there is a wide range in available soil zinc within the different Project areas, and a crop response to added zinc fertilizer would be expected; and(2) response to zinc differed from one crop to another and from replicate to replicate. The crops tested were wheat, broad beans, cotton, corn, flax and rice.
4 Layton, J. J.; Sallam, M. S. 1982. The role of rural sociologists in an interdisciplinary action oriented project: An Egyptian case study. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. v, 27p. (EWUP technical report no.13)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.6.2 G232 LAY Record No: H046)
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.

The importance of managing water once it arrives at the farm site is the central issue in this report. The study limits its focus to the technical side of on-farm water management.
