The Egypt Water Use and Management Project (EWUP) was designed to assist in improving existing management practices of irrigated agriculture in Egypt, Although water use and management is emphasized in the project title, it was realized in the formulization of the project that management of all resources used in modern irrigated agriculture systems must be considered and accomplished for a permanent agriculture in Egypt. The basic project procedure is to: first, identify problems quantitatively, second, search for appropriate solutions and finally demonstrate by use of large pilot areas the viable solutions that may be diffused throughout the country. These procedures are carried out in three areas in Egypt that represent a range of Egyptian agriculture.
