Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

This is a comprehensive analysis of the economics of international aid that provides a systematic framework for understanding planning and executing aid programs. Though much has been written on different aspects of international aid this book was the first to synthesize information on all facets of aid and to investigate the consequences for both donor and recipient nations of the transfer of public resources in aid programs. The authors first present the history of aid discuss the principles that govern aid as practiced by the United States the United Kingdom Russia China the United Nations and other donors and then provide a broad theoretical structure in which to discuss particular questions taken up in subsequent chapters. The book systematically covers all aspects of the aid relationship and in addition to broad coverage of aid programs analyzes details of the aid relationship to discern the function of the different variables of aid. In one coherent volume International Aid outlines sound theoretical bases for discussion of aid programs provides valuable insights into contemporary practices and offers far-reaching suggestions on the future of aid programs. On first publication in the mid-1960s in the midst of the Cold War this book had considerable influence and its interest outlasts its parochial times as one of the first to discuss the effects of aid on both donor and recipient countries. | International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries
