A. Nyberg (mission leader and economist),S. Barghouti (agriculturalist),and S. Rehman (irrigationengineer - consultant). The mission visited Egypt in March/April1989. LMAD Developingwater resourcesand reclaimingland have long been importantcomponents of Egypt'sagricultural strategy. Since the 1952 revolution,over LE 3.0 billion (nominal)have been expended on land reclamation,and some 1.6 million feddans of land have been reclaimedfor agriculturaluse. Land reclamationcontinues to receivethe largest share, about 401, of the sectoral investmentbudget. Agriculturalsuccess on reclaimedland has, however, been checkered,making continuedinvestment in land reclamationa controversial issue. Many of the early small projects,designed for smallholdersettlement, were highly successful. But agricultural output on the land reclaimedunder the large projects of the 1960s was inconsistent with the investments. Serious problems were encountered in both the engineering and agricultural facets of this program; agriculturalproduction was managedby public sector companies which were too inflexible to adjust to the vagaries of agricultural production. The 1980s marked a substantial change in land reclamationand land settlement policies, as the private sector became more involved in the reclamationphase and production-management was completely removed from the public sector. To expand the agricultural sector, Egypt must, to a large extent, rely upon expanding its land base. Productivity (yields and cropping intensity) is relatively high on the traditional agricultural lands of the Nile Valley and Delta, thereby limiting the possibility for growth in these areas. Furthermore, agricultural land loss is substantial. 'While 1.6 million feddans have been reclaimed for agriculture, about 1.0 million feddans have been lost to urbanization. Consequently, expanding the land basQ and improving the productivity on these newly reclaimed lands is perceived by the Government to be the major avenue for sectoral growth. In addition,rapid populationgrowth combinedwith a relativelysmall cultivatedarea has resulted in one of the world's smallestarable land:manratios. Adding to the land base is seen as a way to alleviatesome of the social pressuresof urbanization and high population density. A primary objectiveof this study was to evaluate past land reclamationexperiences and identifyfactors that contributedto agriculturally successful, and unsuccessful, land reclamation projects. The review's results would provide direction for future land reclamation activities. EXECUTIVESUNNARY 1. This study was undertakento gain a better knowledgeof the current land reclamationprogram, its implementationincluding intersectorallinkages, and its impect on agriculturalproduction. The review assessedprevious reclamation experiences to identifyfactors contributingto success (failure)which could be strengthened (discontinued)in future programs. An evaluationof individualprojects was not within the scope of this work. The fundamentalobjective was to improvethe efficiencyof future investmentsin agriculturalland reclamation. Introduction 2. Land reclamationin Egypt is of ancientorigin, which for several millenniafocused on the alluvialsoils of the Nile Valley and Delta. Since the 1952 revolutionefforts have increasinglyfocused on the reclamationof desert sands, as most of the remainingareas of undeveloped alluvialsoils are relativelysmall and/orhave particularlydifficult reclamationproblems. Some 912,000feddans (gross)were reclaimedbetween 1952 and 1978 (the old-newlands) and since then, 577,700 feddanshave been reclaimed(the new-new lands). Concurrrentlyagricultural land was been lost to urbanization;the net increasein cultivatedarea between 1950 and 1988 was only a million feddans.l/ 3. Land reclamationis a controversialissue, primarily because of the large investmentsin, and poor performanceof, parastatalfarms during the 1970s. Severalreasons combined to limit the successof reclamation efforts (1952-1978)on the old-newlands. These included:(i) the lack of planning and project implementationand inadequateknowledge of the soils; (ii) the need for a differentconstruction technology for sandy soils; (iii) the lack of a productiontechnology adapted to the peculiaritiesof the desert environment; (iv)weak post-implementationassistance in extension,training, credit and input supplies,etc.; and (v) budgetary constraintsfrom implementingtoo many projectsconcurrently. Thus, lands which were not fully reclaimed/developedwere cultivated;drainage and waterloggingproblems occurred; and,an inappropriatedeltaic soil technology was applied to the desert soils. 4. Concurrentwith these highly visible,but poor performing, investmentswere a number of successfulprojects, and project components, involvingsmallholder settlers. Smallholderson the new lands consistently achievedyields superiorto those obtainedon parastatalfarms, and, after brief learningperiods, they achievedyields near the national average. The realizationthat productivityis higher in the private sector underlies the currentpolicies regarding settlement and divestiture(by parastatal companies). 5. A number of the problemswhich adverselyimpacted on earlierland reclamationhave been resolved.The implementationof physical land 1/ Agriculturalcensus of 1950 and the GeneralSurvey Authorityreport of 1988.

However,obtaining optimum benefits from reclaimedland will largelydepend upon the provisionof agriculturalservices -- research, extension,training, credit and productionpackages, water management! allocation,etc. If these servicesare adequatelyaddressed, land reclamationcan be economicallyviable since the cost of reclaimingland in Egypt is among the lowest in

  • 5.3 Water Environment
    5.3 Water Environment (1) Scarcity and Degradation of Freshwater in Egypt The water resources of Egypt could be divided into two systems; the Nile system and the groundwater system in desert area. The Nile system consisting of the Nile River, its branches, the irrigation canals, the agricultural drains and the valley and Delta aquifers. These water resources are interconnected. This system is replenished yearly with approximately 58.5 billion m3 of freshwater, as is given in the survey by MWRI. Egypt depends on the Nile for almost all of water resources; naturally, it is a crucial issue on how to preserve water quality of the River Nile. On the other hand, water in desert area is in deep sandstone aquifer and is generally non-renewable source, though considerable amounts of water are stored in the groundwater system. Table 5.13: Water Balance of the River Nile Water balance 3 Items (billion m /yr) Inflow Outflow & use HAD release 55.50 Effective rainfall 1.00 Sea water intrusion 2.00 Total inflow 58.50 Consumptive use agriculture 40.82 Consumptive use industries 0.91 Consumptive use domestic 0.45 Evaporation 3.00 Total use and evaporation 45.18 Navigation fresh water 0.26 Fayoum terminal drainage 0.65 Delta drainage to the sea 12.41 Total outflow 13.31 Source: MWRI Water demand in Egypt has been increasing due to population growth, higher standard of living, reclaiming new land, and advancing industrialization. Available water per capita per year for all purpose in 1999 was about 900ｍ3; nonetheless, it is expected to fall to 670ｍ3 and 536ｍ3 by the years 2017 and 2025, respectively.

  • Confronting Sea Level Rise on Egypt’S Nile Delta Coast
    Stories from the field Confronting sea level rise on Egypt’s Nile Delta coast The fertility of Egypt’s Nile Delta is of historic significance. Intensive agriculture in the region dates back 5,000 to 6,000 years. Today, nearly half of Egypt’s population lives in the Delta, and the region accounts for some 40% of the country’s agricultural production. In its 2007 assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declared the Nile Delta one of three sites on earth that are most vulnerable to sea level rise. The Panel projected a global By the average sea level increase of 18 to 59 cm by 2100. Several recent assessments suggest this figure numbers could be much higher. The Delta’s burgeoning population urgently needs to understand the changes under way and make informed choices about managing growth to secure their future against the million* people 19.4 live in the Coastal effects of rising seas. Nile Delta area percent of Egyptian To guide these decisions, a research team linking the Coastal Research Institute of Egypt’s National 40 agricultural Water Research Center, Alexandria University’s Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, and the products come from the Delta Center for Development Services is bringing more precision to where and how Delta communities percent of the are most vulnerable, and assessing cost-effective options to help them prepare.

  • Of the Anthophora-Species of Egypt
    Prof. Dr. H. PRIESNER A REVIEW OF THE ANTHOPHORA-SPECIES OF EGYPT [Hymenoptera : Apidae] A HEVIEW OF THE ANTHOPHORA-SPECIES OF EGYPT (Hymenoptera : Apidae] by Prof. Dr. H. PRIESNER INTRODUCTION Owing to the difficulties I encountered in trying to identify the Egyptian material of Anthophora in the collections of the Cairo and Ain Shams Universities, I had to penetrate more deeply into this matter, especially when I found that quite a number of species of the local collections were no doubt incorrectly named. With the progress of science, in our particular case with the improvements achieved by finding new distinctive characters and especially in the better relative evaluation of those already known, gained by experience and eye training, there lies upon us the bitter task to criticise and correct our late authorities on this subject who actually did all the spade work that enabled us to start on a considerable higher level of knowledge than that having been at their disposal. Apart from the relatively excellent work of KLUG (1845) and a number of species described by SPINOLA and - much later - GRIBODO, most of the taxonomic work on Anthophora of this country was done by H. FRIESE and A. ALFKEN, their work having been mainly based upon the Apid collections of our late A. ANDRES, while my late friend ALFKEN had also examined specimens he received from the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. A. ALFIERI and the author. ALFKEN had, obviously with the intention of avoiding the creation of synonyms, identified a number of Egyptian species with such of Asiatic origin.
