SUBJECT: PROJECTS WITH FAVORABLE HUMAN IMPACT

As you know, Egypt was graduated from IDA over a decade ago. Therefore, we have to look at "closed" projects to find the type of projects which have a favorable impact on the population in the area. The ones that come to mind readily are the following:

(i) The two drainage projects (Upper Egypt II - Credit 637-EGT and Loan 1285-EGT; and Nile Delta II - Credit 719, a nd Loans 1439-EGT and 1440-EGT) which were completed in mid-80s resulted in (a) significant gains in production, varying from 5 per cent to 15 per cent in yields, benefiting small farmers almost exclus ively; (b) substantial progress in reducing the prevalence rate of infection and control of bilharzia over a very large area inhabited by 10.2 million people; and (c) reversal of soil deterioration due to high water table and salt build-up in some 900,000 feddans served by these projects.

(ii) The New Lands Development Project (Credit 1083- EGT) satisfied the twin objectives of helping the rural poor and establishing a viable farming system on some 24,500 feddans of reclaimed desert lands. It resulted in the establishment of 21 villages equipped with housing, potable water, electricity, health care, educational facilities, shops, workshop space, milk collection storage facilities, community development center, women's program to promote better child care and nutrition and provision of sewing and handicraft training, etc. All these activities have resulted in better living conditions for new settlers who were either landless farmers or unemployed graduates. In all, there were 3,460 settlers who benefited from the investment. One village settlement is totally composed of bedouins The bilharzia control program carried out under the project helped in consolidating disease control and focused on both vector control and chemotherapy as preventive and curative measures.

Re : Upper Egypt Drainage 11 (Cr . 63 7-EGT) and Nile Delta Drainage 11 (Cr . 719- EGT) Projects

Thank you for your letter of August 20, 1987 sending progress rPports for the subject projects, covering the quarter ending June 30, 1987 .

I am sure you share our concern over the poor progress made with the installation of field drainage in Upper Egypt from July 1986 to June 1987 . In fact, during this period, some 43 , 000 feddans have been completed of which fielct drainage was installed in 9,000 feddans during the quarter unoer review . The achievement in tnis quarter is about 40% below your target and , at the above-mentioned annual rate of progress, more than two yPars are required to complete field drainage in the remaining area of about 106 , 000 feddans. As you would appreciate, a marked improvement in construction management by both the Drainage Authority and the public sector contractors 1s required in order to improve progress . I hope you will take necessary measures to substantially increase installation rate to complete this component as soon as possible . Please keep us informed of the progress made in this regard .

As regards the Nile Delta Project, we are pleased to note tnat all works have been completed exce pting the Abu Hommos and El Areen pumping stations. The pumping station! at Abu Hommos requires your priority attention because some 36,000 feddans tile-drained in its service area cannot function properly because of the high water levels in open drains .

With best regards,

Mr. s. A. Rehman (Irrigation Engineer/EMPAI)

G. Le Moigne (Chief/AGRPR)

EGYPT - Upper Egypt Drainage II and Nile Drainage II Projects Comments and clearance on Project Completion Reports

1. The Overview and Project Completion Reports are concise and cover the important points. Many lessons c n be learned from the problems noted. Overoptimistic schedules, lack of EPADP to effect-ively enforce contract provisions ;' lack of pre-drainage investigations -./' and poor public sector contractor performance 11 contributed to the project implementation problems. Other findings and procurement delays, as well as institutional or managerial ineptness, multiplied these problems.

2. A concern that does not seem to be reflected adequately in the report involves scheduling of infrastructure. Pump stations that are required to provide proper outlets for tile drainage systems should be completed prior to installation of tile drainage outlets that will be inundated for long durations. Tile systems that are subjected to long submergence tend to develop sediment blockages; and if drain tiles are used, misalignment problems develop. Sediment problems can be corrected by using jet-cleaning equipment, but misalignment problems can contribute to system inefficiency and less than optimum effectiveness for the life of a project. These problems can also develop with prolonged periods of poor outlet-channel maintenance. The misalignment problems are not as likely to occur with corrugated plastic tubing as they are with rigid drain tile. Gravel-envelope material around the tile also helps minimize these problems.

3. Even though schedules for construction of drainage components were overoptimistic for Egypt in these cases ;/this cannot be transferred directly to similar efforts in other developing countries. The original estimates to complete this work were not that unrealistic and ( could have been met if such a large number of delaying actions were not allowed to accumulate.

4. It should be noted that the drainage problems were also aggra-vated by the low efficiency of irrigation at the subsystem level. This is partially due to the reluctance to irrigate during the night.

P-1866

Mr. Rehman -2- May 29, 1987

5. The joint Dutch-Egyptian Experts Panel recommended omitting the gravel envelope in soils that had a clay content of 40% or more. This rule of thumb is likely proper for Egyptian conditions but is dangerous to transfer to other countries. The clay content is a good indicator, but the real factor is soil cohesion. Many arid soils with clay contents of over 40% still require gravel envelopes due to dispersion caused by the salts. Dispersive conditions reduce cohesion greatly, and soil particles tend to move independently and not adhere to each other, thus creating the need for proper envelope protection around drains.

COMMENTS BY ORIGINATING CHIEF: The Loan Agreement became effective on February 20, 1987, almost 11 months after signing and more than 20 months after Board Approval. Despite this delay, progress has generally been satisfactory in initiating !CB procu-rement, and thus in getting this project moving (refer Aide Memoire para. 8). The next supervision mission should follow up with EPADP Chairman on tendering and award of field drainage contracts for about 270,000 fed. in the Delta, and on timetable fo r implementing Upper Egypt components with financing from African Development Bank and African Development Fund.

Nile Delta Draina_ge II Project

Section 3:

Current Status. All components of the project have been completed excepting the Delingat Extension and the Abu Hommos pumping stations. Erection of equipment was in progress at the former and construction of substructure was underway at the latter. The Loan and the Credit were closed on 6/30/85, two years behind schedule. The pumping station at Delingat is expected to be completed by 6/30/87, and that at Abu Hommos by 12/31/87. The main reasons for delay in completing the project were: the time elapsed in making arrangements for the production of PVC pipes with KfW financing; award of field drainage contracts two years behind schedule, and delays in the construction of field drainage and pumping stations due mainly to poor performance by public sector contractors.

The PCR prepared by EPADP has been revised with the assistance of FAO/CP, including addition of ex-post evaluation. The basic ERR i s now estimated a t 23.6%, compared to appraisal estimate of 23.0%.

Recovery of field drainage costs has been on average below 25% of amounts due .

Section 4:

EPADP Chairman agreed with the mission to expedite civil works of the Abu Hommos pumping station by the High Dam Company--a public sector contractor--so that it can be completed by 12/31/87. Progress with erection of equipment at Delingat Ext. pumping station assures completion by 6/30/87 .

EPADP Chairman appreciated that the revised PCR fully reflected physical, financial and economic data furnished by his staff.

Compared to total cost recovery of EE 1.2 million in 1985/86, the collections made between July 1986 to January 1987 have improved to about EE 1.6 million. EPADP Chairman agreed to closely monitor the performance to furthe r improve collections.

Section 5:

The SPN missions for Drainage V Project should continue to monitor progress of the Delingat Ext. and Abu Hommos pumping stations to ensure completion of construction by 6/30/87 and 12/31/87.

The PCR overview will be prepared soon.

As agreed under Drainage V Project, EPADP is preparing a plan outlining measures anp procedures to improve recovery of field drainage costs. The Bank should closely follow its preparation, ensuring its submission not later than May __ l.:j, 1987. This plan should set targets for cost recovery and outline measures and procedures to achieve those targets.

Upper Egypt Drainage II Project

Section 3:

Project Status~ All components have been completed excepting field drainage progress on which, as of 1/31/87, amounted to 361,000 fed, or about 72% of the project objective. The Loan and Credit were closed on 6/30/85, two years behind schedule. Field drainage in the remaining area of 139,000 fed. is expected to be completed by 12/31/88, five and half years behind the original closing date. The reasons for this serious delay were: the two year delay in completion of three USAID-financed PVC pipe factories; award of contracts two and a half years behind schedule; shortage of cement, and implementation delays due mainly to poor performance by public sector contractors.

The PCR prepared by EPADP has been revised with the assistance of FAO/CP, including addition of ex-post evaluation. Despite serious delay in implementation, the basic ERR estimated in the PCR is 14%.

Recovery of field drainage costs has been consistently poor .

Section 4:

EPADP Chairman agreed with the mission to critically review contractors' performance and take remedial actions so that the rate of installing field drainage can be improved from 50,000 to 70,000 fed./year and thus complete the remaining works in about two years. Necessary assistance in this regard will be provided by Dutch experts.

EPADP Chairman appreciated that the revised PCR fully reflected physical, financial and economic data furnished by his st_aff.

Compared to recovery of field drainage· costs amounting to £E 1.2 million in 1985/86, the collections made between July 1986 to January 1987 have improved to about £E 1.6 million. EPADP Chairman agreed to closely monitor performance to further improve collections.

Section 5:

The SPN missions for Drainage V Project should monitor progress of field drainage in the remaining area, and also assist in upgrading implementation planning and monitoring system.

The PCR overview will be prepared soon.

As agreed under Drainage V Project, EPADP is preparing a plan outlining measures and procedures to improve recovery of field drainage costs. The Bank should closely follow its preparation, ensuring its submission not later than May 15, 1987. This plan should set targets for cost recovery and outline measures and procedures to achieve those targets.

Drainage V Project

Section 3:

Current Status: The Loan Agreement became effective on February 20, 1987, almost 11 months after signing and more than 20 months after Board approval . Despite this delay, mobilization progress has generally been satisfactory. According to the program agreed with the July 1986 review mission, action has been taken on initiating !CB procurement with respect to the Delta components for: 14 hydraulic excavators, 3,200 m tons PVC powder, field drainage works covering 112,600 fed. and 30 mobile flushing units. _ One IBM Personal Computer AT has been provided to Planning and Follow-up Dept. _to facilitate construction planning and monitoring, and one to Design Dept. for establishing project benchmark data based on predrainage surveys. -

Main Problems: Some delay has occurred in the design of a pl an for monitoring the implementation of the project (L.A._ Sec. 3.05) and in the preparation of a plan outlining measures and procedures to be adopted to improve collection of field drainage costs (L.A. Sec. 4.03(c)).

Section 4:

-It was agreed that EPADP would expeditiously send procurement evaluation reports for above items to the Bank for its approval. In addition to these items, agreement was reached on a timetable for tendering and award of contracts under !CB procedures for: 40 pick-ups and 10 mini-buses, 12 wheel loaders and 3 forklifts and field drainage works covering 170,000 fed. The mission reviewed in field bid documents for vehicles and equipment.

Introduction

ARAB REPUBLIC OP l!X;YP'l'

DRAINAGE AND CHANNEL MAINTENANCE PROJEX:TS

Review Mission Aide Memoire

ANNEX I Page 1

1. Mr. S.A.Rehman of the World Bank visited Egypt from February 11 to 26, 1987, to review the status of above projects. The mission made field visits and held extensive discussions with concerned officials at various levels in the Ministry of Irrigation (MOI) and the Egyptian Public Authority for Drainage Projects (EPAPD). '11le mission wishes to express its appreciation for the outstanding cooperation and assistance received from these officials both in cairo and in the field offices.

2. 'Ihe following summarizes the mission's main findings, recommendations and agreements reached. 'Ihese are subject to confirmation from the world Bank.

Drainage V Project (Ln. 2562 -EGT)

3. ~ Effectiveness and Project Start-up. 'Ihe Loan Agreement became effective on February 20, 1987 almost one year after its signing on March 14, 1986. Despite this the mission was pleased to note that the EPADP has taken several start-up actions in accordance with the program agreed with the previous review mission in July 1986. 'Ihe next paragraphs give a summary of these actions which will allow to make up some ~f the time lost in the project becoming effective. 'Ihe mission stressed the importance of making all efforts to implement the project on schedule to avoid cost overruns due to unforeseen price escalation and. losses to agricultural production due to delay in accrual of project benefits.

4. Project Management. '!be Drainage Authority has already carried out the key project covenants regarding strengthening of the Planning and Follow-up Directorate (PFC) and the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) unit. In addition, training of staff members in these units and in the Design and Field offices has been underway with Dutch assistance administered by the "Ijsselmeer Polder Development Authority". '!be mission noted that since July 1986, such training and other important steps taken to improve management of drainage works include:

ANNEX I Page 2

a) Training of five senior staff members, each for a period of

two weeks in Holland;

b) Training of six junior staff members, each for a period of

two and a half months in Holland;

c) On-the-job training for staff members of EPADP and contractors

in Beni-Suef and .Minya Governorates; and

d) Provision of IBM Personal Computer AT, one to the PFD and one

to the Field Investigation and Design Directorate (FIDO) pnd training of staff members of these units in the use of these

computers.

5. '!he. 'mission emphasized the need to promptly inform the Bank of

Progress in implementing training programs, and to use the trained personnel in positions of highest priority use of their skills.

It was agreed that the computer facilities in the FIDO would be used to establish data bank for the Project based on predrainage

surveys and as built designs of the drainage systems. This would serve

as bench-mark data for the M&E unit to investigate and report about

the impact of drainage on depth to water table, soil salinity and groundwater quality, adequacy or otherwise of as built systems and on

such other aspects as may be appropriate. The FIDO has started the use of "Drain Space" Program for computerizing data and for determining

hydraulic conductivity and spacing of laterals. It was further agreed that the FIDO would aim at fully computerizing design of buried pipe

drains.

6. '!he mission was informed that the preparation of procedures for

planning, coordinating and monitoring the physical and financial

progress of the project would be made available to the Bank, for its comments, not later than June 15, 1987. This would involve a delay of

about five months which occured mainly because of locating an expatriate expert with qualifications suiting the requirements of the terms of reference cleared by the Bank. The mission reviewed the c.v. of the selected candidate-- Mr. Kurt F. Peyfuss ~ and found him well

qualified and experienced for designing the implementation monitoring plan and the reporting formats. It was agreed that Mr. Peyfuss would

visit D:1ypt during April 1987, that the Bank would be furnished with

his report not later than June 15, 1987, and that the EPADP would

promptly carry out the plan, taking into account the Bank's comments. The plan would be prepared according to agreed terms of reference and format for reporting would be a tabular presentation supported as

necessary with explanatory notes. It was also agreed that concerned

staff members of the PFD would be trained in computerized data management using Dutch assistance and/ or locally available facilities.

ANNEX I Page 3

7. Project Financing. '!he mission received assurance tha.t FY 86/87

allocation of LE 74.4 million to EPADP would be adequate to cater for

the needs of the project during the remaining four months. The mi ss i on recommended that the budget proposals for FY 87/88 should be carefully

prepared so that they fully reflect the local currency and the forei gn exchange requirements of the project's implementation program for thi s

year. '!he budget proposals should be provided to the Bank not later

than May 31 , 1 987, or to a Bank mission that may visit E):Jypt dur i ng

April/May 1987 to further review start up actions.

8. Project Area in the Delta. '!he Drainage Authori ty has made good progress with procurement aspects, compared to the program agreed with

the previous mission. '!he following summar i zes the present status .

a)

b)

c)

Field Drainage (ICB Procedures) Bids have been received for three contract packages covering 23,900 and 18,600 feddans Halk

El-Gama! basin in the west Del ta and 9 ; 000 feddans in Upper No. 1 pumping station basin in the Middle Del ta. The Author i ty

would furnish the Bank with evaluation report for each package for its review and approval. Bids for three addi tional

contract packages have also been invi ted and are due to be

received for 20,000 feddans i n El Mandoura basin i n the Middle

Delta on March 29,1987, 25,200 feddans in the same basin on March 31 , 1987 and 15,900 feddans in Beni Ebaid basin in the

East Del ta on April 5, 1987. '!he total of these areas amounts

to 112,600 feddans.

The FIDO has completed designs for 130,000 feddans proposed to

be tendered and awarded in FY 87/88. Bids for suitable contract packages would be invi ted between May-August, 1987.

It was agreed that the EPADP would inform the Bank of details of each contract package after preparing bid documents, and

that the bid documents would include "Instructions to Bidders" conforming to the Bank's sample Bidding Documents with amend

men ts and deletions as necessary.

PVC Powder (ICB Procedures) Bids for the procurement of 3,200

mt of PVC powder and 30 mt of purge compound were received on February 16, 1987. EValuation report for these bids would be

provided to the Bank for revi ew and approval after due

serutiny by the evaluation committee.

Dredging F.quipment (ICB Procedures) Bids for the procurement of 14 hydraulic excavators of var i ous types have been invi ted

by the Egyptian Dredgi ng Company on behalf of EPADP and are due to be recei ved on March 14, 1987.

d)

e)

ANNEX I Page 4

Mobile Flushing Units (ICB Procedures) Bids for the purchase

of 30 units are due to be received on March 16, 1987.

Open Drains (LcB · Procedures). The mission recei ved assurance

that the Drainage Authority would closely follow the program

agreed in July 1986, and that it would keep the Bank infor med

of the various steps and the progress- achieved with respect to

remodelling of open drains in the pr oject area totalli ng

148,000 feddans. The mission repeated the agreed stipulati on

that all contracts should be awarded on the basis of LCB pro

cedures acceptable to the Bank.

9 . The mission reviewed specifications for two additional procurement

packages; the first involving 40 pick-ups single-cabin and 10 mini

buses and the second 3 wheel loaders 1.5 cu.m. capacity, 9 wheel

loaders O.Scu.m. capac i ty and 3 fork lifts. The mission's comments on

these speci f i cations and on the bid documents would be confirmed and, i f

needed, supplemented soon after the mission ' s return to Washington. It

was recommneded that all corrections and amendments proposed by the

mission should be incorporated in the bid documents. Of these the most

significant amendments concern clauses 26.1 on page 19, 27 on page 23,

17 on page 39, 11(c) . on page 51 with respect to currency.

The mission recommended that these clauses should conform to

corresponding stipulations in the Bank "Sample Bidding Documents" or to

those agreed for the dredging equipment (para .8 (c) above).

10.The mission drew attention to the requirements for promptly fur

nishing the Bank for each procurement package with:

a) by telex text of the II Invi tation for Bids 11; and

b) by special deli very service one set of as issued bid documents.

It was agreed that this would be strictly followed.

11.Project Area in Upper Egypt. All components in Upper F.gypt are to

be financed by the African Development Fund and the African Development

Bank. It was agreed that the Drainage Authori ty would provide a sche

dule for i mplementing such components soon after its clearance by these

confinanciers.

co,4 Recovery l

12 . The mi ssi on expressed its concern about the lack of compliance i n

furnish i ng the Bank with a plan by December 31 , 1986. It noted that

while substantial data has already been collected, the plan could not

be f i nal i zed for want of detai led program for cadasteral surveys be i ng

prepared by the MOI 's Survey Authori ty. The miss i on emphasized the

ANNEX I Page 5

importance of submitting this plan to the Bank. EPADP undertook to

arrange the same not later than May 15, 1987. Compared to a total

collection of about LE 1.2 million in FY 85/86, the collections made

between July 1986 to January 1987 have improved to about LE 1 • 6 million

which is still a fraction of the amount due.

Nile Delta Drainage II Project (Ln. 1439-40/Cr. 719-EGT) and

Opper Egypt Drainage .!f Project (Ln. 1285/Cr.637-EGT)

13.Project Completion Reports (PCRs). '!be mission appreciated the

efforts made by EPADP in preparing initial PCRs and in cooperating with

the FAO/CP mission for their review, recasting and post evaluation.

After extensive discussions with EPADP chairman and concerned staff

members in PFD, it was agreed that the recasted PCRs reflected fhysical,

financial and economic data furnished by EPADP. Such data were checked

and generally found to be correct. It was further agreed that these

PCRs comprised sound basis for review and performance audit by the Bank.

1 4 .Progress with works '!be mission reviewed the progress with EPADP

and urged its chairman :

a) to make some drastic changes in seven ongoing contracts in

Opper F.gypt so that the rate of installing field drainage can

be increased ·from 50,000 to 70,000 feddans/year and thus

complete this 'NC>rk in about two years in the remaining area

totalling about 140,000 feddans, and

b) expedite completion of Abu Homos pumping station in the Del ta

so that it can serve some 40,000 feddans tile-drained in its

service area.

Channel Maintenance Project

15.The mission was informed that following no objection given by all

concerned ministries, the project documents have been submitted for

consideration and clearance by the High Policy Cammi ttee and the

Cabinet. It was, however, indicated that the Loan Agreement will most

likely be signed during March 1987. As regards completion of

effectiveness actions by the MOI's Irrigation Sector, the mission was

informed by the concerned First Undersecretary as follows:

Of the 19 existing stores for chemicals, 8 have been brought to

MOI 's prescribed standards and 7 are expectd to be improved

before other procedures for effectiveness are completed. The

remaining four stores would be rebuilt under the project.

·j

ANNEX I Page 6

A Ministerial Decree has already been prepared to establish the Channel Maintenance Board, the Technical Committee and the Office of the Undersecretary Maintenance and includes functions/respnsibilities in each case. This Decree will be issued at an appropriate time after signing of the Loan

Agreement.

In each of the 19 field Diretorates, officials have been designated for project implementation and monitoring.

Dutch - Egyptian Panel Meeting

16.The mission attended the concluding session of the Panel's 20th meeting on February 12 at Ismailya. It noted the work carried out under the Panel's guidance through various Dutch-assisted projects,

including:

a) Pilot Areas and Drainage Technology; b) Fayoum Basin Water and Salt Balance;

c) Executive Management for training of EPADP ~nd contractors personnel; and

d) Delta Water and Salt Balance.

The funding authorized by the Dutch Government would allow the

Panel and activities under these projects to continue until December 1988. It was agreed that the EPADP would furnish the

Bank with recommendations emanating from the Panel's 20th meeting.

Introduction

Prior to the construction of the high dam at Aswan and con

tinuing to this day Egypt has been experiencing serious and

growing soil salinity and sodium problems within the D~lta and

Nile Valley. T:1es: pr:,blerns were brought about by intensive

i:::-rigation and high-s·,·1elling, heavy clay soils. These factors

and t~e lack of adequat~ drainage facilities to provide for cir

culation of water and accumulated salt through the soil profile

have posed a serious threat to the continued use of these lands

for irrigated agriculture. Since the early 1970's Egypt has

made a considerable effort to correct these problems by the

installation of extensive plastic pipe drainage systems designed

to lower and manage the shallow water tables and to reduce and

maintain soil salinity at acceptable levels to maintain crop

productivity. By the end of 1985, the Government of Egypt had

installed such drainage on about 2.5 million feddans. It is

expected upwards to 2.0 to 2.5 million feddans more will require

such facilities before the problem is under control.

At the present time over LE 70 million a year is being

expended on drainage control facilities. Most of the funding for

this effort is provided from domestic sources and the remainder

from external funding, mainly from the World Bank.

It has been decided by the Egyptian Government and the World

Bank that a quantitive assessment of the drainage system

efiectiveness is needed to ensure that the best possible use

will be made of funds to be spent on future drainage works.

Therefore, an Evaluation and Analysis program (E&A) is being

planned for implementation in order to evaluate the

effectiveness of existing drainage systems as well as those

planned for installation in the future.

The E & A program to be established will concentrate its

principal efiort on determining the changes that will occur to

-5-

soil salinity, groundwater quality, and depths to ground water

due to the installation of drainage systems. Data on new

projects (DPS) will be gathered prior to the installation of

drains to establish base line conditions. Also monitoring of

araas with drai~age works in place will be initiated to assure

that conditions as far as soil salinity is concer~ed improve or

re~ain at acceptable levels to maintain full crop productivity

levels.

It is postulated that any decrease of soil salinity,

lowering of the water table beneath the crop root zone, and

improvement of groundwater quality will in general improve irri

gated agricultural conditions and as a minimum maintain crop

production levels at current conditions, everything eise being

equal. Without proper salt balance conditions which are main

tained by properly designed drainage systems, soils will con

tinue to deteriorate and _resultant crop yields will steadily

decline to a point where such lands will be abandoned.

University of California research work has produced crop

tolerance tables (copy attached) from which crop yield reduc

tions can be estimated for a variety of crops at differing

electrical conductivities of the saturated soil extract. This

table shows the expected decline of yield of a variety of crops

as the soil salinity rises within the soil column. It should

be recognized that these tables are only general guidelines and

assume that 15 to 20 percent of the applied irrigation water is

used for leaching purposes. It has also been assumed that no

special sodic conditions exist in the soil column to preclude

the crops from obtaining sufficient water for full growth.

-6-

Drainaoe Evaluation ar.d Analv sis Proo~am

The following is the recommended E&A program to be

i m9lernented in Drainage Project S (DPS) as well as a program for

all irrigated lands in cgypt to be monitored under a S-year

cycle of repetition. Drainage Project 5 has been broken

dcwn into two areas and an E&A data collection program developed

for each. Also, a proposed data collection program for the

lands to be covered under the S-year cycle of repetition is

included. Each phase of the program is discussed.

A, Representative Area Prooram-DPS.

The total area of DPS is approximately 1,300,000 feddans. It

is recoIT~ended that carefully selected areas, representing 10

percent of the total area be chosen for a more detailed data

collection and evaluation program than for the remaining areas

of DPS. The selected areas ( totalling 130,000 feddans) should be

representative of the rest of DPS and should take into account

the soil and general salinity, water table conditions, agri

cultural crops, topography and land slope, agricultural prac

tices and management, and general irrigation methods.

Data collection activities from a cost and management stand

point can be more intensive and meaningful on smaller represen

tative areas as suggested here, to assure that a statistically

accurate field representation is being conducted in the

assessment of drainage benefits for the much larger total area.

It is recommended that the following data collection program be

implemented within the selected representative areas.

Data for desian ourposes.

1) Holes spaced at about 500 meter intervals should be bored

into the water table a distance of about 1 to 2 meters and a .

pump-out test conducted to determine soil permeabilities. Hole

selection points should be based upon the site's location being

visually representative of the surrounding area. These same

-7-

holes can be used for the E&A program the first year. Each hole

should be logged for soil texture changes and soil structure and

other factors such as soil moisture, stickiness, color, and any

other unusual conditions.

2) Additional holes spacad at about 2 km intervals should be

drilled by a mac:1ine wit':1 a bucket auger attachnent to a total

de?th of 6 to 8 meters. The hole should be logged throughout

its entire length for the same factors mentioned above.

3) Collect soil samples from each hole at points where tex

ture changes occur and determine soil properties by mechanical

analysis methods in the laboratory.

Data for E&A purposes.

1) In order to provide adequate assurances that soil sali

nity as a basis of assessing agricultural benefits is being pro

perly represented, three soil borings should be made at each

observation point. Each hole should be augered to a total depth

of 100 cm and soil samples should be composited from each boring

for the Oto 25 cm, 25 to 50 cm, and 50 to 100 cm zones and com

bined into one sample for eac:1 of t:1e three zones. Holes should

be clustered in a triangle shape at about l to 1.5 meters apart.

Individual observation points should be spaced at about 500

meter grid points at the same locations as used for design

purposes. Each point should be visually representative of the

surrounding area. Deepen one of the three holes into the water

table. A detailed description of the observation points loca

tion should be recorded in order to allow others to return to

the same grid points each year. Continue the sampling program

at the same grid points each year for a period of 3 to 5 years

after the drains have been installed.

2) Collect a water quality sample from the water table from

each hole drilled into the water table at eaGh observation

site and determine the pH and EC in the field. Identify and

record data from each location.

3) Collect a water quality sample from the water table from

-8-

those holes spaced at 2 km for laboratory chemical analysis.

Obtain samples from these same holes each year, identify and

record the data from each location.

B. Remainino Areas Proaram-DPS

For all of the remaining area of DPS conduct the following

level of data collection.

Data for design purposes

1) Conduct the same level of data collection of soil per

meability, deep holes for barrier determinations, and soil

samples for mechanical analysis as is recommended for the repre

sentative areas of DPS.

2) Conduct the same level of data collection of deep (6 to 8m)

holes as recommended for the representative areas of DPS.

3) Conduct the same level of soil samples as recommended for the

representative areas of DPS.

Data for E&A our~oses.

1) At observation points spaced at about 1 km auger 3

soil borings to a· depth of 100 cm. Obtain a composite

soil sample from each soil boring for the Oto SO cm and the SO

to 100 cm zones and combine into one sample for each of the two

zones. Deepen one of the holes to encounter the water table.

Continue the data collection program at the same observation

point each year for a period of 3 to S years after the drains

have been installed.

2) Collect a water sample from the water table at observation

point and test in the field the pH and EC. Identify and

record the data.

3) At observation points spaced at 2 km collect a water

sample from the water table for total chemical analysis by

the laboratory. Identify and record data for the same obser

vation point each year.

4) Measure and record the depth to water from ground surface

at each observation point.

-9-

c. Five-Year Cvcle of Reoetition Program - All Lands

For all Valley and Delta lands (Old Lands) outside DPS, a

five-year cycle of investigations should be carried out, as

called for in the DPS report. The objectives of the five-year

cycle are 1) to determine the need for drainage improvements at

present, or at a predicted future time, in both drained and

undrained lands; and 2) to determine the effectiveness of

installed drainage facilities in controlling water table,

reducing soil salinity, and increasing crop yields.

Field investigations for the five-year cycle will be similar

to the E&A program for the remaining lands of DPS, except that

data collection points will be spaced at two kilometer inter

vals. Investigations at each point will include:

1) Three soil borings to 100 cm depth, composited for Oto 50

cm and 50 to 100 cm depths for complete chemical analysis in the

laboratory.

2) One hole to be extended to 2.0 m depth. Measure depth to

water table if within 2.0 m and if depth to water table is less

than 2.0 m, make a pump out test to determine permeability.

3) Water sample to be collected from the water table for

total chemical analysis by the laboratory.

4) Samples to be collected from different soil types for

mechanical analysis should be done only for the first obser

vation and not repeated in the five-year cycle.

D. Soil and Water Analvsis Program - All lands

The following table shows the type and extent of analysis to

be performed on the soil samples and waters from the ground

water system.

It is recommended that the analyses as shown on the pre

ceding table be conducted on all E&A soil samples to better

define the diagnostic and classification standards that should

be used in solving saline and sodic soil problems of Egyptian

soils. The E&A program provides an exellent · opportunity to

develop a reliable set of base data for Egyptian soil conditions

that, in the future, will allow soil scientists and chemists to

recommend proper corrective measures that will be needed to

-11-

overcome such problems of soil sodicity, permeability limita

tions, and infiltration of applied water.

It should be understood that to assess the impacts of

installing drainage systems upon the soil salinity and then

dir:ctly relating t~at to crop production will not in the case

of Egyptian soil conditions be the total answer. Improved crop

production may be noted initially as some leaching of accumu

lated salts takes place after the drains have been installed,

however, as time proceeds and irrigation with Nile River water

continues, sodium may over the long run continue to build up in

the soil. Such impacts will, in effect, reduce the soil per

meability and the infiltration of irrigation water needed to

meet the crop consumptive use needs and thereby without proper

soil amendments start to reduce crop yields. It is known, for

instance, that the Nile River water has an excess of bicarbonate

ions that over the long term, even with tile drains operating

properly, constitute a hazard with respect to the build up of

sodium in the soil. Whenever the bicarbonate ion exceeds the

sum of calciun and magnesium, and as the water in the soil is

concentrated due to plant consumptive use, magnesiun and calcium

are precipitated in the soil as lime or gypsum. This in turn

increases the relative ratio of sodium which is adsorbed on the

soil particles and reduces soil permeability. Evidence of

numerous lime and/or gypsum nodules were noted during drilling

of auger holes indicating such precipitation has and is

occuring.

All of the suggested chemical parameters as shown on table 1

are needed to properly assess what is happening with respect to

soil and water chemistry so that proper soil, water and reclama

tion management decisions can be made in the future.

-12-

E. Extent of Desian and Evaluation Proarams

The tables that follow summarize the total numbers of soil

borings, tests, and analyses to be conducted for the various

portions of the program. Table 2 shows the required program as

suggested for the Representative Areas of DPS. The table assu

m2s a 9-year construction program for the completion of DPS.

Table 3 shews the requirements for all the remaining lands of

DPS exclusive of the representative areas. Table 4 is a total

of tables 2 and 3 and includes the total testing and analysis

requirements for all of DPS. Table 5 shows the entire program

for all irrigated lands in Egypt. This table includes the

5-year cycle of repetition program as was recorr~ended in Project

Planning Report of DPS. The table as shown phases DPS into the

S-year cycle of repetition in 1995 at which time the initial

evaluation program of DPS will be essentially complete.

F. E&A Reoortina Reauirements

It is recommended that the information generated from the

DPS and the 5-year cycle of repetition programs be finalized in

a summary type report each year. The report should contain

maps, tables, figures, and report narative that explain the

current condition of the area being discussed. The reports

should indicate on maps those areas presently drained, those

areas still needing drainage, and those areas not needing

drainage facilities. The E&A data collected from year to year

should be examined from a statistical standpoint and related to

such area breakdowns. Such information presented in summary

detail on charts, figures, and maps provides the necessary infor

mation as to the relative success or failure of the drainage

program. It also provides useful information to administrators

responsible for the development of broad program goals.

It is st~ongly recommended that the data as being suggested to

be collected on the chemistry of the soils be carefully ana

lyzed for relationships that exist and that will better define

the soils of Egypt. For instanc~, an analysis of data as to

the relationships t':1at exist beb;een the Exchangeable Sodium

Percentage (ZSP) and the Sodium Adsorption Ratio of the saturated extract (SA.Re) should be made for t'.vo groupings of

soils. The analysis should separate and group those soils with

Cation Exchange Capacities (CEC) that do not exceed 25 to 30

ME/100 grns of soil into one group and group those soils with

CEC of 25 to 30 ME/100 gms of soil and above into a second

group. A best fit curvilinear analyses of these data will pro

vide a curve for both conditions that will define such rela

tionships for Egyptian soils. Such information can then be

used to identify those clay soils which have the greatest

sensitivity to sodium and that present the greatest problems

associated with irrigating such soils with low-salt waters such

as· from the Nile River. It will identify those old lands that

need the most attention from a reclamation standpoint.

Reclamation of high CEC soils that have high sodic con

ditions will take years to accomplish even if subsurface drains

are installed and such lands continue to be irrigated with the

high quality Nile River water. If for instance, special recla

mation work is undertaken whereby such areas are flooded with

water of high salt content particularly with high levels of

CaCl2, the time of reclamation could be reduced to one or two

years. Even application of sea water and/or drainage waters of

poor quality supplemented with proper soil amendments would

speed up the reclamation process. Such reclamation would also

enhance the drainage system effectiveness and provide much

greater economic benefits early on in the process. After such

reclamation processes are complete, return to irrigating with

the high quality Nile River water, with proper soil amendments

added will no longer pose the same problems.

As has been pointed out, a summary report should be prepared

for each area being studied each year. A suggested outline for

The E&A data collection program should be critically

reviewed each year as to its effectiveness in meeting the goals

of the program. If adjustments to the program appear to be

needed it should be adjusted accordingly. Adjustments in the

number of holes and chemical analysis to be conducted should be

made if it appears that any statistical studies do not produce

results within acceptable statistical parameters. A discussion

of such a review should be included in the annual progress

report.

Drainage Evaluation Possibilities

The basic method to be used in the assessment of irrigated

far~ing areas reponse to the installation of sub-surface

drains is to compare areas before and after drains have been

installed. The following are some comments' and cautions

regarding the use of this method in the analysis of identifying

the benefits attributable to the installation of drainage

systems.

B "Before and After" Case

This method essentially breaks down into two possibilities

which are outlined below.

1. "Before and After'.', Where the "Before" condition is repre

sented by areas not requi::::-ing drains and the "After" condition

is represented by areas where drains were installed but the

facilities were not needed. Also, within this case the possi

bility exists where economic comparisons would be attempted

where the "Before" condition is represented by areas that

required artificial drains but the "After" condition is repre

sented by a situation where the installed drains are not per

forming as designed.

2. Where the "Before" conditions represent areas where drainage

was needed and crops where being adversly impacted due to high

soil salinity and high water tables, and the "After" conditions

represents areas where drainage facilities were provided to

lands needing such system and where the sys-terns are performing

as designed.

Those conditions as outlined in case 1 above should be

avoided and only case 2 conditions should be considered in any

-17-

comparative analyses where the economic benefits attributable

to the installation of drainage systems are being assessed.

The "Before and After" case is basically the method that

will be used to asses drainage benefits by use of data deve

loped from the E & A program outlined in this report. Any

decrease of soil salini~y, stabilization of the water table,

and improvement of groundwater quality, is viewed as a benefit

to irrigated agriculture brought about by the installation of

artificial drainage systems.

If economic studies are under taken to assess the benefits

of drainage under the "Before and After" case, consideration in

selection of areas to be studied will need careful attention.

Only those areas that meet the criteria and conditions as pre

viously outlined for case 2 should be used. Such studies if

directly correlated with improved soil salinity and reductions

in sodium levels, lowered water tables, and improved ground

water quality will provide the necessary information to esti

mate the economic benefits attributable to the entire area

being drained.

If it should be decided that detailed and controlled

studies will be undertaken to determine the direct economic

benefits of drainage, it appears, such studies should be under

taken and conducted by MOA or the DRI of the MOI. However,

these organizations should carefully coordinate their effort

with the Evaluation And Analysis Department of the Drainage

Authority particularly in the study area selection process.

The E&A organization within the Drainage Authority will in

about two to three years after the program is initiated have con

siderable useful data that will materially assist in the proper

selection of areas to be compared for such economic studies.

Oroanization Structure and Reauirements for Oraanization

The existing organization required of the Evaluation

and Analysis Department is shown on Figure 1, However, there are •

expected future office and field personnel needs to bring the

organization up to a level required to properly manage the E&A

program as outlined in this report. Besides the additional

field groups needed and, discussed in the report under the topic

heading, "Need for field monitoring and Data Collection Crews",

additonal office organization and personnel are required par

ticularly in the function of Computer Services. Figure 1 also shows

the additional staff requirements and disciplines needed.

Additional details and discussion regarding the needs for com-

puter services is covered in a section entitled "Computer

Needs" in this report.

Field Data Collection Crews and Needs

The number of field crews required, of course, is dependent

upon the scope of the program implemented. Two alternatives

are given, however, other alternatives can be assumed. For

instance, if DPS is implemented this year and the 5-year cycle

of repetition program delayed one or two years, the immediate

manpower needs, of course, shift accordingly.

A, Case 1-DPS

Case 1 assumes that only the DPS program is

implemented.

1) 1st through 4thyears - 3 field crews con

sisting of the following:

2 crews - 4 men each - to collect & & A

field data

1 crew - 3 men - to machine drill deep

holes

2) 5ththrough 1othyear - 4 field crews consisting

of the following:

3 crews - 4 men each- to collect E & A

field data

1 crew - 3 men - to machine drill deep holes

-19-

B. Case 2 - All Lands

Case 2 assumes the entire program including DPS

and 5 - year cycle of repetition program is

implemented the 1styear.

1) 1stthrough 3rdyear - 4 field crews consisting

of the following:

3 crews - 4 men each - to collect E&A

field data


holes

2) 4ththrough 1othyear - 5 field crews consisting

of the following:

4 crews - 4 men each - to collect E & A

field data


ho°les

c. Personnel Discioline Reauirements

Personnel of the following disciplines should be

selected for permanent assignment to the field data

collection crews. These crews will collect soil

samples for laboratory chemical and mechanical ana

lysis and also conduct the soil permeability test

for design purposes

1- Agricultural Engineer

1- Agronomist or soil scientist - Supervisor

2- Laborers

Personnel of the following disciplines should be

selected for permanent assignment to the field crew

responsible for the drilling of the deep (6 to 8 meters)

auger holes for design purposes

l Agronomist or soil scientist

l Drill Machine Operator

l Driver-laborer

The responsibility of each crew member is given

.,

previously bored for sample collection purposes.

Such holes should be deepened to a depth of 2

meters into the water table about l to 2 meters.

Each hole should be logged as to soil texture and

str~cture. Samples for mechanical analyses

should be obtained from only those zones where

soil tex~ure has changed. Also see the suggested

identification format form to be used for mecha

nical analysis samples.

3) Drill Machine Ooerator

supervisor. They should also keep the equipment

clean and do other general work as directed by

the supervisor.

D. Crew Eauipment Needs

Each crew with the exception of the crew respon

sible for construction of the deep holes will need

to be provided the following equipment. Also, only

those crews working in the sandy and unstable soil

areas will need to be supplied with 9 cm diameter

perforated PVC pipe.

1. Measurin~ tapes with float apparatus - 2 for

each crew

2. Stopwatch

3. 2 Augers l-8cm in diameter and 1-lOcm in

diameter

4. Inside measuring calipers

5. Hole scratcher tool

-22-

6. Hand held type of mirror - for hole

examination by sunlight reflection

7. Perforated 9 cm diameter PVC pipe - total 3 m

in length

8. Vacuun punp and necessary hoses

9. Clipboard

10. Forms for recording location and data

11. 1x1Y2 meter canvas type of cloth

12. Apparatus to obtain water samples from holes

13. EC-pH meter and carry case

14. Containers of distilled water - to be used to

clean EC meter.

15. Plastic containers to hold soil samples

16. Water quality sample containers

17. Each crew will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle

to accomodate up to 5 passengers with an inclosed

cargo space to store equipment.

The deep hole crew will require a standard drilling machine

equipped to drill holes to a total depth of 8 meters. This

machine should be equipped with a continuous kelly bar that can

extend the full 8 meters and is adaptable to attaching a 12 to

14 cm diameter bucket auger used in the drilling of the hole.

Special bucket augers may need to be designed and fabricated

to accomodate sandy material. Such equipment adapted to the

machine will allow construction of the hole while visually

inspecting the soil material in short increments throughout the

entire hole depth. Also soil samples can be taken at specific

points where soil texture changes are noted.

E. Hole Construction and Related Factors

The holes to be used for the pump-out test for soil per

meability determination should be initially bored with an 8 cm

diameter auger and then carefully and slowly augered and

enlarged with a 10 cm diameter auger. The agronomist or soil

scientist supervisor should then carefully and gently scratch

-23-

the sides of the hole below the water table level (with hole

scratcher tool) if such a hole is primarily of clay or heavy

soil material, The hole should be pumped and flushed with the

vacuum pump several times. If the hole is located in sandy

material, a PVC per=orated pipe, 9 cm in diameter should be

installed to prevent the hole from collapsing. After the punp

out test is completed in such sandy material, the PVC pipe

should be removed, disassembled, washed clean making sure the

perforations remain open, and then stored in the vehicle for

the next time used. Also, after each pump-out test is

completed the vacuum pump should be flushed with clean water to

maintain the pump in good working order.

Those deep holes drilled to 6 to 8 meter depths should be logged

their entire depth as to texture and soil structure. Soil

samples for mechanical analysis purposes should only be

collected from the hole where soil texture changes occur.

These holes will be used to determine if subsurface soil

barriers exist within the upper 6 to 8 meters of soil profile. This

program should continue at 2 km spacings unless barrier

materials are encountered. If barrier materials are encoun-

tered between the depths of 2 to 8 meters then the drilling

program should be intensified to at least l hole for every l km

in order to identify the areal extent and depth to the

barrier material. By definition, a barrier is described as

having a relative average permeability of about one-fifth of

the soil material lying above such a barrier. Judgement in the

selection of the barrier and its depth will be needed. Often,

for instance, when drilling in lighter soils, a heavy clay or

silty clay is encountered, it can be safely assumed the

material constitutes a barrier to the vertical movement of

water. Also, if there is little change in the texture or soil

structure throughout the soil profile the ho_le can be con

sidered as not having intercepted a barrier within the 8 meter

depth, Those doing this work will need to excersise con

siderable judgement in the selection process of determining the

barrier and its depth.

-24-

If barriers are encountered and the areal extent can be

reasonably defined, they will need to be taken into account in

the spacing determination of lateral lines for such areas.

such barriers cause a change in subsurface groundwater flow

pat~erns which in turn affect the spacing design.

F. Sarnole Collection Routine

There will be samples collected from each hole at each

observation site to be analyzed for two distinct and separate

purposes. One set of samples collected from the three (3)

depths of 0-25 cm, 25-50 cm, and 50 to 100 cm are to be ana

lyzed for soil chemistry only. No mechanical analyses of the

samples are required. The second set of samples from the same

site will be collected from the hole that is deepened to 2

meters for purposes of conducting a punp-out test for soil per

meability. This hole should be logged as to soil texture by

the agronomist or soil scientist and a sample collected from

those soil zones where a texture change is noted during the

drilling of the hole. These samples will be used to determine

the soil texture by laboratory mechanical analysis. No soil

chemical analysis should be perforned on these samples. Those

holes drilled to 8 meters at the 2 km spacings for design pur

poses should be sampled from the 2 meter to the 6 meter depth

only at those zones where the soil texture changes. These

samples will also be used to determine the soil texture by

laboratory mechanical analysis and no soil chemical analysis is

required.

It should also be understood that the sample collected for

mechanical analysis and also the soils log need only be done

the first year of this E&A program Although a deep hole (2

meters) will be drilled each year at the same observation point

for a soil permeability test and a depth to water measurement,

no samples need to be collected for mechanical analysis each

year from the same site. Soil samples for chemical analysis

will continue to be collected from the upper one meter of soil

each year of the program.

Comouter Needs and Suggested Form Formats

A review of the expected data gathering requirements of the

proposed evaluation program outlined in this report indicates a

strong and urgent need for the establishment of a computer data

base. Present procedures and methods used by t~e Drainage

Authority of MOI in general are very good. However, some effort

will need to be spent on modifying their reporting of soil che

mical and mechanical analysis, water quality, permeability,

and watertable measurement data to facilitate such information

being processed into a computer data base. For instance, each

record of soil chemistry and mechanical analysis, and field pH,

EC, water table depths, and soil permeability for each obser

vation point for the entire program will need to be cross

referenced for subsequent retrieval from the computer by hole

number, project area, governorate, center, village, and catch

~ent basin. Different or other breakdowns may be desired. If

proper form formats are designed, entry of data into the com

puter is greatly simplified and much greater accuracy is

assured. See suggested form formats at end of this report sec

tion. It should be recognized the formats as shown are only

suggestions. Computer analysts may have other and/or improved

suggestions.

Large amounts of data will be generated by the E&A program.

It is estimated, for instance, that the soil chemistry and

mechanical analysis will generate a total of about 90 bits of

information for each analysis. There is a total of about 20,000

samples per year to process which in total will generate about

1,800,000 bits total each year. Other field data such as soil

permeability, depth to water, pH, and EC determinations will

generate an additional 200,000 bits of data each year.

considerable effort should be directed to the establishment

of a computer data base at the onset of this program. Field

data and laboratory results should be reported on proper com

puter format forms for easy transfer and entry into the com-

-26-

. . .

p~ter. It is also sugges~ed agricultural statistical data be

grouped for retrieval from the computer by the same area distri

bution breakdown as selected for the E&A program. Thus, readily

available comparisons of agricultural production and information

generated by the E&A program can be made. Other needed sta

tistical studies can also be accomplished. For instance, the

effect of exchangeable sodium on the productivity of the soils

of Egypt needs to be determined. With the data generated from

the E&A program and the proper statistical computer program

package, such an effect can be easily determined as well as many

other relationships can be examined to better define and

understand the factors that impact upon the soils and crop

productivity.

The development of a computer data base and related programs

for the manipulation of both soil and agricultural statistical

information will need to be carefully designed and may require a

team effort of MOI and MOA personnel as well as computer spe

cialists to facilitate the effort in a realistic and timely

manner. The teams responsibility should be to review the entire

scope of the problem and develop and recommend the necessary

computer hardware and software needs. Computer specialists

should also assist in the development of proper formats for data

reporting forms. Other computer meeds may be identified during

the course of their review that could also be incorporated into

the system and broaden the computer usage. It is strongly

recommended that an effort begin immediately in the development

of a plan to identify the Departments computer needs. This need is

of first priority.

During the interim period while the study by the committee

is underway, the computer located at the MOI office at

Shoubra-Mezalat can be utilized since it has considerable unused

capacity and is easily expanded at minimum cost if needed.

Computer terminals, printers, and modurns can be purchased and

located at the MOI in Giza and linked to the computer in

Shoubra-Mezalat by use of a modem and dedicated phone line.

-27-

Personnel will need to be trained in the use of the computer,

printer, and remote terminal stations. Data base and statisti

cal computer program packages will need to be purchased which

will then allow t':1e irr.rnediate entry and manipulation of data

w i t:-1out t h e necessity to wait for the computer comr.ii ttee to make

their final recommendations. The terminal and printer as would

be purchased under this recommendation can be converted for use

to the new computer when it becomes available. All data stored

in the computer at Shoubra-Mezalat can be easily transfered to

the new computer at Giza should the committee find the need for

such a computer. Also, if the computer committee finds that

linkage of MOI and MOA computer needs are compatible, such

linkage may be accomplished by modems and dedicated phone lines

between the two agencies.

If it is found to be infeasable to link up the computer

located at Shoubra-Mezalat to the Giza Office as suggested above

perhaps the use of the Water Master Plan computer located on the

4thfloor of the MOI Giza Office could be utilized during the

interim period. This alternative, assuming the Water Master

Plan computer has sufficient unused capacity may be the more

desirable short term approach to the problem because it avoids the

use of long range dedicated phone lines.

The following are examples of possible form formats that

could be used by both the field and office personnel in

recording and reporting their data. The suggested formats

include field reporting forms for the identification of soil

samples for chemistry and mechanical analysis, as well as the

form to report pH, E.C., water quality, depth to water, and soil

permeability. Also, office reporting forms for the chemistry

determinations of soil and water quality and the form for soil

mechanical analysis are included. All of the field reporting

forms can be made up in the office and duplicated to provide the

necessary supply for field personnel.

Two additional forms and examples are provided that show a

soils log and an example of a form and calculations made to

Salinity of soil ( ECe in mmhos/cm)

The crop tolerance tables (Table 5) were prepared using this formula when values

were available. A fe"'· of the crops listed came from the other sources list ed. The c.:m

version from soil salinity (ECe) to comparable water salinity (ECw) assumes a leachir,g

fraction in tht! ranse of 15-20~~- Other important assumptions in the tolerance tables arc

thi;.t yields a.re.closely related to the aver.:1.se salinity of the root zone and the water uptake . is normally much higher from the .upper root zone as assumed with the L0-30-20-10:~

relationship in the GUIDELINES.

These assumptions I whi ch are illustrated i;i. resul t s from lys1meter trials, indi cate

that al!dlfa, and presumably other crops, are more sens1t1ve to rele.tlvely small q1..ality

chanses (1 mmho/cm) in applied .water and less se.isiti.:e to rela~1vely large changes (10

to 20 n:.mhos / cm) i:l salinity of dr1anase water (Bernstein and Francois, 1973). The triJ ls

also indicate that increasing the leaching fraction to supply more leacinng and dramase

could readily compensate for and restore the yield losses due to excessive accumulati on of

salts in the lower root zone, b~t could not enti rely correct the lowe_red pro due ti v1ty

resulting from the poor quality of ·.vater applied.

Soils and Water Quality Laboratory

A Soil and Water Chemistry laboratory presently exists and

is located at the MOI office at Giza. This facility is under

the control of the Drainage Research Institute of the MOI. It

was discovered during the review of this facility that it would

be relocated to another site some considerable distance away

from the Giza office. It is most likely this facility will not

be readily available for use by the E&A Department of Drainage

Authority. Therefore, a new facility with equal . capability will

need to be established at the Giza Office for purposes of

meeting the work load of the E&A Department as anticipated in

this report. It is therefore recommended that a soil laboratory

expert with knowledge of soil and water instrumentation be

brought into the country to assist in the establishment of a new

fully operational facility and to provide the necessary training

of personnel to conduct the various soil and water quality ana

lysis as recommended in this .report. The training of personnel

to manage and operate the new facility will need to stress the

importance of accuracy in both testing and recording methods.

The facility will have a large work load and the tendencies for

errors to develop will be a constant problem. Such possible

sources of error may develop are:

1. Errors may develop in the area of sample control which

requires the maintenance of accurate sample identification.

A periodic review of the path of sample flow from the field

to transfer to the drying ovens to the grinding room and to

and through the laboratory would be helpful.

2. Calculation errors and reporting of the data are also prime

possibilities of where errors could develop. Failure to

accurately record and positively identify quantities measured in

the laboratory and to specify the units in which such quan

tities are expressed, could become a problem also.

Training Program Reouirements

It is recommended that a training program be implemented

that includes both University class wor~-< and hands-on field

t:cai:iing wi-:.:1 the U.S. Buraau of Reclamation. The Ministry of

Irrigation should provide to the sponsoring agency such as

USAID, infor~ation as to the specific areas of training desired.

The information provided should also include a general descrip

tion of the type and extent of drainage, soil salinity of the water

table, and related agricultural problems and conditions within

the Delta and Nile Valley of Egypt. Information as to what has

been accomplished to date, the present and future drainage

programs including their present field investigative methods

explained in some detail would be very beneficial to the spon

soring agency. It is also suggested those personnel selected

for trainin9 should take with them examples of their drainage

design work, type of analysis made, drain layouts, and

examples of records being maintained on depths to water table,

soil salinity or soil sodic conditions, water quality of the

ground. water, and agricultural statistics. All of the above

information along with biographical data of each candidate to

receive training should be provided to the sponsoring agency

well in advance of the desired training period. This will pro

vide those selected to conduct the training with sufficient time

to design a training program most beneficial for Egyptian needs.

It is also suggested that an American with experience in Egypt

be selected by the sponsoring agency to act as a facilitator in

the training process and to assist in the overall design of the

program. Training recommendations are listed below:

A. Number and discipline of personnel to be trained

1. 4 Civil Engineers

2. 2 Agricultural Engineers

-31-

B. Time and extent of training 1. To be conducted during the months of June through Sept.

2. Extent of training should be limited for 2.5 to 3.0

months. The University training to be conducted for a 6

to 8 week period and the training with the U.S Bureau of

Reclamation for a period of 3 to 4 weeks.

C. Possible locations of training

1. University of California at Davis or Colorado State

University at Fort Collins and the University of Cairo

2. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at the following locations:

a. E&R Center, Denver, Colorado

b. Columbia Basin Project, State of Washington

c. Imperial Valley, California

d. Salt River Project, Arizona

In order to take advantage of the University training in the

United States as being suggested in this report it may become

necessary to send all six candidates to the same training

session in the United States at the same time. It is expected

that the University will need to design a special course along

the lines as suggested below. Therefore, they may require that

all six attend the same session as opposed to splitting the

group into 2 groups of 3 to be sent over a 2 year period.

To facilitate the training each candidate should be profi

cient in the English language. Training in the following areas

is recommended.

D. University Work-United States

1. Candidates are to receive a basic short course on the

subject of soil, water, and plant relationships. The

course should be structured for civil engineers who

will be in charge of large evaluation and analysis

programs. These programs will attempt to monitor and

assess the changes to soil salinity, ground water

qualtity, and depths to water which are expected to

-32-

occur as result of installing extensive tile drainage

system in the Nile Valley and Delta areas. Besides the

basic elements of a course in soil, water, and plant

relationships the course should cover the following:

a. Instruction in the basic dynamics involved with

water in soil as it pertains to soil saturation,

field capacity, permanent wilting point and how

these relate to plants and their need for water.

b. Drainage problems and leaching requirements of

plants.

c. Plant production and its relationship to soil

salinity.

d. Secific soil monitoring needs to determine changes

of soil salinity, sodium, etc. in order to assess

the relative benefits that can be attributed to

the installation of tile drainage systems.

e. Soil salinity and the effects on plants with

special emphasis on SARe and ESP relationships in

soils containing high percentages of swelling

clays (soils with C.E.C. that range between 30 and

70)

f. Irrigation hazards related to irrigation of lands

of high CEC (Sodic soils) with good quality low

electrolite water such as from the Nile River.

Also instruct on the methods of reclamation available to

improve such soils after drainage systems are

installed.

E. University Work-Cairo

It is suggested that standard courses in computer

science be taken. A short course in computer science

directed for managers is sufficient for those who will

manage the E&A programs. Regular courses for those

-33-

engineers and operators should be taken by those who

will enter and procure data from the computer.

F. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation training

It is suggested that the university training in the

United States be !allowed with a 3 to 4 week hands-on

training with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The

training should cover the following elements.

a. Training in the field investigative methods

employed in the evaluation and analysis of

completed drainage projects. The training should

include the type, extent, and design of data

collection programs.

b. Specific data to be collected and analysis mad.e in

the determination of drainage system effectiveness

in the removal ~nd control of soil salinity,water

quality improvement, and water table control.

c. Training in the investigative methods to employ in

order to assess if completed drainage systems are

functioning and operating as designed.

d. O&M methods employed to maintain surface and sub

surface drainage systems. Also methods being

employed in the flushing and maintenance of per

forated pipe drains.

e. Pump-out tests for soil permeabilities as used by

the Bureau of Reclamation.

f. General investigative methods employed by the

Bureau of Reclamation including the use and value

of aerial photography to assist field personnel in

the identification and location of monitoring

sites, identification of crops and cropped areas,

soil salinity problem areas, and for soil survey work.

From field observation it appears that the above company has

improved the design of the dutch auger. The company will

manufacture the sizes and extension lengths needed to

accomplish the work in Egypt. What is required is as follows:

-35-

..

a. It is estimated that a sand augers is needed that will

construct a hole 10 cm in diameter. This will allow the

installation of perforated plastic pipe (PVC) with an outside

diameter of 9 cm.

b. Each field crew will require 1 mud auger that will

construct a hole 10 cm, in diameter. The auger will need

to be equiped with pipe extensions that allow boring the

hole to a total depth of 2.5 meters. The extensions should

be interchangeable to also be used with the sand or

dutch augers.

c. Each field crew will require 1 dutch auger that will

construct a hole 8 cm in diameter.

d. It is suggested that a few extra augers be purchased in

case of breakage or loss.

4. Three inch schedule 40 PVC

This pipe is to be used in those sandy soil areas to pre

vent the hole from collapsing during the pump-out test for soil

permeability. It is expected that only 10 complete sets of

pipe are needed. One set of pipe to consist of 1-5 foot length

of pipe-not perforated and 1-5 foot length of pipe perforated

with slots. The slot openings should be a minimum of at least

5 percent total openings per foot length of pipe. Slot size to

be 0.004 inch, the 10 complete ·sets will allow 1 crew to

install 10 holes each week. The pipes to be removed and moved

to new locations each week if required. It is suggested that a

few extra sets of pipe be purchased in case of breakage.
