No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Irrigation Water Management: Irrigation water needs 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This is one in a series of training manuals on subjects related to Irrigation that will be issued in 1985, 1986 and 1987. The papers are intended for use by field assistants in agricultural extension services and irrigation technicians at the village and district levels who want to increase their ability to deal with farm-level irrigation issues. Irrigation water needs is the third in a series of training manuals on irrigation. Unlike Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 has been divided into two parts. The papers contain material that is intended to provide support for irrigation training courses and to facilitate their conduct. Thus, taken together, they do not present a complete course in themselves, but instructors may find it helpful to use those papers or sections that are relevant to the specific irrigation conditions under discussion. The material may also be useful Co individual students who want to review a particular subject without a teacher. -
ProjectImproving Access to Irrigation and Strengthening Water Resources Management in Afghanistan - UTF/AFG/070/AFG 2021

No results found.The project contributed to an inclusive process in which the voices of relevant stakeholders were heard and considered during the policy discussions that led to the preparation of the VGFSyN. Support was provided for the organization of five regional consultations aimed at obtaining inputs, comments and suggestions on how best to align the VGFSyN with regional and national priorities and needs. The project also contributed to the translation of different versions of the VGFSyN in order to enable the active participation and involvement of sufficient numbers of relevant stakeholders and to ensure that the various iterative versions of the core negotiation document accurately reflected the positions of a wide range of stakeholders. -
ProjectSupport Sustainable Water Management and Irrigation Modernization for Newly Reclaimed Areas - TCP/EGY/3604 2020
Also available in:
No results found.A key challenge for the agriculture sector in Egypt is to feed its growing population in the context of increasing demand on the finite water resources and a trade deficit. Horizontal expansion into new land in the desert has long been strategic in meeting this challenge. Major land reclamation activities have been initiated under the National Reclamation Project, with the objective of increasing agricultural land area by two percent, making agricultural land nine percent of the total area of Egypt. These activities aim to sustainably use the groundwater resources of the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer and other GW systems in different parts of Egypt to irrigate an area of up to 1.5 million feddan (630 000 ha). To this end, the Government of Egypt requested FAO support to the land reclamation programme. Within the Regional Initiative on Water Scarcity, FAO would pilot a data and information management system, based on monitoring and remote sensing (RS) data to assist MWRI and MALR to monitor water consumption and water productivity in the newly reclaimed areas.
