    Abstract

    The effects of reusing drainage water have been evaluated and other options to increase the water utilization rate in Egypt explored. The results are an operational network for monitoring drainage water discharges and salinity along the major drains, a database for monitored drainage water discharges and chemical composition, and a complete series of data yearbooks. A mathematical model has been developed to evaluate the potentials for reusing drainage water in irrigation under arid conditions. The model has been calibrated and validated for the Nile Delta. It has been applied to evaluate water management alternatives related to water saving, increased reuse of drainage water and long-term effects of land reclamation.
