1 DRAINFRAME FOR RIDING THE TRAIN OF INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN EGYPT Hussam Fahmy Drainage Research Institute National Water Research Center, EGYPT Session 29: Irrigation and Drainage in the context of Integrated Water Resources Management 3/8/2005 3:05 PM 1

2 OUTLINE Integrated Irrigation Improvement & Management Project IIIMP Objectives IIIMP Description Application of DRAINFRAME Application to IIIMP Project DRAINFRAME Benefits Potential Applications 3/8/2005 3:05 PM 2

3 BEFORE IIIMP Parallel improvement projects. Drainage Irrigation Lifting (Pumps) Optimum cumulative benefits of improvements are not attained Benefits of individual improvement activities are hampered Sometimes they do not coincide geographically Delayed implementation of the other improvements. 3/8/2005 3:05 PM 3

4 IIIMP OBJECTIVES Develop a framework for: integrated water and land management planning implementation of associated physical interventions Improve institutional, financial and environmental sustainability of water services through intensive participation of users and private sector: Investment Operation and maintenance Increase farm income through improved agricultural production 3/8/2005 3:05 PM 4
