Abstract

This report presents the study of the management of a secondary irrigation canal located at the West of the Nile delta: the canal El Resqa. This canal at the present time is in course of transformation and its modification is part of a vast programme of modernization of the irrigation, the Improvement Irrigation Programme of Egypt. The purpose of this project implemented by the Egyptian state and financed by the World Bank, is to rationalize the use of agricultural water. On the field in Egypt, ISIIMM project has implemented a team who's responsibility among others is to facilitate the process of modernization of certain irrigation canals, like El Resqa canal.
The aim of this study is to understand the mechanism of rationalization carried out within the framework of this project while being interested in particular in its consequences on the hydraulic system and its consequences on peasant society. In a concrete way, the objective is also to make an inventory of the process of modernization with El Resqa for the members of ISIIMM team.
