2. Ph.D. Thesis Summary
o Title:- “Design Program for Integrated Improved Farm Irrigation System in Old Lands of
Delta Egypt”
o Supervisors:- Prof. Kamal Abou-El-Hassan Ali Ibrahim, and Ass. Prof. Ashraf Saad Zaghloul
o Abstract:
Managing water resources in Egypt has become a difficult task, where multiple and growing
demands are competing for a limited water supply. In order to deal with this situation, the
Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) has adopted Integrated Water Resource
Management (IWRM) as official policy to improve water management in Egypt. Concepts
such as decentralization, water user participation, water quality, and water use efficiency,
have been promoted and implemented via many projects such as: the Integrated Irrigation
Improvement and Management Project (IIIMP). The main goals of this thesis can be divided
into two objectives. First objective, an analytical program, using Matlab software has been
developed to design the improved low pressure pipeline mesqa system in the old lands of
Delta Egypt. The program was calibrated with field data of two mesqas located in Kafr El-
Sheikh and El-Beheira Governorates. Good agreement was obtained between the results of
the program and the existing improved mesqas. The new program was extended to include
the design of the integrated improved low pressure pipeline marwa system. This extension is
essential to identify the impacts of the design of improved marwa pipelines on the existing
mesqa pipelines to increase the network efficiency. One of these impacts is to calculate the
required raise in the water level in the stand tank due to the improved marwa pipeline instead
of just adding an approximately two meters as used in MMHD program which will be
reflected on reducing the total system cost either in the cost of the stand tank or the pump
because the accurate required raise can be less than two meters. The new program also can
detect the optimal design velocity for the pipe network’s design under different constraints
such as maximum velocity limit, restricted height of the stand tank, combination of the
previous two constraints, and minimum total system cost. Second objective, the program
offers a design of rotational scheduling for the operation of the improved irrigation network
inside the field to ensure equity water distribution between farmers and to overcome the
problem of water shortage at the tail ends of mesqas. The rotational scheduling uses the
combined system curve technique either in case of one or two opened outlets/network. For
each opening scenario, all the control parameters such as the accurate discharge of the opened
outlets; the corresponding water level inside the tank; and pump discharge and its efficiency
are detected by the program. Also the corresponding irrigation time for each opened outlets
according to the crop pattern is calculated. The program can also determine the scenario for
minimum total irrigation time for each mesqa on the branch canal. So, the final result of the
thesis is to design and operate the integrated improved farm irrigation system in old land of
delta Egypt. (Four papers of this thesis were published).
3. M.Sc. Thesis Summary
o Title:- “Developing an Analytical Program for Solving the Analytical Equations of
Fully/Partially Penetrating Wells, Using Matlab Program”
o Supervisors:- Prof. Sherif El-Didy, and Prof. Ahmed Wagdy
o Abstract:
The main objective of the thesis is to develop an analytical program, using Matlab program,
for solving the analytical equations of groundwater wells. The equations are developed by
Theis, Hantush, Jacob, and Neuman covering confined aquifers, semi-confined aquifers, and
unconfined ones. The program saves the time and effort of calculations for solving the
complicated analytical equations. The program is a visual interacting one, but this interface is
made using Matlab program, with the advantage of reducing the probability of error in
entering data. The solutions simulate different conditions of fully/ partially penetrating wells
in steady and unsteady conditions. More understanding of the wells hydraulics has been
achieved through using the program, and it used to solve some field problems.
