It aims to identify the production and economic indicators of the various Egyptian field and vegetable crops during the period (2010-2012) to determine the relative importance of the cultivated areas of each crop, as well as to estimate the water needs of the most important crops, as well as to estimate the net return of those crops. The study results on the descriptive and in explaining and presenting the economic variables. The results showed that the total cultivated area of ​​field crops amounted to about 10.7 million feddans, and the average per feddan share of water for various Egyptian field crops during the study period came in the forefront of the sugar cane crop, which occupies the first place in the feddan's need for water, with an average of about 9.9 thousand. m3, and the rice crop comes in second place with an average of about 5 thousand m3, the total area of ​​vegetable crops amounted to about 1.1 million feddans.
