Abstract

Egypt is considered one of the agricultural countries that used to export all grain and crops to the world. During recent decades, there has been deterioration in irrigation projects in Egypt as a result of the shortage of water and the deterioration of agricultural lands, which led to an ineffective economic return, and loss of agricultural lands due to soil salinity and the deterioration of the economic return from irrigation projects in Egypt. Therefore, it is necessary to develop irrigation systems and study the feasibility of those systems through feasibility studies, which will cause an increase in the return and interest in developing irrigation systems. Feasibility study carried out to determine the best irrigation system and crop pattern with different value of soil salinity till to 15 ds/m in order to overcome salinity of soil, increase income generation and alleviate poverty. Using tolerant crops to overcome the soil salinity and drought help in high salinity soils without needing to reclaim the soil and save water specially the time of need for water and poverty. Adopting the suggested strategies are to reduce or eliminate the impact of salinity by maximizing the revenue of irrigation project specially in degraded land with salts without reclamation the lands.
