| Abstract | ||
| An adapted card-simulated-version of the irrigation management game was developed to conform to the old surface irrigation system in the Nile Delta. This first version was applied and evaluated for a case study from Dakahlia Governorate. The water supply factor and yield response factor to water deficit were used as indicators for the goodness of water supply and coincided yield. Because of the multidisciplinary factors included in the irrigation management game a computer-based model needs to be developed to determine how best to allocate irrigation water resources among crops and among farms when water supply is limited. It should take into account the socio-economic and technical factors of farm income. | ||
