      abstract = {This book targets the issue of water scarcity in Egypt as  a typical example of the world water crisis. Today, the  available water resource is facing its limit because of  rapid increase in water demand as a result of population  growth and changes in peoples’ life-style. The basic idea  to solve the problem of water scarcity is that the  irrigation sector, the biggest user of water, should  increase water use efficiency. However, the real problem is  how this can be achieved in view of the crucial need for  water in this sector. This book addresses this challenge  through case studies from the Nile delta in Egypt. The  water problem in the Nile delta, the major source for water  in Egypt, is discussed in this book from all its various  aspects. This book covers the situation before and after  the advent of the Aswan High Dam, so that the reader  understands the entire development. Another special feature  are the extensive and scientific descriptions of  contemporary topics in water and agriculture, especially  from the viewpoint of water saving and sustainability.  These descriptions are based on field experiments and  surveys in a six-year international research project.  Topics of this book are local, but their implications are  global.},
