Technological and Modern Irrigation Environment in Egypt

Part of the book series: Springer Water ((SPWA))

Abstract

This chapter casts light on the main conclusions and recommendations of the chapters presented in the book titled “Technological and modern irrigation environment in Egypt: Best management practices and evaluation.” In addition, some findings from a few recently published research work related to technological and modern irrigation environment in Egypt. Therefore, this chapter contains information on irrigation practice: problems and evaluation, smart irrigation technology, irrigation management, irrigation system design, and water reuse and treatment. In addition, a set of recommendations for future research work is pointed out to direct future research toward best management practices and evaluation, which is the main subject of strategic importance under Egyptian circumstances.
