FOOD IN AFRICA: Egypt moves to develop irrigation systems to save water, boost productivity 

from Ethiopia it is incredible how Egypt uses its limited resources and became top producing in the world. their is alot to learn from egypt.

irrigation+rainfall = evaporation + transpiration + runoff + leaching Which one of these processes do Farmers really have control over during the growing season? If you have the ability to irrigate your sandy soils and water is cheap and plentiful, then you are fortunate and have some control on the left side of the equation. If you do not have irrigation, you must look at the factors on the right side of the equation to see what can be controlled or minimized to benefit your crop. Evaporation from the soil surface can be reduced with mulch or leaving crop residue on the soil surface. Transpiration is a function of the plant leaf surface area and the weather. Runoff is or should be minimal in sandy textured soils with high percolation rates.This leaves the leaching of water out of the root zone as the #1 controllable loss of moisture to your crop. Interrupting the downward movement of moisture in your soil by installing a "smart" barrier can greatly reduce the leaching of water and nutrients. SWRT subsurface membranes detain/retain up to 90% of irrigation or rainfall in the root zone for crop use by disrupting the gravitational movement of water in the soil while still allowing excess water to percolate and do not create anaerobic soil conditions.

The fact that you have a strong local production will trigger an exportation. Local crops shouldn't be sidelined for cash crop, it can definitely flow along with it and export can be generated from that

The Last Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing, so much so that a man takes Zakat out of his property and cannot find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers.( Sahih Muslim book 12 hadiz 76)

Africa needs irrigation systems for farming in rural areas

وطمعانين كمان في حبة الميه اللي بتيجي... يلاا بقي ربنا عادل اهو بيخلصوا علي بعض

Egypt needs irrigation systems for farming in rural areas

Mashallah

Better with subtitles 💞 please next time

Irrigation system is good.

Can you imagine ETHIOPIa and SUDAN do what EGYPT is doing on the river we can feed the world

here technology should be updated they are wasting lot of water instead they should practice drip irrigation this will save water and electricity along.

Drip irrigation not irrigation

Egypt blindly expand her irrigation with out considering the Nile river is a water for 10 Countries.

Ethiopia provides 85% Nile’s of water but receives Zero. Egypt has received the lion’s share. It is time Ethiopia uses its fair share of water that originates from its own land. -About 60% of Ethiopians don’t have access to electricity. Egypt has 100% electric access. © Sisay Alemayehu

Egyptians are not Africans. Stop including them in the conversation of Africa.
