TASK 2.3: ESTABLISHMENT OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Eng. Nabil Fawzi (LTTA, Senior Water Resources Management Specialist) is the coordinator for this Task. Eng. Ayman Shedid and Eng. Soha Mostafa who was replaced by Eng. Tamer Gomaa provided technical assistance support to the Zagazig IWRM II Regional Office during Year 3. Eng. Elbayoumi Ali Ez Eldeen who was replaced by Eng. Mohamed Elbakry and Eng. Akmal Badie Henein provided technical assistance support to the Mansoura IWRM II Regional Office during Year 3. Dr. Tom S. Sheng (CADI), Water Resources Information Specialist, provided expatriate STTA support. Activities carried out during Year 3 include: • Maintenance support for the data loggers installed at 11 telemetry sites continued. Installation of eight additional data loggers procured in 2010 was completed. Procurement of additional eight data loggers was completed and inspected. Inspection surveys for installation of the eight data loggers were conducted and 4/8 were installed. A total of 27 data loggers have been procured for MWRI by the project to date. Procurement of additional data loggers will take place in Year 4. • Under the MISD activity bi-weekly crop data for each branch canal is being collected by MALR and transferred to all 45 IWMDs. • Calibrations were completed at all sites during the year and review of the results is ongoing. Water Flow measurements continued at the 104 inflow/outflow sites to confirm and improve the calibration results. • Water Quality monitoring is ongoing at 289 monitoring sites. All IWMDs are collecting data and entering it into the data base. Some districts report that they utilize the results to shift or blend sources when quality is poor. • Water levels are being entered in the Water Level database in all 45 IWMDs. The eight Directorates are consolidating the data at the Directorate level. Only 37 of 45 IWMDs were calculating the water volume from the WL data base at the end of the year. In some cases, calibration equations have not been entered into the data base and in others the calculation of volume gives results that are not reasonable. The latter case is being investigated by the project and district staff. • Review and consolidation of the canal and drain network digital maps is on-going, 36 of 45 IWMDs completed their maps consisting of 11 layers and are under review. The remaining IWMDs are all working to complete their maps. • Ground Water Monitoring Training course was completed (7/7 events). At request of the head of the Irrigation Department instructions to the Dakahlia undersecretary, the 13 IWMDs in E. & W. Dakahlia included the unlicensed well data in the GW inventory. • The Digital Map Branch Canal Area Survey Training Course was completed (7/7 events). • The Ground Water Data Base training course was completed, 7 events. • Water Level & Complaints Follow up training was completed. • Complaints are being entered in the complaints databases in all 45 IWMDs.
