Egypt is located in the eastern corner of Africa on the Mediterranean Sea. The
agricultural area in Egypt is composed of two parts: Nile Delta and Valley, which is
the main contributor to food production, trading activities and national economy. It
is also the most densely populated area in Egypt. Climate variability and change
have forced us to think about the future of water resources and its sustainability
under the current situation of water scarcity. The limited share of the Nile water that
Egypt receives is not expected to increase in the future. Taking into account the
population growth and the expected negative effect of climate change on rain in
Ethiopia, Egypt will face a problem to allocate water to agriculture to maintain food
security. The major crops involve in food security in Egypt are: wheat, maize, rice
and sugarcane. There is a gap between production and consumption of wheat,
maize and sugarcane. Whereas, for rice, there is a need to reduce its cultivated area,
as its water consumption is high and its production is enough for local consumption
at the time being.
The actual water resources currently available for use in Egypt are
55.5 BCM/year, and 1.3 BCM/year effective rainfalls on the northern strip of the
Nile Delta, non-renewable groundwater for western desert and Sinai, while water
requirements for different sectors are of the order of 79.5 BCM/year. The gap
between the needs and availability of water is about 20 BCM/year. This gap is
overcome by recycling agricultural drainage water. Egypt has reached a state where
the quantity of water available is imposing limits on its national economic devel-
opment. As indication of scarcity in absolute terms, often the threshold value of
1000 m3/capita/year is used. Egypt has passed that threshold already. As a threshold
of absolute scarcity 500 m3/capita/year is used, this will be evident with population
predictions for 2025, which will bring Egypt down to 500 m3/capita/year (Ministry
of Irrigation and Water Resources, 2014). Since 85 % of the total available water is
consumed in agriculture and most of the on-farm irrigation systems are low efficient
coupled with poor irrigation management, water scarcity will negatively affect food
security. Furthermore, surface irrigation is the major system in Egypt applied to
83 % of the old cultivated land (Nile Delta and Valley). Application efficiency of

Alexandria is the wettest city in Egypt. Demiatte and Kafr El-Sheik are gov-
ernorates with the least temperature fluctuation between day and night. Minia,
Assuit, Qena and Suhag are governorates with the most temperature fluctuation
between day and night. Aswan is the hottest in summer days. Figure 1 shows the
map of Nile Delta and Valley governorates.
To accomplish the quantification of the effect of climate change on production
of the selected crops, ET, crop factor and water requirements for the selected crops
should be calculated under present time. Furthermore, a similar procedure should be
carried out under the future climate change scenario developed by an Atmospheric
Oceanic General Circulation model to determine the percentage of increase in water
requirements for each of the selected crops. The effect of improved water man-
agement practices, such as cultivation on raised beds or increasing water application
efficiency on the selected crops will be investigated under both present time and
climate change, where it can be used as adaptations to climate change.
References
Climate plays an important role in crop production. Crops growth periods, crops
water requirements, and scheduling irrigation for crops are dependent on weather
conditions. The calculation of the evapotranspiration (ET) includes all the weather
The Basic Irrigation Scheduling model (BISm) was written using MS Excel to help
people plan irrigation management of crops. The BISm model calculates ET using
the Penman–Monteith (P–M) equation (Monteith 1965) as presented in the United
Nations FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper (FAO, 56) by Allen et al. (1998). If
only temperature and solar radiation data are input, Hargreaves–Samani equation is
used (Snyder et al. 2004). The weather station latitude and elevation must also be
input. After calculating daily means by month, a cubic spline curve fitting sub-
routine is used to estimate daily ET rates for the entire year.
The BISm model was used to calculate monthly ET values as an average over
10 years, from 2004 to 2013 for each of the 17 studied governorates using P–M
equation. Furthermore, ET values using H–S equation for these governorates were
calculated and then compared to ET values of P–M equation.
The calculated values of ET(P–M) and ET(H–S) in each governorate were graphed
to ease comparison. The results for Alexandria (Fig. 1.1), Demiatte (Fig. 1.2), Kafr
El-Sheik (Fig. 1.3), and El-Dakahlia (Fig. 1.4) showed that during summer months,
the H–S equation underestimated ET values.

Comparison Between ET(P-M) and ET(H-S) Values 5
With respect to El-Monofia, Fig. (1.9), and El-Sharkia (Fig. 1.10), the values ET
(P–M) and ET(H–S) were close to each other from January to May, and then the
deviations were higher in the months after.
In El-Kalubia governorate (Fig. 1.11), the situation was different, where low
deviation was observed only in the summer months, whereas there was no deviation
between the values of ET(P–M) and ET(H–S) for the rest of the months. Similar
trend was observed in Beni Swief governorate with higher deviation from May to
August (Fig. 1.12). In El-Minia governorate, the deviation was very low (Fig. 1.13),
and in Suhag governorate (Fig. 1.14), the deviation was higher from May to July.

The difference between ET(P–M) and ET(H–S) for El-Giza (Fig. 1.15) and
El-Fayoum (Fig. 1.16) was low for most of the months.
Regarding to Qena governorate, there was no difference between values of ET
(P–M) and ET(H–S) in June and July. However, for the rest of the months, there
were no differences (Fig. 1.17).
The above comparison showed that there were deviations between monthly ET
values calculated for each equation in each governorate. Therefore, to increase the
accuracy of the estimation, a linear regression equation was established with ET
values resulted from P–M plotted as the dependent variable and ET values from H–S

equation plotted as the independent variable. The intercept (a) and calibration slope
(b) of the best fit regression line were used as regional calibration coefficients for
each governorate. This methodology was developed by Shahidian et al. (2012) as
follows:
An equation for each governorate was developed, where different (a) and
(b) values were estimated. The quality of the fit between the two methodologies was
presented in terms of the coefficient of determination (R2), which is the ratio of the
explained variance to the total variance and through calculation of root-mean-square
error per observation (RMSE/obs), which gives the standard deviation of the model
prediction error per observation (Jamieson et al. 1998). Regression equations,

Khalil (2013) indicated that under current climate, Aswan governorate has the
highest value of ET, in comparison with all other governorates, and Demiatte has
the lowest value of ET, which is similar to what is presented in Table (1.2).
Similar procedure could be done using ET(P–M) values obtained from
FAO AQUASTAT website: http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/gis/index3.stm.
These values can be obtained for any location on Earth. The obtained values are
normal weather parameters (average of 30 years from 1961 to 1990), in addition to
ET values calculated using P–M equation.
Furthermore, the above methodology could solve a large problem that faces
researchers and extension workers in irrigation scheduling in Egypt and in other
14 1 Evapotranspiration Under Changing Climate
The agricultural system in Egypt is vulnerable to climate change due to its limited
water resources and strong dependence on irrigation for crop production. Exploring
the impacts of climate change on crop evapotranspiration is important for water
management and agricultural sustainability. Climate change and its syndrome, i.e.,
higher temperature, will increase ET and that will affect the hydrological system
and water resources (Shahid 2011). In Egypt, temperature rise by 1 °C may increase
ET rate by about 4–5 % (Eid 2001). Furthermore, Khalil (2013) indicated that ET
values will increase under climate change compared to current climate. Thus,
quantifying the changes in ET due to climate change is very important for man-
agement of water resources.
36 (1989) (therefore, the first part of its name: EC) and a comprehensive param-
eterization package developed at Hamburg (therefore, the abbreviation HAM). The
part describing the dynamics of ECHAM is based on the ECMWF documentation,
which has been modified to describe the newly implemented features and the
changes necessary for climate experiments. Since the release of the previous ver-
sion, ECHAM4, the whole source code, has been extensively redesigned in the
major infrastructure and transferred to FORTRAN 95, ECHAM is now fully por-
table and runs on all major high-performance platforms. The restart mechanism is
implemented on top of net CDF and because of that it absolutely independent on the
underlying architecture. The resolution of the model is 1.9 × 1.9°.
ECHAM5 model was used to develop A1B climate change scenario for each
weather station in each governorate. IPCC (2007) describes the A1 storyline and
scenario family as a future world of very rapid economic growth, global population
that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, and the rapid introduction of new
and more efficient technologies. Major underlying themes are convergence among
regions, capacity building, and increased cultural and social interactions, with a
substantial reduction in regional differences in per capita income. One of its family
is A1B, where its technological balance is across all sources (balanced is defined as
not relying too heavily on one particular energy source, on the assumption that
similar improvement rates apply to all energy supply and end-use technologies).
The downloaded scenario was for the years 2020, 2030, and 2040 and composed
of maximum and minimum temperature, rain, and solar radiation. These weather
parameters were not enough to calculate ET with P–M equation. However, they are
enough to calculate ET using H–S equation. The developed equations were used to
calculate ET values under A1B climate change scenario in 2020, 2030, and 2040.
ET values under A1B climate change scenario in 2020, 2030, and 2040 were
calculated for each governorate, and yearly average value was calculated.
Figures (1.35, 1.36, 1.37, 1.38, 1.39,1.40, 1.41, 1.42, 1.43, 1.44, 1.45, 1.46, 1.47,
1.48, 1.49, 1.50 and 1.51) presented comparison between ET values under current
climate and under A1B climate change scenario 2020, 2030, and 2040 in each
governorate.
