Irrigation in Egypt
Kingdom Agricultural Development Company (KADCO) has acquired over 160,000 ha of land in the Western Sahara with the aim of developing a major irrigation scheme. However, before embarking on this US$500M project, it was decided to develop an experimental farm near Abu Simbel in southern Egypt to test the crops and irrigation techniques for the main development. GRM International contracted FSA Irrigation to design the 200 ha experimental farm. The design includes centre-pivot, lateral move and drip irrigation.
