  • Impact of climate change on crop production and water-use efficiency in Rashid City, Egypt
    Mohammed Tohamy, Hany Mostafa
    Water Science, 2026
    Egyptian agriculture faces significant risks from climate change due to limited water resources, as rising irrigation demands strain fixed or declining water supplies. For sustainable, long-term agriculture, it is essential to improve water-use efficiency in converting water into crop yields and economic benefits, especially since farming consumes the most water. This study examined how climate change affects irrigation water efficiency in Rashid City, Beheira Governorate. The research employed a descriptive-quantitative method, collecting primary data through a structured survey of 120 farmers during the summer of 2024. The focus was on four main crops: cotton, rice, maize, and wheat, covering yields, net irrigation water requirements, irrigation practices, production costs, and crop prices. Baseline conditions were established using secondary climate and agricultural data from 2006–2020, yielding water productivity values of 0.25-1.08 kg/m³. Projections indicate that, by 2050, different crops will respond uniquely to a warming climate. Under warming scenarios of +2°C to +4°C, cotton is expected to increase water productivity by 8–20%, leading to a 2.7–38% rise in net income per unit of water used. Conversely, rice shows an opposite trend: at +4°C, water productivity decreases by 21.95%, but net income per water unit increases by 154%. For maize, water productivity is projected to decline by 29.1% with a 3.5°C temperature increase, along with an 80% reduction in economic efficiency. Wheat faces the greatest decline, with water productivity dropping by 14.55% at +2°C and 21.82% at +4°C increases, while economic efficiency decreases by 92% and 114%, respectively. These findings highlight the need to develop climate-resilient varieties and improve irrigation management to sustain the productivity and economic value of limited water resources.
  • SWOT and PESTEL analyses in assessing the sustainability of In-stream wetlands in Egypt
    Hany Mostafa
    Water Science, 2025
    In-stream wetlands have emerged as a promising approach for improving drainage water quality. This paper assesses the efficiency and sustainability of natural in-stream wetlands (ISW) within two Egyptian drains (Tellin Drain and Faraa Al Bahwo Drain) for improving drainage water quality through a comprehensive SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal) analysis. The study assessed internal factors, including the cost-effectiveness, performance, and institutional challenges of ISWs, emphasizing their demonstrated capacity to improve water quality and their cost efficiency in pilot programs. However, the study also found weaknesses in institutional frameworks, technical capabilities, and management structure. Both wetland areas face significant external pressures, including political instability, economic challenges such as inflation and funding availability, and the impacts of climate change. Political stability and consistent policy are crucial for the success of ISW projects, yet both wetland areas struggle with governmental inefficiencies and leadership transitions. Economic factors such as inflation and inequality, particularly in Faraa Al Bahwo Wetland, pose additional risks to sustainability. Social factors, including rising health awareness and urbanization, contribute positively to wetland success, but population growth and social resistance remain substantial obstacles. Technologically, both wetlands face challenges related to outdated infrastructure, although advancements in data analytics and technology adoption offer opportunities for improvement. Environmental threats, including climate change and resource depletion, are significant but may be mitigated through effective environmental regulations. A PESTEL-SWOT integration matrix was developed to visualize the interaction between external factors and internal strengths, providing a strategic framework for stakeholders to optimize ISW implementation. These insights emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to wetland management, integrating internal and external factors for effective and sustainable drainage water quality improvement. The study recommends several strategies to tackle these challenges and enhance the sustainability of ISW. EPADP should concentrate on improving internal management by providing staff training and clearly defining roles to boost coordination and accountability. Additionally, it is essential to develop a diversified long-term financing plan that includes public-private partnerships and international climate funds to secure sustainable funding.
  • Impact of pulsed drip irrigation and organo-mineral N-fertilization on improving sandy soil properties and limon production

    Water Science, 2024
    The depletion of water resources has intensified with the evolving global climate change, leading to increased demands for water requirements in agricultural practices. In addressing these challenges, our consideration has centered on the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies. Lemon yields are diminishing due to the effects of severe climate change. To counter this decline, farmers resort to the application of nitrogen fertilizers in an attempt to boost yields. Nevertheless, the excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers has adverse effects on both plants and the environment. Therefore, two field experiments were carried out during the years 2021 and 2022 at the experimental farm (in the Nubaria region, Egypt) to examine the effects of two irrigation methods [conventional drip irrigation and pulse drip irrigation] and integrated nitrogen fertilization [five organo-mineral N fertilization rates OMN: OMN1 (100% mineral N + 0% organic N), OMN2 (75% MN + 25% ON), OMN3 (50% MN + 50% ON), OMN4 (25% MN + 75% ON), and OMN5 (0% MN + 100% ON)] on water productivity, lemon productivity, and fruit quality. In arid conditions, soil organic matter content, soil microorganisms activity, soil pH, water application efficiency, water stress inside the root zone, lemon productivity (LP), lemon water productivity (WPLemon), and lemon fruit quality were examined. The findings showed that the pulse drip irrigation approach improved LP, WPLemon, vitamin C, and lemon’s total soluble solids. The results also showed how integrated N-fertilization was important for increasing the proportion of organic component addition. Our findings suggested that applying pulsed drip irrigation coupled with integrating N-fertilization boosted water productivity, lemon productivity, and fruit quality. The highest outcomes were achieved when using pulse drip irrigation and 50% organic N + 50% mineral N-fertilizers.
