agricultural extension and water advisory in the different stages of
irrigation development projects, as well as investigating the possible

field. This study was conducted in two governorates (Quena and Kafr EI-
Sheikh). Data were collected through personal interview by using a
questionnaire from agricultural extension workers and water advisory
engineers (35 and 25, respectively) in May and June, 2013. Data were
presented by using averages, percentages and frequencies tabulation.
The study results can be summarized as following:
Agricultural extension should focus on awareness stage of the project while
water advisory should concern with initial and final planning and
implementation stages.
In monitoring and Evaluation stags both of them implement different tasks.
Complementary relationship could be established between them according to
their capabilities to perfom integrated tasks
Results of the study revealed also the main problems that prevent from
. integration due to the absence of the finance to perform joint projects and lack
