The study aimed to identify the economic and environmental impacts of the re-use of agricultural drainage water in different types of irrigation water as, fresh water, agricultural drainage water, and mixed water on the production of the study crops at country, as, wheat, rice, sugar beet, and cotton. Also measuring economic efficiency and technical efficiency for the production of these crops.
The study also aimed to measuring the multi-dimensional poverty index and measuring the total effects of the irrigation water types on the level of poverty in the irrigation area as, (education- health-living standard) Economic, environmental and social problems and their relationship to sustainable development.
The study included six parts. The introduction covered the research problem, the research objectives, the research method, and the data sources.
The first part, Included two chapters: the first dealt theoretical framework and; the second chapter dealt with the reference review of some previous studies.
The second part contained two chapters, the first; concerned with the water resources in Egypt, Dakahlia, its uses, problems, and development, while the second chapter dealt with the development of major crops in Egypt and Dakahlia Governorate.
While included Part III, on the two chapters, concerned with the first chapter in a method to select a sample study. While interested in the second chapter to measure the marginal productivity of water and diagnosis problem of functions such as multicollinearity.
As included Part IV two chapters, concerned with the first chapter economic analysis of costs function for area. While interested in the second chapter, estimate the cost functions for study crops.
While the fifth part included two chapters, in mind the first chapter measuring and analyzing technical efficiency in the production of study crops used for three different types of irrigation water at, Dakahlia Governorate.
As the second chapter concerned with analyzing and measuring multi-dimensional poverty and the factors affecting on farm families used to varying types of irrigation water and its relationship to sustainable development in Dakahlia Governorate.
The sixth part, dealt with two chapters. The first chapter dealt with the concepts related to the environmental effects of re-use of agricultural drainage water in the irrigation area. The second chapter concerned the results of the field study on the environmental effects of re-use of agricultural drainage water in the study area.
The study recommended some factors that would re-use agricultural drainage water, to trying to control the negative effects of this use on the environmental. The need to expand the re-use of agricultural drainage water as a non-traditional water resource. Minimum amount of drainage water flowing to the sea and lakes, which are not less than 8 billion cubic meters annually to preserve life Natural lakes and the salt balance of the Delta lands. Expanding the use of blended irrigation water instead of agricultural drainage water.
