Overview

In the light of the Midterm Review (MTR) mission, from January 14th to 25th, aiming at regular monitoring of the JCAR project, a meeting was held with the MTR team.

The meeting begins with the Modelling component of the A4I project, and attended by Dr. Ibrahim Jaafar, project coordinator, featured a presentation by Mr. Hossam El Nagar from the Planning Sector about the RIBASIM program, which calculates water quantities for main canals nationwide based on cultivated area, crop composition, climatic conditions, and soil type and salinity. Mrs. Ebtisam Hassan from the Planning Sector presented the program’s database, while Dr. Hend Samir from the Groundwater Research Institute discussed the surface groundwater aspect and how to create interface files with the program. Mr. Ihab Abdel Karim from the Drainage Research Institute demonstrated the program’s operation and shared results obtained from the project.

In the same context, Mr. Sherif Fouda and Mr. Jaber Abdel Latif from Wageningen University explained the NASME program, which calculates economic and agricultural variables related to water distribution, such as crop self-sufficiency, import-export volumes, and the country's total income.

Dr. Ahmed Samir from the Survey Research Institute, Dr. Aya Aziz, and Mr. Hossam Al Jazar from the Drainage Research Institute presented the SWAP program, focusing on soil salinity accumulation and irrigation water quantities required to maintain acceptable salinity levels, as well as the impact of salt content on productivity.

The meeting continued with a discussion of the Safe Coasts project, attended by the evaluation committee and Dr. Moheb Mina Eskander, project coordinator from the Coastal Research Institute, and Dr. Youssef Joueili. Dr. Mostafa El Maghraby gave an illustrative presentation about the SWAN program for modeling waves along the Egyptian North Coast, covering the project's introduction, methodology, calibration process, conclusions, and recommendations.

Eng. Ahmed Romeya presented the construction of a hydrodynamic model for the Egyptian North Coast using the Delft 3D FM program, discussing the data used, calibration process, conclusions, and recommendations.

The meeting concluded with the committee thanking the management and members of the project for their significant efforts and impressive results achieved.
