Abstract
Research on water management to achieve higher productivity in irrigated agriculture has
identified raised-bed systems as an important component of improved wheat production
package. Through this farmers in Egypt have successfully achieved higher yields while
ensuring savings in irrigation water. This technology was disseminated for sustainable
agricultural intensification on a large scale in 22 governorates, as part of a nation-wide
campaign by the Egyptian Government on self-sufficiency in wheat production
