ITU Workshop on “ICT as an Enabler for Smart Water Management” (Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013) Utilization of ICT for Enhanced Water Resources Management &Monitoring Networks at MWRI Ayman Ibrahim, General Director for Studies and Projects , Telemetry, MWRI [email protected] [email protected] Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 Challenges Limited Water Resources Increased Population, Share 55.5 billion m3 /year according to the 1959 Agreement Population increase, thereby increasing the requirements of drinking water Industry growth 9 million acres cultivated area Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 2 Challenges Pollution & Water Quality deterioration Horizontal Expansion Plan National Programs adopted by the State to increase the cultivated area in the near future (reclamation and cultivation of 3.4 million acres) Conflicts between users Illegal Agricultural Land Agricultural Policies Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 3 To face these challenges Improving the overall water use efficiency in order to minimize the losses out of the system and distributing the available water for agriculture in an equitable way. Improved planning and management procedures are key measures generally prescribed to make the optimum use of the available water resources. Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 4 To face these Challenges Satisfying future demands in Egypt will highly depend on better utilization and efficient use of present water resources. Development of additional water resources Re-use of agricultural drainage water, Groundwater, Rain and storm water Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 5 To face these challenges The Egyptian Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation MWRI is currently adopting the Integrated Water Resources Management IWRM approach and also actively involved in National Water Policy which is also based on integrated water management.

Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 10 ICT & Water Resources A main engine to achieve such goals and face these challenges is the availability of accurate and continuous (real time) water related data about the behavior of the irrigation system. This will help decision makers and water distribution managers take the appropriate and right decisions at the right times. Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 11 ICT & Water Resources Information technology and rapid development of communication systems definitely help implement such IT systems in a very cost effective way. Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 12 Monitoring Networks During the last few years the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has adopted many programs that aim to establishment of different monitoring networks that provides real time data on water quantity and water quality.

Maintaining the water level is primary concern. The designed water level value at upstream pumping station is 23 meter, however, at some times it reaches 25 meter. Reaching this value for long period of times is very harmful for the irrigation bodies and may end up with floods and possible damage of drainage banks. 47 11/6/2015 نظام االنذار بمحطة طلمبات صرف اهناسيا المحافظة على مستوى المياه في المحطة لتجنب الفيضانات. المشكلة تظهرعند توقف أحدي الوحدات عن العمل لفترة معينة من الزمن فأن مستوى المياه يرتفع فوق قيمة المنسوب التصميمي و هو 23مترا ،ولكن في بعض األوقات يصل إلى 25متر. ان نظام االنذار سوف يقدم رسالة لإلنذار المبكر لتفادي الفيضانات التخاذ ما يلزم من اجراءات. 48 11/6/2015 نظام االنذار بمحطة طلمبات صرف اهناسيا . . نظام االنذار يمكن تحقيقه محليا بواسطة صفارة إنذار و عن بعد عن طريق خدمة الرسائل القصيرة على الهاتف الجوال وبعد هذا اإلنذار المبكر من العمليات المساعدة في عملية صنع القرار و تقليل آثار المشاكل في وقت مبكر و تحديد اإلجراءات التي يمكن اتخاذها لخفض البوابات واستخدام بدائل أو تسريع عملية الصيانة للمحطة. هذا النظام سوف يساعد صانعي القرار أيضا من خالل تقديم بعض القرارات البديلة في مثل هذه الحالة 49 11/6/2015 Water Quality Monitoring Water quality monitoring system includes 25 sites located along the Nile River and main canals and drains.

Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 Even though of the great benefits provided by these monitoring networks, more effort towards optimizing its operation is still required. 70 Conclusions and Recommendations The areas of the needed efforts could be summarized as follows: Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 Information technology part of the system that will utilize the huge collected data. A reliable Information system design is a need at this stage of the project. The system design should carefully define data flows among different users. 71 Conclusions and Recommendations This should also include design and implementation of Decision Support System DSS to support decision makers at different management levels Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 The existing water level monitoring network should be generalized to allow monitoring of water flows and water volumes to follow Ministry policies related to water volume based allocation. 72 Conclusions and Recommendations The existing monitoring network should be extended to cover the key points at the irrigation network. In order to achieve the Ministry integrated approach in water resources management, Luxor, Egypt, 14-15 April 2013 These monitoring networks should be linked together. 73 Conclusions and Recommendations Utilize the data collection network to build a remote control system Design for irrigation structures for possible generalization.
