Cairo, Egypt

Pear Altaf,

Following a telephone conversation with the Project Director,Mr. Cenc of the Cormm Cankari Project In Turkey, it appears nothing furtherwill be gained by your visiting Ankara for two days. I decided to confirmthe two nominees for the Deputy posts on Ceuc's assurance-that they arevery acceptable to him and that he was satisfied as to their experience. Heinformed me that the two gentlemen who were proposed and interviewed by me inNovember withdrew their candidacy. I gain the impression that the main reasonfor their withdrawal was that their families would not be happy livingin Co'run or in Cankiri.

As regards your Cairo visit; Mr. Heynes will be arriving there onJanuary 29 and will expect you on the 30th, in accordance with your TravelRequest. He intends to leave Cairo late February 5 directly for London andthen straight for- Washington. Your tickets have been hooked through AmericanExpress, and you will be able to have your tickets reissued through AmericanExpress in Cairo. You will be leaving Cairo by AZ 891 at O840, February 5 forRombe, confirmation at the Hasaler in Rome has been obtained for nights of the5th and 6th, and you have been booked f mrn Rome to London on BE 357 at 1005on February 7th. Accomodation at the Cuumberland for the 7th, 8th and 9th areconfirmed, end you are booked back to Wshington on BA 521 at 1130 on February 10.

As regards hotel accoriodation in Cairo; David Ilaynes told- me that hehad requested same for you and himself two weeks ego. We understand from theFront Office that confirnation has not beecn received but that 1cr. Ilaynesintends to travel as scheduled. Ito will be arriving a day ahoad'of you.I am giving Mr. Ilaynco your flight number ron Khartotmi to Cairo and havesuggested he make arrangements for you to be met and informed you of yourhotel accomodation. Mr. Aiyer is also cabling the Government -agent to-day me:acco modation and giving arrival dates, flight nos. etc.

We have received confirmation from Abu Sharr in Rome to the effectthat he will be awaiting you on 6th for discussions both on Cyprus and Oman.

I have spokten with Mr. Swan of Alexander Gibbs, in charge ofoperations, who will be on miasion Februarzy 9. however, the London projectmanager for the Oman Study will be in Gibbs' office in Reading and will exptectyou between 10 and 10:30am on February 9. I have given you details and'addresses, etc. in a copy of a Memorandum to Files being hand carried byMr. Haynes.

Mr. Altaf Hussain -2- January 27, 1976

While in Cairo you should arrange to see the chairman of EPADP

in connection with my cable to him on tractor crawler procurement, copy

of which is attached. I must receive either a cable or letter in reply

indicating what action he intends to take.

I also attach copies of two letters to Dr. A.I. El-Shabassy

and Mr. Mahmoud Saad El Din Elguindy resulting from the last supervision

mission. The enveloped originals are enclosed and I should be grateful if

you could have them delivered. If possible obtain their reactic's to the

letters.

On January 19 and 20 we had useful discussions with Dr. Mobarak and

Eng. Olama of the Ministry of Health on Bilharzia which were also attended by

Dr. Webbe. The discussions were fruitful and it has been decided to use Bdy-

luscide in the project.

We urged Mobarak to order immediately on his return to Cairo 200 tons

of Boylascide which with current stocks, would be sufficient to supply the project

- first application in 1977. They will endeavor to cover the full .900,000

feddans in March and April of this year, the constraint will be transport

vehicles. In this connection, the Chairman of EPADP has not answered bxy cable,

copy ,attached, as to whether the vehicles on order for the Bilharzia b EPADP

will arrive in time. I would be grateful if you would determine from,'%Ne probable

arrival dates for all vehicles for the Bilharzia program. Documents prepared

by Mr. Sands on the Bilharzia meetings are attached for your information.

The evaluation report on the chemotherapy program was to be ready

shortly after Dr. Mobarak's return; he undertook to forward copies simultaneously

to myself and Dr. Webbe. If the report has not yet been depatched and is

available, I -suggest you collect two copies and post one to Webbe in London.

You may come to mention to the Chairman of EPADP that we propose to

schedule a supervision mission for the two drainage projects in April. in

regards to Upper Egypt II, we shall include in the Appraisal Report a further

120,000 feddans for Bilharzia Control to complete control on the present

program the irrigation system from the diversion weir to the boundary of the

existing Bilharzia sub-project t6gether with the foreign exchange required to

cover the cost overruns Ddyluscide for Upper Egypt I.

SUBJECT: Evaluation of the Molusciding Efforts in Egyptian Drainage I

1. On January 19, 1976, I attended a meeting in Mr. ffrench-Mullen's officeat which Dr. Webb of the London School of Tropical Hygiene and representativesof the Egyptian Ministry of Health discussed the experiments in moluscidingthe upper Egypt drainage area. The experiments were not terribly fruitful ofinsights into the factors affecting costs and effects but did reveal thatBayluscide is generally less costly and more effective.

2. The group also discussed the potential for use of Mallox - the Egyptiananswer to Bayluscide - but concluded that control of particle size was as yetinadequate and the toxicogical implications were inadequately explored to permituse. It was agreed that WHO should be requested to develop the necessarystudies of toxicology.

3. The results of t e e dBayluscide are attached.EP indicates Egyptian pounds, and P.T. piastors.

Re: EGYPT - Credit 181-EGT - Nile

Delta Drainage I; and Credit

393-EGT - Upper Egypt DrainageI

Dear Mr. Elguindy:

I wish to express my gratitude for the hospitality and assistance

you and your staff afforded our recent supervisory mission.. The cour-

tesies were appreciated.

We are pleased to learn from the latest supervision mission that

since the previous mission, the lack of available local funds for the

projects has been overcome, and "that the shortage of engineers in the

Drainage Authority is no longer a problem.

We are, however, very concerned about the delay in project imple-

mentation, especially since the Nile Delta project is now further behind

schedule. The main reasons given for these delays were the insufficient

number of tile laying machines and the scarcity of labor, particularly

in Upper Egypt, We hope that, with the impending delivery of 42 new

tile laying machines, the situation will improve.

We believe that one additional reason for the Nile Delta project

being behind schedule is the delay in the completion of the tile making

factories in Nile Delta. The mission has informed us that although the

machinery has been installed in Tanta, the factory is still not opera-

tional because the outside curing area for tiles has not yet been pre-

pared and the electrical connection and water supply have not been

completed. We are very disappointed with this situation, and we would

appreciate your personal attention to ensure that the above works will

be undertaken as soon as possible to avoid further delays in the operation

of the Tanta factory. At the same time, efforts should be made to com-

plete the construction of the two other factories in Damanhour and Aga

at the earliest possible date.

Mr, Elguindy -2-_ January 26, 1976

Apart from the problem of delays, the mission observed that

in both projects, the maintenance of open and field drains has been

seriously neglected. Adequate and timely maintenance of the drainage

systems is absolutely essential if the benefits of drainage are not to

be lost entirely. The mission was informed that special units have

b"an established in each directorate under the Ministry of Irrigation

for the maintenance of drainage systems. This is a progressive step.

However, in order to solve the vital maintenance problem, the follcwing

further measures should be taken:

(a) the established maintenance units should be placed -

within EPADP since it is the specialized agency for

drainage in the Ministry of Irrigation;

(b) the maintenance units should be provided with the

necessary staff, equipment and transportation facili-

ties for the maintenance of open drains, pipe collec-

tors and tile drains; and

(c) the activities of the drainage maintenance units

should be coordinated with the weed control program.

The mission has also informed us that the gravel used as filter

for the tiles is not appropriately graded and in some cases pebbles of

up to 10 cm in diameter are being used. It is obvious that with this

grade of gravel there is little or no filter function with the result

that there is a grave danger of the tile drains becoming non-functional

in a comparatively short time. The size of pebbles recommended by most

of the drainage specialists is b'etween 2 and 5 mm in diameter. Therefore,

to avoid the danger of negating the whole drainage program, we would urge

you to give strict instruction to the supervising engineers to reject any

material for filters which is not of the appropriate size and quality.

Besides the above issues, which are directly under the responsi-

bility of EPADP in the Ministry of Irrigation, project implementation is

also being hampered due to inadequate coordination between EPADP and the

Ministry of Agriculture's Extension Service. We are writing separately

to Dr. A. I. El-Shabassy, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture

and member of the EPADP Board concerning the Extension Service. A copy

of that letter is attached.

It is our belief that attention to the above issues would go a

long way towards improving the situation in both projects,. We would

suggest, therefore, that you consider the above recommendations and,

Mr. Elguindy -3- January 26, 1976

if you deem them reasonable, arrange for their early implementation.

We would appreciate being informed of any action you propose to take.

Sincerely yours,

Re: EGYPT - Credit 181-EGT - NileDelta Drainage I; and Credit393-ECT - Upper Egypt Drainage I

Dear Dr. El-Shabassy:

During last November and December a mission from IDA was in

Egypt for about four weeks. Their visit included supervision of on-

going drainage projects in the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt, financed

by IDA credits 181 and 393. One of the observations made by this

mission was that there is very little communication between EPADP

and the Extension Service at t1le district and village levels. More-

over, the farmers were not fully aware of what were the roles of

EPADP, the contractors and the Extension Service. Farmers were not

acquainted with their own responsibilities in respect of the drainage

program and the Extension Service, or with what to expect-from the

agencies mentioned. We believe that if this, situation could be

improved, it would enable the drainage program to be carried out more

effectively. and the results of the program to be sustained in the

future. In our opinion the situation would improve s'onsidurably if

the following actions were taken:

(a) seminars should be initiated for EPADP and Extensionpersonnel at the Governorate level to acquaint them

with their respective roles and to explain how Exten-

sion could assist in the EPADP program;

(b) committees, consisting of Extension and EPADP personnel

should be established at Cairo, each Governorate and

District level in which plans could be formulated for

fostering EPADP's program in each village;

Dr. El-Shabassy -2- January 26, 1976

(c) a training program should be established totrain extension personnel in all aspects ofthe drainage program, to enable the Extension

agents to communicate more effectively withfarmers on the subject of drainage; and

(d) the Extension Service should collaborate with

the drainage maintenance units to be established

to assure farmers' support and participation.

Whatever you.could do in the Ministry of Agriculture to assist-

us in improving this situation would be appreciated.

In view of his interest, I am copying this letter to Mr. Elguindy,

Chairman of the EPAD.

Bilbarsia Control Program

1. On January 19th and 20th, meetings were held at IBRD to decidethe chemicals to use in the Bilharzia Control Program and to resolve allother matters regarding the program to connene in March, 1976. Those inattendance were Messrs. M. D. ffrench-Mullen, Paris Economides, Fenton B.Sands; Dr. G. Webbe, Consultant; and from the Egyptian Ministry of Health,Dr. Almotas Mobarak, Undersecretary, and Rg. Mohamed Hassan Olama.

2. On the basis of the data presented on the cost effectiveness ofusing Frescon and Bayluscide alone and in combination, it was agreed todrop the use of Frescon and continue the program using Bayluscide only(See Annex 1). In view of this decision, it will be necessary to order afurther 200 metric tons of Bayluscide at this time to retain the existingprice advantage, and to execute the proposed plan during 1976 and early1977. The estimated cost for molluscicides for the three years would beUS$8.5 million.

3. While the desirability of reducing the increments of appliedmeasures is recognised, (i.e. two complete applications of chemical to theproject area March-April, September-October, instead of three), it wasagreed by the Ministry of Health that the recommended annual regimen of3 applications be applied in 1976 and 1977 and that further appraisal ofthe situation would be carried out each year.

4. Dr. Mobarak agreed that while every attempt would be made toobtain complete coverage of 900,000 faddans from March/April onwards, thetreatment program for 1976 would be kept in strict perspective to availablelogistic facilities - transport being identified as a kay factor.

5. It was stated that the trained manpower and supervisory staffwere on board and at all of the control points (See Annex 2).

6. As previously reported, the collection of base-line data forepidemiological evaluation purposes is proceeding under the direction ofDr. R. M. lamnam. It was agreed that the collection of age - specific'prevalence' data for the purpose of establishing cohorts of 'negative'children for the assessment of 'incidence of infection' and of qualitycontrol of the examinations, be given the utmost priority.

7. As reported previously, Dr. $*if of the Tropical Medical ResearchInstitute, and consultant in hemotherapy to the project, is currentlyfollowing up treatments carried out using mtrifonate in the project area,in order to establish the organixation of delivery schedules and monitoring

Mr. K. D. ffrench-Mallen January 21, 1976

of side-sffect. in the different age-groups receiving treatment. It isanticipated that the results of these preliminary treatments will beavailable in the next two weeks for appraisal. Copies of the reportswith the evaluation, will be sent simultaneously to the Bank and toDr. Webb. by the Egyptian Ministry of Health. Assuming that the resultswill be positive, the Egyptian Ministry of Health will place the orderas required for metrifonate in mid-February (total cost circa US$0.26million).

a. During the discussions on molluscicides, the future possible useof "mollutox" in the project was again examined. Mr. ffreneh-Mullen statedthat the Bank's position regarding mollutox had not changed and that everyconsideration would be given to its future use if it is accorded WHO ap-proval in relation to technical quality and toxicology.

9. Consideration has been given to the proposed weed control programwhich will greatly enhance the application of mlluscicides in canals addrains. It is noted in the plas of operation that Magnacide (Acrolein)will be used on submerged weeds in chanala of bed-width between 2 and5 a. This compound is applied at 30 - 75 mg.1/hour under water. It burnsaquatic vegetation, is biocidal, is absorbed by organic matter and itsefficiency is reduced by turbidity. It is a strong irritant ad dangerousto handle; it is volatile and its stability is variable.

Dr. Webb* considers it imperative that close liaison be establishedbetween the Ministries of Irrigation and Health with regard to use of thecompound, in order that due warning is given and available precautionsapplied in all situatims where human water contact is likely to occurduring and immediately following applications.

10. Since the area upstream from Asyut Barrage to Dairut Barrage isan integral part of the region where the project is located and was notincluded in the original project, it was agreed that it should be givenconsideration in the Upper Egypt Drainage rI project. This area encompasses120,000 feddans and the estimated cost for treatment is US$0.85 million.The cost is included together with the cost overrun in Upper Egypt DrainageII project mentioned in paragraph 11 below.

11. The cost overruns are estimated to be US$5.0 million foreignexchange and US$3.0 local carrency (See A=wx 3).

12. A mare detailed asceount will follow.

Mr. M. D. ffknch-Mullen December 30, 1975

P.Economides

Establishment of a Pilot Drainage Scheme with PVC Pipes

1. I refer to the issues paper of the Upper Egypt Drainage II Projectand specifically to the recommendation of the appraisal mission for theestablishment of a pilot drainage scheme of some 10,000 feddans (4,000 ha)with PVC pipes.

2. The scope of such a pilot drainage scheme would be:

(a) to test the proposed method for the production of PVCcorrugated pipes in Egypt with imported raw material(resine powder);

(b) to test on a large scale the efficacy and output of thetile laying machines, using PVC pipes;

(c) to allow the EPAD staff and local contractors to gainexperience in the use of PVC pipes for tile drains;

(d) to study and find appropriate solutions for specifictechnical problems such as connection of PVC lateralswith concrete collectors, type of filter, selection oflateral's diameter, etc.;

(e) to test the drainage efficacy of the PVC pipes in com-parison with the cement pipes by:

(i) monitoring the decline rate of the water tableafter irrigation;

(ii) monitoring the discharge of individual tile drains;

(iii) measuring the crop yields;

(f) to find out the actual cost for tile drainage; and

(g) to study and find appropriate solution for the maintenanceproblem.

3. As two crop-years are required for the completion of the abovetestings and studies it is suggested that the pilot scheme be establishedimmediately in the area of Upper Egypt Drainage I Project (e.g. in

Mr. M. D. ffrench-Mullen -2- December 30, 1975

Minnieh Governorate). For this purpose the following are required:

(a) the import of a PVC pipe making installation withspare parts, (total cost US$400,000 approximately);

(b) the import of 32 tons of raw material for the pro-duction of the pipes in Egypt, (total cost US$320,000approximately); and

(c) the allocation by the Government of US$100,000 in localcurrency for sheds, electrical connection, electricity,labor, etc.

4. The required foreign exchange cost of US$720,000 could be coveredfrom the allocation of equipment of the Upper Egypt Drainage I Project andin particular from the allocation for tile making machines no more needed(items 15, 16 and 19 of Annex 12, page 1 of the appraisal report). Forthe laying of plastic pipes the existing tile laying machines will be used.

5. It is worth noting that several suppliers of PVC pipe makingmachines offered free technical assistance to Egypt for the training oflocal staff in the production and laying of PVC pipes.

6. With the proposed arrangement one whole year could be gained inthe establishment of the pilot drainage scheme and consequently a finaldecision could be made for the general use of plastic pipes for drainage asearly as the beginning of 1978. If the results are satisfactory and thereis no substantial cost increase, PVC plastic pipes could be used also inthe remaining area of the Upper Egypt Drainage I Project.

Ue of Tile Laying Machiaes from Nile Delta Drainage Prwoectin Areas of Upper Elapt Drain&ge I Project

1. 1 refer to letter No. 2359 from the Chairman of EPAD handed to soduring the recent supervision mission to Egypt.

2. During our supervision of the two projects in Egypt we noticedthat seven tile laying machines from the Wile Delta Drainage Project wereused in areas of the Upper Egypt Drainage I Project. The machies wereused by local centractors to whom were awarded arems in both Lower andUpper Egypt Draiaag. Projects.

3. EPAD has allowed the use of these machines in Upper Egypt becauseof the urgency of proceeding with tile drainage in sme particularly affectedareas and of the difficulty of executing the tile drainage by hand as laboris searce in Upper Egypt.

4. Because the area, where the tile laying machines are working belongto the Upper Egypt Drainage I Bank Project, the mission recombends that IDAagree to the Govermwat request for the use of the machine. in Upper Egyptas a temporary measure. The machines should be returned to lower Egypt asson as the procurement of the new machines for Upper Egypt, already awarded,has tahen place.

Procurement of Seven Additional Tile Laying Machinesfor the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt Drainage I Projects

1. I refer to letter No. 2358 from the Chairman of EPAD handed to meduring the recent supervision mission to Egypt.

2. ,'After the execution of the awarded contract 1 L & U, the totalnumber of tile laying machines in Nile Delta will be 35 and in Upper Egypt20. Assuming an average output of 350 km per year per machine, correspond-ing to 3,500 feddans, the possible rate of implementation will be 120,000feddans in Nile Delta and 70,000 feddans in Upper Egypt.' These rates arebelow the rates required for the scheduled completion of both projects in1979. (150,000 and 90,000 feddans respectively.) Therefore, the requestof EPAD for additional laying machines, four for Upper Egypt and three forNile Delta, is justified.

3. It is understood that the additional tile laying machines will bepurchased at the same price as those of the contract No. 1 L & U and fromthe same supplier. Provision was made in the contract for an increase of20% of the number of machines. Apparently the supplier agrees to this ex-tension of the contract.

4. The additional cost of US$565,000 required for the procurement ofthe seven additional machines can be covered by the existing allocationfor equipment in both projects (e.g., contingencies in Nile Delta project,tile making machines not required in Upper Egypt).

5. In view of the above the supervision mission recommends that IDAagree to the Government request.

Dear Dr. Mobarsk:

First, may I express my thanks for the courtesy and cooperationextended by you and your staff to Dr. Webb* and Dr. Sands an their recentvisit in regard to the lilharzin Control Program.

As you know, we are concerned about the mellscicides to be usedin the project area next year. It is my understanding that the data onthe second survey regarding the cost effectiveness of Frescon sad Bayluscidewill be ready around the first of January 1976. It is expected that tendays to two weeks would be required to analyse the data.

With the above in mind, I would like to suggest that your inistrymay wish to have you visit Washington on January 19 - 20th to review thedata with us, and to discuss the findings of the surveys, following whichwe should be able to decide on the chemicals or chemical to be used in theproject area. This would enable orders for the chemicals or chemicalto be placed immediately, which could reduce the unit cost (since pricesare rising rapidly) and make it possible for the chemicals to be deliveredin time for the progaam to proceed as planned in March 1976. Time is ofgreat importance at this stage and, consequently, I believe this meetingwould be the most expeditious way to handle the revidw of the Bilharxiasurveys.

We suggest these particular dates because, if they are convenientto you, Dr. Webbe could be present for the meeting in Washington.

I should appreciate a cabled response to this proposal and lookforward to meeting you in January, should this prove possible, as we hopeit ill.

With kind regards.

Yours SiWAeely,

Dear Q

I am enclosing herewith the r*Sort ofmy recent mission to Egypt which I think fullycovers events during the past three months and thepresent status of affairs in the project. I amof course hoping to discuss these matters with youpersonally in London on November 24th. There arehowever certain recommendations, particularly withregard to organisational matters and the plan ofoperations which I think the mission underMr. Echonomides should emphasize to the Ministryof Health during their visit in November/December.

With best wishes.

Preliminary Discussions

On October 26th I was contacted by the Executive Director of the Project,

Dr. Zamaity, who informed me that he was leaving for China thenext day and

that his duties were bein taken over by the Permanent Under Secretary,

Dr. A. Mobarak. Preliminary discussions were held with the Project Engineer

and with the Bilharzia Advisory Committee on October 26th-27th prior to the

commencement of field operations in Minya on October 28th. No complete data

were available at this time for the July applications of either Bayluscide or

Frescon, but I was informed that we could obtain them in the field at LKinya.

It was apparent however that the July operations were not completed because

of inadequate transport facilities. It was reported that the medical

authorities at Minya took over the available snail-control transport for other

purposes before operations were completed. The project engineer left on a

WHO training course at that time.

As the result of the discussions held with the Project Engineer on

October 26th, I made immediate representations to the Permanent Under Secretary

re-arding the transport situation, particularly since the inistry had claimed

the capability to mount the 3ayluscide and 2rescon operations simultaneously

in July. As a result of our discussions four pick-ups were ordered from

the Fayoum Governorate project for temporary work in Minya, and two new vehicles

were purchased locally. These vehicles arrived in the project area on

October 29th. It was of course pointed out by the Permanent Under S4cretary

that the transport situation would be satisfactory only when all the project

vehicles ordered through the i1inistry of Irrigation were'available.

I expressed concern about the management of transport and the role of project

staff in relation to Governorate staff in field activities.

The meeting of the Bilharzia Advisory Committee held in Cairo on

October 27th was attended by Shell International personnel at the invitation

of the Ministry. The main topic of discussion was the Frescon application in

-3-

the Sirry branch of the Ibrahimir, which coimenced on July 1st in the first

high rotation sector. It was stated that snails were found in the main canal

within two weeks of the application, and in the other two high rotation sectors

within one month. No data were available at this time for branch canals. The

Committee considered that the Frescon treatment had been unsatisfactory because

what is referred to as 'negativity', failure to detect snails using the routine

sampling technique, was not achieved in the main canal within an acceptable

period. The Shell representatives pointed out that their approach was to

obtain maximum snail control at a reasonable cost, and that the snails detected

in the main canal may have been swept in from the Ibrahimir. This was rejected

by the committee and a request made that the applied concentrations of Frescon

be'increased in the forthcoming trials. It was agreed that this would be done

and that Shell personnel would remain in the field for the duration of application

and subsequent chemical and bioassay assessments. It was revealed that the

tails of only 11 out of 197 tertiary branches of the Sirry canal were sprayed

in the July operation because of inadequate transport and that no drains were

sprayed.

The committee expressed concern at my recommendation that the concentration

of Bayluscide applied in the Bahr Yusef trials should be reduced below 2 ppm

at Minchat Al Dahab in order to optimize costs (1.2 ppm having been detected

in a tertiary canal at a distance of 48 km from the point of application and

within 30 hours of its commencement). It was stated that 0.5 ppm Bayluscide

was not adequate under field conditions and that a high initial concentration

is required to ensure carriage to the extremities of the system. It was agreed

to re-examine this question in the field when water duty information was available.

Field Operations

On October 25th a visit was made to Minchat El Haag where an application

of Bayluscide was made to the Bahr Yusef canal - being the second of two annual

blanket applications for the purpose of snail control in Fayoum Governorate.

-4-

Chemical was applied to the main canal at 2 ppm for 8 hours by means of four

Unimog motorized units. The application was witnessed by a large party from

the International Contress of Schistosomiasis including the Minister of Health.

The application was impressive and was efficiently carried out.

Ten main canals with a command of some 30,900 feddans within the I.D.A.

project area situated in Beni Suef are in fact treated from this application

point which is used to treat the entire Fayoum area of 345,000 feddans.

Bayluscide application

As previously reported, treatment of 245,000 feddans coirianded by the

Bahr Yusef canal commenced in March 1975 and was repeated in July 1975.

Bayluscide was first applied at Minchat Al Dahab at 2 ppm for 8 hours using

Unimog motorized units. In July the application again commenced at this point

using the 'Cyna M6' pump which was also previously described. Subs quently

other main branch canals of the Bahr Yusef were treated by dispensin. cheraizal

from simple 45 gallon drum dispensers and by spraying the last 500 metres of

tertiary canals, field drains and main collector drains. Spraying operations

were seen in tertiary canals and in a field drain 31 km below Minchat Al Dahab

in July.

It was reported that all dispensing operations and spraing for the July

application were carried out in the Bahr Yusef sector with the exception of

306 km of main drains and 78 field drains. These were omitted because of lack

of transport and inadequate coordination of equipment and materials.

Assessment of this work was carried out by routine snail sampling before

and after treatment (3 scoops with a dip net every 20 metres). Before the

molluscicide application in March it was reported that 20 snails were found

in every 100 dips in the primary, secondary and tertiary canals, with far

higer densitles ii the field drains. Following the mollusciciding no snails

-5-

were detected in any irrigation canals during the period 27th March to 17th May.

Snails were then found in primary and secondary branch canals at a density of

3 per 100 dips. No snails had been detected however in any tertiary canals

or in any of the treated drains when the July operations coanenced. Sampling

in the main Minchat Al Dahab canal showed that following the application of

molluscicide in March the snail density remained below 10 per cent of the

pre-tr-atment count until June. Following the application in July a similar

level of control was achieved until October. The results obtained in primary

and secondary branch canals show that they were apparently free of snails

during the period after the July treatment until October. No snails have been

recorded in some canals to date. Sampling data were not available for the drains.

An application of Bayluscide was again made at Minchat Al Dahab on

October 28th using the tCyna M6'. Professor Nassif of the Faculty of Engineering,

Cairo University, was present throughout the application to monitor the

performance of this appliance. He has been responsible for several modifications

including improvements in the mixing chamber. He reported that the machine was

working well and that he proposed to assist in designin3 an improved feeding

hopper.

Folloiin- previous discussions and taking the data available on site

on dischar-e and water duty into account, a concentration of 1.8 ppmawas

applicd during the 8 hour period. The calculated quantity of chemical was

checked and found to be correct. Chemical analyses of water samples were

carried out at varying distances below the point of application to check

the progress of the chemical wave.

Dr. Hans 15atthaei, of Bayer AG, Leverkusen, was present during the field

operations at the invitation of the Permanent Under Secretary who was also

present on all the field visits.

Comment

The treatment of the Bahr Yusef sector with Baylscide, which commenced

in March, has been apparently very successful and a large measure of snail

control aclieved in the irrigation system following each application for periods

of two to three months. As already mentioned the applied concentrations were

high and evegy attempt must be made to optimize the dosage levels. Satisfactory

control was apparently obtained in the drainage system which was treated, but

complete coverage was not obtained. Treatment of all the collector drains must

be madeand improved coordination of dispensing and spraying achieved. The

records of sampling data should be collated and maintained for all sectors of

the irrigation and drainage systems by the engineer in charge of the project.

Collection of these data from field personnel in an ad hoc manner in the field

is unsatisfactory. They are all written in Arabic and cannot be satisfactorily

translated and scrutinised in a limited period.

Frescon Application

As already stated the application of Frescon to the Sirry Canal in July

was completed during a period of 15 days by dispensing chemical at the head

od three 5-day high rotation sectors, at 0.06 ppm, 0.085 ppm and 0.075 ppm,

respectively. (See attached Shell Report). The chemical analyses carried out

showed that the estimated reauirod minimum concentration of 0.02 ppm was

generally achieved, although a concentration of 0,0125 ppm was reco'ded at

61.5 km on July 4th. The applied concentrations were calculated in

accordance with available dischar_-e and flow rate data to give the most

cost-effective performance.

The results obtained suggest that the half-life of Frtscon in some parts

of the irrigation system was below the expected 30 hours. This may have been

due in part to faulty mixing of chemical or fluctuations in the water duty

during the 5-day high rotation periods. Sampling data show that snails were

found in the main canal within two weeks of treatment in the first sector and

4-5 weeks after the applications in the other sectors. Sampling data show that

reductions in snail numbers of 77%, 83% and 74.5% were obtained in primary,

secondary and tertiary branch canals, following the application. Sampling

took place one and two weeks after treatment and then one month later in main

and all branch canals. Application of chemical in the first sector missed some.

20 hours of the high rotation and treatment of this system is therefore regarded

as lasting 4j and not 5 full days. Only 11 of the 197 branch canals were

sprayed as originally agreed.

In view of the relatively unsatisfactory results apparently obtained by

the July ap lication of Frescon it was decided to increase the applied

concentration to 0.1 ppm in each high rotation 5-day period. Information

from the Ministry of Irrigation indicated that the rotation would begin on

the morning of October 29th. VWhen personnel arrived on site it was found that

the rotation had been started on the afternoon of October 28th. It was however

agreed with the inistry of Irrigation to contirue the rotation for one extra

day. The Shell representative decided to apply 0.15 ppm to the system and

thus ensure adequate carriage of chemical and kill of snails in all canals in

the system. This concentration is still within the estimate based upon the

original ShellAinistry of Health trials carried out in 50,000 feddans in Giza,

but it is probably higher than will be required to kill snails if the rotation

is open as predicted and active chemical reaches all branch canals. Chemical

analysis performed one hour after treatment conumenc4d confirmed that the correct

estimated dosage waa being ap,.lied.

At the rou.nd-up meetin; w;ith the Bilharzia Advisory Cormnittee held in

Cairo on October 30th, it ws requested by the comrnittee that full evaluation

of an 'all Tr,scon' application be obtained and that the tail ends (last 500------ -

metres) of all tertiary canals be sprayed with Frescon. This decision was

immediately transmitted to the field personnel.

Comment

A large measure of snail control was achieved by the July application of

Frescon, but the appearance of snails such a short time after treatment is

very unsatisfactory and the results obtained in the branch canals indicate

that the applied concentrations were inadequate. Shell personnel expressed

doubt about the validity of the sampling results. The snail counts, initially

communicated following sampling before and after treatment, indicated that a

96.3: kill was achieved in the main canal. The project staff then stated that

sampling carried out after treatment had not been 'cantitative and was abandoned

when snails were found after application. This is inconsistent with the

previously agreed sampling procedures which have been restated in writing

for the present evaluation. Chemical esti;ations were not carried out in branch

canals in the second or third rotations and the overall evaluation of the total

application of Prescon must be regarded as unsatisfactory. Since only eleven

canals wem sprayed with chemical and none of the drainage sprayed in the Sirry

system, a complete cost-effectiveness comparison between the Bahr Yusef and

Sirry Canal sectors cannot be made in relation to the July applications.

The available data indicate however that better overall control was

obtained in the Bahr Yusef area and -for a longer duration using Bayluscide,

than in the Sirry canal area using Frescon.

Epidediolo.Y

The collection of base-line data continues for the full evaluation of

control measures in the project area. A mass survey has been completed in the

west Bahr Yusef area, and f om the examination of 90,000 peo.le there an overall

prevalence rate of 35.9% waE obtained. Examination of 63,072 children aged

six years old in the project area gave a prevalence rate of 47.C9. Surveys in

the Minya area show how pruvalence rates vary from village to village, ranging

from 16.7< to 57.4,!. Initial crude estimates of 'incidence' of infection show

that these are highest in the scond decade of life, < 20 years 59.5%, and

lowest in older age groups - 24.6%. Children also have high rates of 'incidence',

ID.4 K and K 10 years 46.5>.

Dr. H.M. Hammam (Assiut University) was present at all meetings held in

Cairo and in the field during the mission's visit. He has now assumed direct

supervision of the collection of age-specific data for the purpose of

establishing cohorts of 'negative' children for the assessment of incidence of

infection and of quality controls of the examinations. Dr. Hammam is also

setting up special study areas for 'water contact' studies which may assist

the delivery of specific focal control measures. Satisfactory progress is being

made in the general descriptive epidemiology of the project area and in the

collection of base-line data for evaluation purposes.

Chemotherapy

Discussions held with Dr. Seif, Director of the Institute of Tropical

Medicine, andDr. Mobarak confirmed those which wereheld in July during which

it was stated that a decision had been reached to use Bilarcil (metrifonae)

instead of Ambilhar (niridazole) in the project ar a, to improve the general

delivery of chemotherapy. The original appraisal called for I.D.A. funding

of 207,000 courses of Ambilhar which would currently cost 0.24m US . The use

of metrifonate will mean that all infected people in the project area can be

treated with this highly efficient oral compound because of its relatively low

cost (approximately 1,100,000 at cost circa 0.22m US$). Metrifonate is

considered to be the drug of choice on the basis of its cost-effectiveness

and has the approval of WHi.

Dr. Seif holds enouc'h drug aixx# to deliver some 100,000 courses of

treatment (already purchased with other funds) and propos-s to use it later

this year in the area of the Bahr Yusef canal which has received substantial

snail control since Larch of this year. This will enable the organisation of

delivery mechanisms to be developed. Dr. Seif will monitor cholinesterase

levels in the-population as previously discussed and recommended and will ensure

that large scale treatments in the project area are co.nfined to periods when

crop spraying using other organo-phosphorous pesticides is not taking place.

Comment

There has now been conside-able experience with the use of metrifonate, whichhas proved highly efficient in the treatment of Schistosoma haematobium.Dr. Seif has already treated a large number of cases with the compound andits delivery in the project area when snail control is established shouldprove highly efficacious.

Plan of Operations

Since July of this year little progress has been made towards developingan overall plan of operations. Spraying operations in the3ahr Yusef sectorwere not completed and none took .lace in the drainage system of the Sirry canal.

All operations which were done were unnecessarily protracted -,ecause of lackof transport. The organisation of the snail control units a,:ears to besatisfactory under the overall direction of Engineer Hassan Olama, but theBilharzia Control Project appears to oe subordinate to Governorate medicalauthorities. Clearly the project must integrate as far as possible with the

Governorate health services buu it must also retain a separate identity andauthority wiith regard to disposition and usage of personnel, transport

);equipment and materials.

Comment

Once a:ain it was emphasised that the disposition of aterial, equipment

and transport must now be or anised and a 'complete activities' scheduledrawn up within a feasible time-scale for each phase of ope-ations in thetotal project area.

In later discussions with the Permanent Under Secretary and BilharziaAdvisory Committee these matters were again raised and Dr. Mobarak said thatwhile the project should retain a central authority and identity it was necessar

to integrate it with governorate personnel and establish its role and activityin the field and not in Cairo. This is of course very necessary and provided

that governorate authority is kept in perspective it is essential that the

project be established in the area of control activity.

Plans were seen for the project headquarters now being developed in Min.a,

which include offices, laboratory, stores, vehicle housing and maintenance

(cost approximately EP 30,000, paid by the Ministry of Health).

Until now project activities have depended upon borrowed transport with

no clear disposition of equipment and materials. It should be possible to give

it a real identity when adequate transport is available and a full activity

schedule is developed. It must not however be subject to interference by

other Ministry officials whose sole interest is to commandeer its transport,

and project staff must be given the necessary authority to resist this.

Procurements

A visit was paid to the Ministry of Irrigation together with Dr. Lobarak

and Engineer Olama. Engineer Osman Elghamy confirmed that orders for the

project vehicles had been placed and that the 11inistry of Health would receive

some from the first batch expected within two months. As previously stated,

it is intended to purchase locally manufactured motorized sprayers, bicycles

and motor-cycles for use in the project area.

Comment

The purchase of locally available spraying equipment and transport was

urged in July since spraying is clearly a problem and communications a vital

issue. The delay in executing these procurements is not uAderstood.

Weed Control Pro:ramme

Engineer Elghamy confirmed the progr,.ss made in organising. te. programme.

Clearly it will complement the snail control programme in the project area

and is a timely addition to the overall effort. The efficacy of molluscicidal

applications in drains and canals will be greatly enhanced by weod removal,

- 12 -

and snail populations may be drastically reduced in some places by these

procedures which involve use of herbicides with molluscicidal properties.

Some discussion also took place about the proposed appraisal next year

of a further drainage programme in Upper Egypt. The Permanent Under Secretary

of Health expressed keen interest in having a bilharzia control component in

this programme - a view which was subsequently endorsed by the Bilharzia

Advisory Committee.

Round-up Meeting - Cairo

At the meeting I summarised the status of the control efforts to date

using Bayluscide andFrescon, and emphasised the shortcomings of the snail

sampling data collection, data recording and chemical estimations. I also

drew attention to the incomplete mollusciciding of canals and drainage,

particularly in relation to applications of Frescon, which makes any

cost-effective comparison difficult. Members of the committee again

highlighted the difficulties which may be encountered in applying Frescon for

prolonged periods when irrigation practices might chan.e, compared with an

8-hour application of Bayluscide. Criticisms were also raised about the

chemical estimation of the compound and the two-stage process needed to

determine active compound. A somewhat prejudiced atmosphere prevailed in-lavour

of using Bayluscide only, although Dr. Mobarak maintained that the present

trials must be properly executed and evaluated.

The failure to develop a plan of operations for the900,000 feddans was

discussed and I emphasised that an early attempt must be made to produce a

time-scale of all activities. The answer was of course that this will be

difficult until adequale transport is available. The question of authority

for all project transport movements was also discussed and an assurance given

that there would be no future problems.

- 13 -

Dr. Mobarak expressed the hope that the present trials would facilitate

a decision about the choice of chemicals to de used and that the project could

begin properly in March. The Permanent Under Secretary also expressed keen

interest in the proposed new drainage programme in Upper Dgypt and the incorpor-

ation of a bilharzi~control component since this, coupled with the existing

control project area and the control work in Fayoum, could form the basis of

a national control programme. Dr. Hammam was asked to provide data which are

available at Assiut on morbidity in relation to S. haematobium prevalence and

particularly bladder cancer.

General appreciation

The available data show that a large measure of good snail control has

been achieved since March in the sector of the project area commanded by the

Bahr Yusef canal although complete coverage of all drainage was not achieved.

The data suggest that it might be possible to consider dropping the July

application in this sector if Bayluscide alone was used, since only small

numbers of snails were foudnd prior to the July application. Rapid build-up

of snail numbers might however occur and one must also consider the relative

insensitivity of the sampling procedures.

The results of the July Prescon application in the Sirry canal branch

of the Ibrahimir canal are disappointing. The relatively complicated rotation

system involving three high rotation periods each of 5 days should however

be best covered by continuous input of a molluscicide in order to achieve

penetration of all bianch canals, unlike Minchat Al Dahab on the Bahr Yusef

which is based upon one rotation. A chemical wave of 8 hours duration would

be unlikely to achieve penetration of all branch canals in thi Sirry unless

all branches areopened simultaneously for the time taken for the chemical wave

to penetrate to the furthermost tertiary. Clearly thereis strong motivation

to use Bayluscide in the programme and this is to some extent linked with the

+nf Mollutox. The Permanent Under Secretary raised the

question of obtaining WHO approval for Mollutox and stated that it would be

used elsewhere in Egypt.

A decision about the use of the respective molluscicides cannot be reached

until adequate evaluation of the current treatment of the Sirry canal is

completed - snail sampling data should be available by mid-December but full

follow-up studies will take another month.

The costs of the molluscicides have not changed since July: the cost of

the Bayluscide only regimen 300 metric tons = circa 3.7m USX annually;

a Frescon only regimen remains at 1.9m USV annually; and a combined Frescon-

Bayluscide regimen at circa 2.8m USX annually. It is unlikely that these

prices will be maintained although Bayer Co. have undertaken to sup cly a

further 100 metric tons at the current price of 28.25DM per kg. Shell Co.

made no statement about any chan-e but would give no un:ertaking on mair.taining

the present position of 22 stg/kilo. Early orders should be placed if

adequate supplies are to be available during 1976.

In making a final decision about the chemicals to be used in the project

it should be remembered that although data may show that a comn und is highly

cost-effective if properly applied, it may prove to be far less cost-effective

if The requisite technology is not applied or, more important, sustained.

The total inadequacy of available transp-rt in the project resultea in

the failure to complete the July aplications in the Bahr Yusef and Ibrahimir

sectors. Nevertheless the work carried out to date has provided inv&luable

experience for project staff. In 1976 adequate logistic support will be

available and there is no reason why complete coverage of The system cannot be

achieved, although much remaihs to be done before March.

The quality of 1.101I en.,ineering staff in the project is very variable

and n r' & Eniinoer 014tma shx,1d be found immediately in order

15-

to ensure continuous overall supervision in all sectors.

The epidemiological evaluation of the project is proceeding satisfactorily

but will require constant supervision and adequate quality controls.

The organisation of the programme of improved delivery of chemotherapy

appears to be proceeding well and should complement the snail control

programme with considerable impact.

It is clear that there are internal IM conflicts concerning the

respective authority of control project staff and iovernorate personnel.

The Executive Director of the project must exercise full authority for all

personnel, materials, equipment and transport within the project. In turn,

the central project staff must regard the project area as headquarters - and

not Cairo.

While many issues raised during the current appraisal suggest that little

organisational progress has been made, the chronic shortage of transport

throughout the operations underlies most of the problems. More initiative

could have been shown by the Project Director however in securing local

transport and controlling what was available. Despite many negative factors

I consider that there are a sufficient number of positive ones to warrant

continued support of the full operational contrzlprogramme during 1976.

It will however be necessary to give the programme continued regular appraisal.

Recom::aendations

1. That all current molluscicidal applications are evaluated by systematic

snail sampling in main, primary, secondary and tertiary canals - before

and following applications.

2. That sampling should also be carried out in a representative number of

f ij#.- 1 "1 A 10 nlI I o'tor d rt- in q

- 16-

3. That numbers of snails be expressed as "number of snails found per

100 dips", or as "total number of snails and total sampling stations

covered per habitat".

4. That complete chemical analyses be made in all branches of the system

during chemical applications and for adequate periods afteraards.

5. That spraying operations be carefully coordinated with dispensing

operations in irrigation channels.

6. That immediate attention is given to the technology of treating large

collector drains, particularly by dispensing where adequate flow of

water occurs.

ISMAIL SIRRY CANAL - FRESCON TREATMENT JULY 1975

Introduction

Following a preliminary survey it was decided to recommend to theEgyptian Minist-ry of Health that the Sirry Canal should be treatedin three phases to correspond with the three rotational irrigationsystem, which operates over the 117 Km length of the canal.

The area irrigated from the Sirry system is approximately 108,000feddans, which supports 0.5 million people.

The prevalence of bilharzia in this area is said to be above 50%,may be as high as 70%.

(A) First Application: Head of Sirry Canal

Date : 1st July 1975 (irrigation rotation opened 30th June18.00 hrs.)

Discharge : 3.6 million M3

Flow Rate : 2.5 Km/hr

ApplicationConcentration: 0.06 ppm at 864 ml/min.

Method : One dispenser coupled to six drums on drum cradles.

Frescon 16.5% EC used. 50 x 112 litres 5,600I litres in 4.5 days.

Water Samples. Water samples were taken from Sirry system:

(a) 3 July' 50 Km (1.7 Km/hr) - 0.025 ppm NTM

(b) 4 July 61.5 Km (0.5 Km/hr) - 0.0125 ppm NTM

(c) 5 July Berba main drain - passed to MOH for analysis

(d) 5 July Morsi branch but appears they did notcomplete

(e) 7 July 67.0 Km - 0.035 ppm NTM

(f) 7 July 60.0 Km Zuhmi Branch - 0.020 ppm NTM

(B) Second Application: Km 30

Date 5th July 1975 (irrigation 2nd rotation opened 5th July17.00 hrs.)

Discharge 1.0 million M3

Flow Rate 1.7 Km/hr

ApplicntionConcentration: 0.075 ppm at - 350 ml/min.

- 300 ml/min.

Method One dispenser, coupled to six drums on drum cradles.

F 2 . Approxizaely 20 drum--.

-2-

(C) Third Application: Km 60 (This treatment was not witnessed).

Date : Due to start 10th July p.m.

Discharge : 0.8 million M3 (est.)

Flow Rate : 1.5 Km/hr (est.)

ApplicationConcentration: 0.085 ppm

Method : One dispenser

Frescon E.C. used. Estimated 10 drums.

(D) Tail End Spraying:

Frescon E.C. should be applied through Hudson "X pert" 4 AGpressurised Knapsack Sprayers filled to 10 litres. (2 litres

Frescon E.C. to 8 litres water). One fill treats approximately

100 m run of canal. -Incorrect nozzles used at start of spraying -

Ministry of Health to correct.

Training

A two day course of instruction was given to approximately eight

senior staff of the M.O.H, as follows:

Eng. Loutfi Nashed Saleh - Director. Bilharzia Control Section

Eng. Samir Ibrahim Tadros - Director. Bilharzia Control Section

Eng. Alphonse Wolsley Helmy - Assistant Director. B.C.S. Beni-Suef

Eng. Laila Helmy - B.C.S. Beni-Suef. Assistant

Eng. Helmy Hakim Barsoum - B.C.S. Beni-Suef. Inspector

Eng. Ezzat Azziz Rizkallah - B.C.S. Benimazar. Inspector

Eng. Ahmad Khalifa - B.C.S. Eloudwa. Inspector

Dr. Mohamed Shafie - Minia City Assistant (part-time)

Field Aspects and Appreciation

The Egyptian field staff were quick to appreciate the ease of

application with Frescon once the treatment was demonstrated on site.

Compared with "Bayluscide" treatments where a Unimog or other equipment

is required for mixing the formulation and, therefore, forms a major

capital cost in the application of Niclosamide, Frescon is relatively

inexpensive in equipment costs and manpower. Labour used to set up the

Frescon dispenser was four plus a field supervisor. (Bayluscide - 40

labourers plus supervision). The respective costs of chemical can be

calculated.

The flexibility' of Frescon was demonstrated at the first application

point whereby application at 0.06 ppm it was possible to achieve lethal

concentrations to Bulinus spp. at the 50 Km mark; the result of water

sample analysis showed that 0.025 ppm N-tritylmorpholine was present in

the main canal at 50 Km.

The M.O.H. appear to be short of transport in the Minya area anddelivery of drums to treatment sites is a problem.

Post treatment assessment of snail populations will start atone week after treatment and be repeated at two weeks and one monthin both the Sirry and branch canals. Since no tail end spraying wasundertaken in the first rotation at time of treatment this should betaken into account in the assessment figures.

No problems were encountered in the use of the field analyticalkit and an arabic version of the instructions to complete the methodhas been provided to all persons under training. Storage of Bayluscide,it appears, may be difficult whereas Frescon E.C. stored in drums willbe stable for at least three years, and probably a much longer period.

Future use of Frescon in Middle Egypt is likely to depend on thebiological effectiveness of the compound to Bulinus spp. and its easeof application compared to the competitive products. On a cost basisFrescon appears to be more attractive to the customer (M.O.H.) thanthe Bayer compound. With Shell's good manufacturing position we shouldbe well placed to meet future demand quickly and on a competitive basis.

The Shell representatives involved in the product support exercisewere:

Mr. M.O. Lane - CAMK/219 SICCDr. A.P. Warley - CAMK/33 SICCDr. J. Osgerby - Shell Research Ltd.

World Bank Project Adviser

Dr. Webbe (IBRD) adviser visited Minia during the Frescon application.In discussions, after viewing a treatment site, with M.O.H. personnel,Misr. and Shell representatives it was agreed that:

(a) July Frescon treatment would include spraying of tail ends withFrescon.

(b) September treatment - tail ends would be sprayed with Bayluscide,as originally recommended by IBRD.

Shell advised the meeting that if given the synoptic data of theirrigation systems of Upper and Middle Egypt that by systems analysis itwould be possible to optimise the application of molluscide and arrive atthe most economic regime for treatment. On a preliminary study the ratioof costs of chemical indicated that aerial treatment appeared to be themost attractive possibility. However, this view was based on verylimited information.

Treatment of drains remains a problem although Frescon can be usedin flowing drains or sprayed at 1.0 ppm in static heavily weed infesteddrains.

The IBRD project is scheduled to start in 1976 over 900,000 feddans(irrigated area) and to run for three years.

OFFICE MEMORANDUMTO: FILES DATE: October 31, 1975

FROM: M. Altaf Hussa n, Acting ChiefAgriculture and Ruril Development

SUBJECT: EGYPT - Yellow Cover Agricultural Sector ReportReview Meeting on October 29, 1975

1. The Yellow Cover Report meeting on subject report was held onOctober 29 from 2:30 to 4:45pm in Room A-730. Mr. Haynes chaired themeeting attended by: Messrs. Hussain, Brown, Meo, Lachman, Donaldson,Aiyer and Ikram.

2. The following consensus was reached on further work before puttingthis report into Green Cover.

a) The institutional framework in Egypt is weak and should, therefore,be flagged in the report. A specific recommendation should be added forsetting up of a Technical Committee with its membership drawn from theMinistries dealing with the agriculture sector to coordinate agriculturepolicy,follow-up project identification and preparation. This committeewould generally follow the pattern of the Technical Secretariate establishedin the Prime Minister's office to coordinate economic policy.

b) The per acre yields of crops in different countries have beencompared in both text and annexes. Some of the countries because ofecological differences are not comparable. These tables should carefullybe checked so that only valid comparisons are left to support the conclusionsdrawn in the report. 9be text should also be appropriately revised. Statisticsin Tables 5.1 and 31i're not exactly the same. The reasons being that theyhave been obtained from different sources. A footnote should be addedto explain the reason for the difference.

c) The report discusses three alternatives for further sectordevelopment. Their presentation should be so modified as to illustratethree different approaches rather than one being better than the other.

d) The Annex 1, which was circulated with the report, should beplaced on Bank files for use at the time of CPP meetings.

His ExcellencyDr. Zaki ShafeiMinister of Economy and

Economic Cooperation8 Adly Pasha StreetCairoArab Republic of Egypt

Dear Dr. Sbafei:

The Information and Public Affairs Department of the WorldBank has the function of attempting to foster knowledge of the Bank'saims and activities. To this end, it is constantly seeking to obtainmaterial of interest concerning individual Bank projects. As our work

iare.of torldwideinterest, ou n ainent would li'ke t- mountof these-missions

would be by a writer, and the other by a photographer: the proposals are

-. h l i paragraph-S:--

As you may know, most IDA funds are received as donations fromthe Bank's more industrialized members. Every three years, these fundsmust be replenished. It is in the hope of affecting favorably the climateof public understanding about IDA, and of helpirg uphold the public willin the industrialized countries to continue IDA's replenishment, that thesemissions are being planned.

Two IDA-assisted projects- of particular interest are the NileDelta Drainage Project (of April 1970, for which a $36 million credit wasM~ 4 a vcj P QJger Fyt .ainge Pr-oj -(of June 1973, with an IDA credit

- $36 million). As you know, Egypt's drainage program is unique in itssize, scope and importance. No other country has undertaken a program sobasic to the productivity of its agriculture sector, and with such widespreadeffects on the well-being of its- rural population. Also the schistosomiasiscontrol program being financed-under the Upper Egypt Project will be far-reaching in its benefits, and in its scale marks an innovation in World Bank

Ir. Zaki Shafei - 2 - October 8, 1975

health activities. Thus a story written by a skilled writer on these

projects would, we believe, be of great interest to audiences in manycountries. To this end, we would hope that you might receive with favor

a visit to Egypt by Peter Muncie, a writer in the Information Departmentof the Bank.

Mr. Muncie would like to visit Egypt for the week of November 28-

December 5 to gather materials -- mostly through interviews -- on the two

projects. The stories he plans to write would mainly concern the effects

of the drainage program on the farmers of the two areas -- the Delta and

- the Upper Nile. In the latter project, he would be specially interestedin the work to control schistosomiasis.

He would propose to visit the work in progress in the Delta and

in Upper Egypt and to interview farmers affected by the program there; totalk to local health officials working in the Upper Nile area and tofarmers there in connection with the bilharzia control program.

If you agree that this would be desirable, Mr. Muncie will writedirectly to you explaining in detail his proposed story outline and require-

ments.

Ph6tography Mission

-From time to time the Ba ri'anges f r p hoVographers to visit

zember countries and photograph activity geherated by projects with whichthe Bank has bee associated. T e photo-rhs, axrost all of them in

35 :mn color sil s,, are th.en auc~ -" t ~ ~i.evaiety, ol.. uis cvexr a great vasy year.3,

6m r la.- -photographs-armapiaqkaged'iUttaofe. &f;oeiamasaaapeople, places, etc. These might take the form of a slide lecture or a

slide show, depending on the information objectives. They are also utilizedin the Bank's publications program and are made available widely to other

pblishers in all forms of newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, textbooks, etc.

In all such cases the photographs are credited to the Bank and to thecountry and thus serve as a valuable information effort in promoting the

cause of development.

In this instance, the Bank would propose to send a photographer,Mr. Ray Witlin, to spend about a week or ten days in Egypt. Mr. Witlin is

n American free-lance photographer, who has undertaken- a great number of' ailar missions for the Bank in over 20 different-cvuntries in as many

years. We suggest that he be asked to concentrate his attention on such

projects as the drainage activity in Upper Egypt and the Nile Delta, thecotton ginning rehabilitation project, the Suez Canal and possibly others.

Mr. Witlin's approach would be positive in that he would'be docu-

menting progress in dealing with development problems and he would be mainly

concerned with projects which have a direct impact on people as against

Dr. Zaki Shafei - 3 - October 8, 1975

simply photographing factories or fields. He would be interested in makingcertain record-type photographs of project installations but most of histime would be utilized in attempting to interpret progress and activity asexperienced by the people directly concerned.

If the Government of Egypt sees !it to respond favorably to thisrequest, it would involve the necessity of arranging for Mr. Witlin to travelwithin Egypt to the locations required, accompanied as appropriate byEgyptian officials. Mr. Witlin would be working on a direct cominssionfrom the Bank and, in that sense, would be acting for the Bank during isstay in the country. He woulc., of course, be thoroughly briefed prior todeparture about details of the various projects.

1 . Your disosion of the German Schistoseowasis Contral Pzrojeet inFaye= (paras. 12 and 13) ontains an implied criticism of the Bank' s UpperFypt Drainage Project for failing to prevent reinfestation of the FayomAra*

2. I would point out that the 7ayoum Area is not contiguous with thearea to be treated with molluscisides under the Jank proect. frthemere,*hle control achieved under the Bak's pro4ect would, it v hopd, geentcontral in Fayoum, it has alwqa been our view that ouutrol meures inFayum would need to be continued though possibly less intensively. TheBank has never conteqlated taking any responsibility for control in Fa7,um.The possibility of treating the Thrabiaa and Bahr Ioussef Canals wasconsidered at the time of appraisal but the mission then considered that:

(a) the size, depth and relativelyrwid flown in the two canale uouldnot be oondaive to heavy snail infestations and that no evidencewas available to muport the contention that rapid reinfestationof the canal mystes from thwe sources would occur; and

(b) the oosts of treating the large volumes of water mld beprohibitive.

3. It was therefore decided not to treat the two canals under thepoject and no new evidence has been forthamving which would lead us toreonsider this decision.

4. The isse wis also raised by the Office of the kecutive Direstorfor ermany early this year and copies of arrespondence *t that time arattached*

5. MNqy I suggest that before Nture meetings with other agmcies andorganisations, at which Bank prajects may be discussed, you obtain a briefingfrow the staff responsible for the projeets in order to avoid any misunderstandings.

2. The inister summarized recent developments on the economic frontraepor-d earlier in Mr. Asfsourls memorandum of August 7, 1975. As a resultof borrowings from Saudi Arabia ($6o0 million), Kuwait ($500 million), andQatar (i100 million), Li'gypt has been able to wipe out arrears in debt re-payments. The Government expects to reduce short-term debt outstanding toLE :'-.aLion by October 1y75 and is aiming to reduce the total to LE500ma on oy ine end of the year. The country's gross reserve position hasalso Lmproved slightly. (As an indication of the improvement of its credit-wo-mss, Egy o 1as now been offered 500 million by a group of U.S. banksfor a term of six yeazrs at 1 1/2 percent above the interbank rate .) Deficit. inancing has been reduced considerably and the Government hopas;ereuofi :a interim peaca accord, some public consumption coulddnrey relaasing funds for production.

EATJZ: Back- ro-ffice Report

1. Thank you for a copy of y7our Back-to-Office report ofAugust 13 on wiich I would like to add the following comments:

(a) '4eed Control: I would suggest that there is no needto send a cable to the Cooperative Program in ?Pnerequesting confirmation of receipt of documents etc.I confirm my conversation with you and Mr. Economidesto the effect that Ar. Abu Sharr had confirmed onIonday last on the telephone that he had received, theweed control documents that you left at FA0 on Fridaylast. In subsequent conversation with Mr. Abu Sharrand following my reading of a translation of a documentbrought back by Mr. Aiyer, he would employ two consul-tants to review the weed control documents (WeedControl specialist and a Drainage Maintenance specialist)in Rome, following which the two consultants would visit0.iro for a few days, probably early in September. Cableshave 7one out subsequently and Mr. Abu Sharr confirmed tome on the telephone this morning he would inform Cairoof the names of the consultants and the timing of theirvisit as soon as this could be finalized. He expectedzrn'iew of the documents to commence next week and thata "all report by the consultants would be sent to me-y the, middle of September. in view of the above, Ie.ould also suggest that there is no need to requestMr. El Ghamry to have all the documents translated intoEnglish by September 1 as it would be quite impossible'or this Division to indicate whether appraisal should

go forward until such time as the consultants reportwas received in mid-September.

(b) Drainage Projects: The new projects referred to willprobably be the second stage of the Nile Delta andsecond stage of the Upper Egypt. It should be possiblefor the supervision mission, scheduled to visit Egptfrom mid-October through to early November to determinethe present status of the feasibility study preparationfor the stage two Upper Egypt project which I understandMr. El Ghamry hooes to complete in October. If thisfeasibility stue7 is complete following review in theBonk in November, it should be possible, subject to staffaailaiiity, to appraise the project from late Novemberthrough to 1-ceber 20 and, as it is a repeater project,go to the Board in June, 1976. Any delzy in the ccampltionof the feasibili": study preventing cosqletion o2 appraisalbefore about Deceribe: 'O would mean that. the project wouldslip into FY 77.

2. As regards the second drainage project, is, there any indica-

tion as to when a feasi'ility study vill be ready; I am assuming thatthis is stage two of the Nile Delta project scheduled for Fl 77.

(c) Soil Amelioration: In spite of repeated requests, wehave not yet received any coaments in writing frm the

fgyptian authorities in. conection with the Cooperative

Program preparation report for the soil amelioration

project. I agree with the Agyptian authorities thatthis report would require updating, bearing in mind

progress made by the Fgyptian authorities since the reportwas written4 However, I can see no need to prepare a

letter asking for information when to date We have hadno revpcnse from the Govermext as to whether' they acceptthe report as prepared by the Cooperative Program.

3. I ham expressed the view before and repeat hereunder thatthe soil amelioration project is basically a drainage project as it is

useless to apply soil amendtenit until the drainage system is rehabilitated.

I cannot see the Ministry of Agriculture carrying out drainage rehabilita-

tion when we have created the Egyptian Drainage Authority to undertake

drainage projects. I strongly believe that the soil amelioration project

is basically a drainage project which should be carried out by EPAD, with

perhas cooperation from the Ministry of Agriculture in regard to the

application of soil amendments. Such coordination would of course make

the organization of the project unnecessarily cumbersome but for non-

technical reasons nay have to be considered.

DATE-..- ----------- ------Your ret. Our ret. MS/WS 's-Qravendeel. 8th August 1975.

P.O. Box 8

Dear Mr. Ffrench-Mullen,

Re.: Tender for the supply of 35 drainage machines for theEgyptian Public Authority for Drainage Projects (EPADP)

Just for your information we have enclosed a copy of the cableconcerning the preaward tests which was sent to the Chairmanof EPADP in Egypt.

We kindly take this occasion to bring some additional pointsto your attention in order to evaluate the above mentionedtender. After analyzing the current position we came to thefollowing conclusions.

We have the impression that Messrs.Steenbergen of Hollandwere elected as one of the three lowest bidders. However,their letter of guarantee shows a deposit of Dfl. 70.000,--( was mentioned by the opening of the bids ) which coversthe purchase of approximately twelve machines only. Takinginto consideration that EPADP will only buy from one supplier,then according to par. 1.3.2. of the tender documents Messrs.Steenbergen could not be invited.

Regarding the Thyssen company ( Hoes drainage machines ) wetake the liberty of making some observations.

Although we have determined a calculated price difference ofDfl. 4.500,-- per bare unit ( based at an exchange rate ofDM 1.00 = Dfl. 1,04 )there are more subjects in our opinionto consider.

First of all: the offered spare parts package is significantlylower.

Secondly: of eminent importance for us is the amount forservice.

Machinefabriek D. Barth & Zn B.V.. P.O. Box 8. Mulweg 23. 's-Cravendeel-Holland - Tel.: Qravendeel 01853-2241 - Telex: 23718Cables: Debart-Oravendeel-folland - Chamber of Commerce: Dordrecht nr. 14407 - Bankers: Amsterdam-Rotterdam Bank at Dordrecht

Following the general Hoes marketing policies we supposeto be also much more competitive. Moreover we offer aco-operation between the Egyptian and Dutch engineers.

We illustrate:Monthly

Number of machines: 12 24 35 Price Dfl.

Technical representatives Dutch 1 1 1 9.250Technical representatives Egyptian 1 1 or 2 3.950Technicians Dutch 1 2 2 8.250Technicians Egyptian 1 2 4 2.950

By ordering 35 machines our total price will be Dfl. 545.400annually, including salaries, social taxes and travel expenses.

We will be fully responsible for the training of the Egyptiantechnicians from the first start and have already selectedqualified persons.

We understood from the Egyptian Authorities that the differenceswere negligible and that the lowest tenderer should be awardedthe contract.

We are of the opinion that not only the unit price, which is aone-time investment, but also the maintenance aspects and spareparts evaluation must be judged and a fair weigh factor applied.

In view of the past developments we have our doubts about thecorrect interpretation of the service matters, which are ofessential importance.

We gladly draw your attention once more to the secondary advan-tages as summed up in the attached cable.

We have brought these points under your attention with theintention to assure a fair comparison. In case the contractshould not be granted to our company, then we are convincedthat this has been done for strong reasons.

Trusting to have served you herewith,

Attn: Mr. D. ffrenchmullen

Dear Sir:

It has come to our attention that the Egyptian Irrigation Authority isin the process of purchasing the Egyptian Ramsis 175 to be financedby the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

When you investigate you will find that the Ramsis is the CzechoslavakianJawa, which is assembled in Egypt by the Egyptian Light Transport Co.We believe that most of the major components plus replacements partscome from Czechoslavakia.

Since this motorcycle is Eastern European in origin ., and Czechoslavakiais not a member of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Develop-ment, how can this purchase and financing be justified.

According to the tender procedure, we have submitted our motorcyclethe SXT125 Harley Davidson, which we believe meets and exceeds allspecifications and country of origin requirements of the authority.

Please re-assess this situation at your earliest opportunity and letus have your comments.

Very truly yours,

Leonard M. Holzworth AGRIC & RURAL DEV DIVISiuN, .iA

Field operations

Durin.- a four-day visit to 1he project ia dispensing operations using

Ba luscide and irescon were seen together with limited spraying of drains.

As previously re)orted treat ent of 245,000 feddans com.vaec b- the

Balar Yusef cnal comeninced in >'rch 1.75. ay;luscide was first a lied at

-inchat Al DIahab at 2 ppm for 8 hours using four 'Unimog' motorised units.

Subseeuently - 1 other urimary branches were treated wii'h complementary

spraying of the teriinal 500 metres of tertiary canals and all field drains.

Some 2,200 kMs of field oains were sprayed but 00 kn of main collector

drains were not treated because of a lock of c-;,Ic 1.

14.5 metric tons of Bayluscide were used in the irriation and drainage

canals trea ted and it was estimated that 15 tons are reosiried to treat the

. aI collector drains ,I ic. disohare 1-3 million cubic metros of water aily.

This phsase of operations commenced on ?Parch 27th and contLinued durn oq April-

June. It as :ev ously thought that all activities would be com.leted in

proximately 5 days but consideTnable dela,-s occurred in the s rayin

o erations because of inadequate trans art.

Assessment of M is work was c;rried out by routine snail sai - ing before

and after treatment (3 scoops with a dip-net every 20 metres) at 10-day

intervals. 'Before the aolluscicide a lie tioa 20 snails were found in

every 100 dias in the riary, Secondary and tertiary canals, and far hiegher

densities in the field drains. following the <oluscicidin no snails were

detected in any ir i ga tIon canals during the erLO d 27th :arch-17th May.

nails erae t: en detected itniary and sec ndry branch canals at a

densitZ of 3 er 100 dils o snLils have been found however in an" tertiary

caLs or in aPny of thke r.a ed drains to t1 resent time.

Oufficient Bayluscide wa borrowed froi other control units in 't to

Uinitiate the July p ase of o rats ons and a consixrninent of 11 metric ton-s was

landed in Alexandria on July -th and has now be n transported to the project

area. It s-iould th2er-fore be sossible to com lete treatment of the main

collector drais and carry out a coiilete July plhase of jrrigatinn and

drainan applications - provided that adequate rann rt a:rr ements are made.

An application of _ailuscide wos da in made at i nohat Al Dciaab on

July 'Th using a 1Cyna -- ' oum. This machine was mahe by the Oh(eical and

Insecticide Co., Abou-Zabal (manufacturers of lollutox), at a cost of

Sfil d*irain on July 10th, 31 mi below linchat Al -ahab. ",asaying ws carried

out in the canals usiny hudson knasack sryrayers and in the drain using a

motorised sprayer (of locaal manufacture - cost ap rx. 2.2. 1,000). This

ok wh as wiel1 carriId ut but the nzles of the kna:sack sprayers must be

ohanrd rom the 'fine spray fan' tyje to the 'coarse jet' form.

sone ,000 litres of rescon would be reuired to complete dispensing

of the Frescon applications is bei p made by the snail control units as already

deF cribed and post-treatment snaol counts will commence 10 days after the end

of the last 1ipl rotation treatmont.

ComLment

The delivery of Pescon wa a. na ed very efficiontly by the -.roject

administration and the traininI course was very well received. Local pecmontel

quickly bsor'bed the t echnolo,0y of its app ication and are clearly croud of

their new skil ls and very im ressed with the simplicity of dis ens: in- the

compound. Shell personnel were ecually imipressed by the enthusiasm and

capabiliies of the project staff. T'he trutnent of the se cond rotation sector

4 as mana-ed hy national personnel and the Shell (xperts left before the end of

that treet' cnt. 2 ieen staff are L uly competent in the water analysis

'o the active compound. Th ere are no lon er any mis ivis about the management

of prolon: ed di spens L or supervision of the isp5ensers durg ch 24-hour

cycle. ThIe d spenser is automatic and trouble-free and can be cou led to

rese voir tanks durin long6 periods without expert checkino. The same problems

arise in rela)tion to sprayine rescon as Bayluscide and a high deyree oL

coordination must be developed betveen dispensin and spra inp operations.

It is nroposedi that soraying should compnence on the fourth day of a igh

'O~0tti treea1ent with Prescon. Jechnolopy Lo dis, ense into collector drains

A further review of the disensin soh dales sliou'ld be ,ade for the entire

project area if ?r scon is ad(opted i t e wa whic, w.s originally recommended,

and t is could result in further economi -s. It is understood that Shsl

Intersatinnal will -ive fiurther assistaince if so required. IP now remains

for asessment of the efficacy of the present Lroramme to be made in 'erms

of ove- ll snal density reduction ond rapidity of re-invasi(.n of tie tr eated

Epideni ole, r

As reported in :a-ch an encouragi. start has been made in collectin-

base-line data for the future evaluatiOn of control measurs in the .roject area.A riasS survey in ,inya Governorate has now been completed (4,371 examinations)sho-uin_- an overall .rev.lence rate of '8.. e h(-s ifection ratel(h)vas obtained in the 10-20 age -rou, (,?xariined. Prevalence rates vary

conside abl 'rom one illae to another. In th ree schools at Shousha rates

rani ng from P3.7 to 100,- wece found in -y ar-old socoolchildren. A'e-specific

reVo lene dat, co&l1.ct in continues in order to ostablish cohorts of 'In ativec i ld ren' for assessoent of 'incidence' of infection and some quality controlof th eso cxinations is beirn made.

It is considered that these studies should receive attention from

Dr. H. M. Haman (Assiut University) as previously recommended.

A visit was made to a rural health unit at Mansafese and routine

laboratory eamination of urines was checked, This unit, which is 10 ka

south of Minya, serves 13,000 people and it is considered may be suitable as

a training centre for the project. Dr. Zimaity hopes to obtain Govement

funds to build extra acoummodation there and provide suitable furniture

and equipment.

QhMothereamy

Discussions were held with Dr. Seif, Director of the Institute of

Tropical Medicine and Dr. Zimaity. It has been decided to establish two

sectors for special delivery of chemotherapy within the project area covering

some 90,000 infected people in the first instance - using tartar emetic,

astiban and etrifonate. The latter compound will be purchased with IDA

funding and, as previously discussed and recomended, cholinesterase

monitoring will be undertaken where this drug is in use. During this initial

phase recording will be carried out, treatment schedules established and

follow-up studies standardised. The use of metrifonate will mean that large

numbers of infected patients (approxi ately 1;200000) can be treated with

this higily efficient oral compound- because of its low cost (5-6 piastres

per course). It is intended to confine the use of Ambilhar at this time to

the Governorate of Payoum.

Dr. Seif's proposals will be ratified by the ohemotherapy sub-committee

of the Bilharsia Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Health. It will be

recalled that previously the Director of the Institute of Tropical Medicine

felt that Ambilhar (niridazole) could be usAd with IDA funding to improve

the delivery of chemotherapy to children in the project area. This was basd

upon the successful experience gained with it in Fayoum. Metrifonate is

- 9 -

however now considered to be the druh of 001i0 on the basis of its

cost/effectiveness.

considerable improveiient in coordinction of activities must be iiade, but it

is expected that this' will follow ihen adetiuae erans.ort is availuble. It is

considered t ae The snail control results obtained in the Bahr Yusef sector

were aond but indi cte that the mark must caie cie earlier in I nrch anc so

prevent the broeding and beild-up of snail -o-ulation densities which take

nlace then.

The Fr-scon trvining :ro-raime and initial dis-ensing vork has gone well.

Clearly the pro, rais was w2ll received and ouch of the prejudice about this

comnound previously held by hinistry staff hes been diioel led . It renains

of cc:rse to oain a satisfactory ass ss ent of the efficacy of the prog-rairae.

A decisIon -bout the use of the resoective molluiscicides shiouid be

reached in Octobea-Uovember in ordae to Faci litate the o vder for chemical

which will be neces :ory for the fu7 prc ramie in Larch 1276. The nrice of

Annex. 1

CALCULATIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF FRESCON TO THE SIRRY CANAL - MIDDLE EGYPT

The Sirry Canal is divided into three rotations for irrigation.

Shell recommend each rotation should be treated separately for five days

with FRESCON 165 gm/l E.C. For the first rotation the dispenser was

placed at the head of the Sirry Canal. For the second rotation the

dispenser was placed at kilo 30. For the third rotation the dispenser

was placed at kilo 60.

Calculat ions

1. First measure the velocity of the water 500 metres below theapplication point. This is done by throwing a piece of wood or abottle into the middle of the canal and measuring how far it flowsin one minute. The velocity of the surface water is then equal to:

distance travelled in 1 minute x 60 kph1000

The true velocity of the water is equal to the surface velocityx o.85.

True velocity = distance travelled in 1 minute x 60 x 0.85 kph1000

2. Next measure the discharge of the water through the regulator.This is equal to the depth of the water x width of the regulatorx true velocity.

Discharge = width x depth x true velocity x 1000 x 24 m per day

3. Next calculate the time it takes the water to flow from the dispenserto the farthest point to be treated in a particular rotation.

Time of flow in Sirry Canal = distance from dispenser to end of rotation hrs.true velocity

The time for water to flow down the last secondary canal is not knownand so we assume that it is about 20 hours. The total flow time is:

Total Flow Time = distance from dispenser to end of rotation + 20 hrs.true velocity

EXAMPLE

For the first rotation, Total Flow Time = + 20 hrs.true velocity

For the second rotation, Total Flow Time = 52 + 20 hrs.true velocity

For the third rotation, Total Flow Time = 55 + 20 hrs.true velocity

-2-

4. The concentration of FRESCON that we must add to the canal is foundby using the graph of concentration against Flow Time.

5. Then calculate the amount of FRESCON that must be added from thedispenser every minute. This is equal to:

concentration x discharge mis. per minute24 x 60 x 165

6. The total amount of FRESCON required each day is equal to:

concentration x discharge litres165

7. There are 112 litres of FRESCON in each drum and so the number ofdrums required each day is:

concentration x discharge165 x 112

8. Each drum of FRESCON will last for:

112 x 24 x 60 x 165concentration x discharge minutes

9. The discharge should be checked each day and the flow of FRESCON fromthe dispenser adjusted if necessary.

EGYPT - Weed Control/Uppar Egiypt II

- 1. I attaehufor your information a general me orandum on the statusof Bank Group operations in Egypt. Also attached is a copy (in Arabic) ofthe present soaedule of work for the Ueed Control Program, with some details,on which the summary report was based. I have asked Dr. Osman 1El Gamryof LPAD to translate the otner details now available in Arabic and to sendthem with Dr. Webbe.

2. The Government is also interested in early financing of a secondstage drainage projact covring a further 300,000 feddans in Upper Bg-pt.The Government now pttach3s top priority to drainage in the agriculturesector and EPAD is preparing a further project for tae Nile Delta coveringsome 600,000 iaddansf, but tdis is unlikely to ba completed before the endof the year. As you know, tas a riculture sector mission is of the viewthat drainage projects ougat to warrant highest priority because of theirdirect returns in terms of production besides benefitting poor rural farmr-s.I wonder, therefore, wether a review of the preparation of both projectscould be undertaken by the next supervision mission !or the two ongoingdrainage projects as an indication of our interest and, providing prepara-tion of tne Delta II can be expedited, an appraisal scheduled, fairly soonthereafter.
