Abstract

forts to try to overcome all obstacles to water supply in the short and long run. Especially in the light of contemporary changes, especially the construction of the Al-Nahda Dam, and therefore the aim of the research to identify the most important determinants of water resources in Egypt, in preparation for inclusion in a proposed mechanism for the promotion of water resources in Egypt.   The research aimed at analyzing the economics of water resources in Egyptian agriculture to identify the most important economic determinants facing the Egyptian water resources sector in general and the water uses in Egyptian agriculture in particular, as well as the most important strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing the Egyptian water sector. 
 The results of the statistical assessment of the econometric model of the Egyptian water resource determinants under the influence of water policies show that the supply of available water resources is increasing by about 210 million cubic meters due to the Egyptian government adopting water policies aimed at rationalizing the use of water in all aspects of life, The repercussions of the construction of the Al-Nahda Dam have been in recent times. The most important of these policies is the reduction of cultivated areas of water crops, the development of plant varieties and varieties of strategic crops with lower water consumption rates, the expansion of the application of wastewater treatment technology, the expansion and adoption of modern irrigation techniques, and the lining and clearing of canals, waterways and other policies. Especially in recent times.
