And I will now wait on the most important matters included in the presented summary, taking each matter separately and explaining what the government did about it, either before or after the committee was appointed, in addition to its advice. Water distribution is the most important concern of the Irrigation Department, as is well known. Therefore, many of the committee's proposals were implemented before the appointment of the committee. The irrigation officials spared no effort in making the farmers understand the danger of over-irrigation. In 1910, advice was sent to all the Directors on this subject, and meetings were held in all the Directorates to explain its importance. It is gratifying that the farmers' opinions and customs have changed significantly regarding over-irrigation, and many of them have stopped irrigating their lands themselves after the floodwaters arrived, even though it is difficult to persuade farmers to change the methods they are accustomed to. The Irrigation Department also paid attention to the necessity of reducing the impact of benefits as much as it could and recently adjusted the fees for many canals to reduce them appropriately, as much as irrigation requirements allowed. The summer rotations in Lower Egypt were followed by flood rotations, in which seven days of high water levels were followed by seven days of low water levels, whereas these rotations include ten days of "work" and six days of "rest" in Upper Egypt. As for the issue of cultivation, it is closely linked to the issue of drainage. Undoubtedly, facilities of this kind are insufficient, and the Irrigation Department has been concerned with this in 1910, as in previous years, as much as its funds allowed. Many projects are currently under consideration to improve the current systems in Lower Egypt and expand their scope. Since all these projects are closely related to other projects to convert barren lands in the north into agricultural lands, they necessarily require careful study, given the serious potential conflicts that could arise from any error. There are now several projects prepared experimentally for approval, and they require enormous expenses. Great attention has been paid to the issue in Upper Egypt, and a large project has been developed to improve the main drain. The drainage system in the lands between the Nile and the Ibrahimia Canal has been completed, and all small drains have been improved recently to a satisfactory state. As for the soil, the committee indicated the establishment of agricultural stations to conduct further research. The Agricultural Department, which will be described later, has begun this research and established 14 experimental farms in different Directorates, and the department's staff are analyzing the soil of different regions in cooperation with
