The document proposes a tool to help resolve inequitable water distribution in Egypt's irrigation system by tracking water abstraction at individual diversion structures. The tool would use sensors, SMS, GIS mapping and statistical analysis to collect data on farms, canals and water usage. This data could help determine priority and enable more equitable allocation of water between upstream and downstream users.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Irrigation distribution in Egypt nowadays is facing a
challenge, upstream water users tend to have more than
their adequate share at the expense of those downstream.

3. OBJECTIVE
 Build a tool that enable the tracking of water abstraction
by individual mesqas, which could help resolve this
problem and support a more equitable water distribution
system, consequently helping to increase irrigation
efficiencies.
