| Summary: | Meet Yazied Canal is one of the main sources of water in Kafr El-Shiekh and Al-Gharbia governorates. The main objective of this research was to study the problem of water shortage at the end of Meet Yazied Canal and focus on the effective elements of delivering water to the end of this canal. Different approaches of storage water were applied during this research in order to overcome the shortage of water at the end of the main canal and its branches. Different scenarios were simulated using the ISIS model which is one dimensional model. The results have been analyzed for each scenario. The results include water levels, velocities, discharges and Froude numbers at different locations along Meet Yazied Canal. It was shown that water management in Meet Yazied Canal is must to overcome water shortage and conflict between farmers and to achieve water equity along the canal. This study showed that good agreements were obtained between the numerical model results and field data. The incoming flow to Meet Yazied Canal is sufficient and enough for cultivating the existing land with the existing crop pattern, if a good management of water has been applied.
