Representatives from three Egyptian universities, five U. S. universities, one Italian, one British as well as the Ministry of Irrigation contributed to the conference. The purpose of the conference was to present ongoing research findings associated with water planning in Egypt. The conference also provided a forum to demonstrate the technical contributions developed by the Cairo University/M.I.T. groups, and show how this capability is being applied to understanding and resolution of real problems. The conference also established a mechanism for obtaining early discussion and communication of important technical findings and policy directions growing out of planning efforts with the Egyptian Water Resources community" (p. 67).
