Abstract

The problem of turning plantation lands in Egypt to uncultivable lands is one of the complicated and aggravated problems faced by the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, and the problem will get more serious in the few coming years with the continuation of the increase of the population and the tendency of most Egyptians to reside around Nile banks. This research presents a contemporary view to contribute to limit the problem by suggesting a new minimum cost implementation mechanism that achieves the best results and within a short period of plan and completely executed by Egyptians.
