ABSTRACT
Land surveying geographic Information system, and remote sensing were integrated to stand for technical specifications of about 660 long km of branch ,sub-branch canals, and low level meskas through Mahmodia and Mit –Yazid regions in west and middle delta ,and hence apply analysis and decide actions needed to replace and renew the irrigation network, and rehabilitation of hydraulic structures built through these regions. A huge surveyed data which comprises of (cross-sections of the various water channels , deduced Longitudenal sections from cross sections points along all the canals, reference points for important sites (bridges, canals, weirs, etc. ...), and various surveyed water structures built on the water channels with all necessary dimensions), all these data where processed under ArcGIS environment . A skeleton of a geodatabase to store the surveyed data was constructed. Georefrecing of the Ikonos image and digitizing all canals from these images were performed . All cross sections which related to every canal were projected in one layer . 228 canals, about 5500 cross sections , 228 longitudinal sections, 381 bench marks, and 532 water structures were stored with all related descriptive data which comprises of: : AutoCAD file, photos ,information , X,Y positions ,and description cards (about 7600 records). Many analysis have been performed to measure and stand for the status and the efficient of these canals and hydraulic structures using overlay tools, select by location, and topology roles under ArcGIS environment .Finally two digital base maps for Mahmodia and Mit-Yazid regions were produced, to support the decision makers with accurate and actual data in a timely manner to continuously develop and update Egypt's vast irrigation network and plan actions needed in water managements.
