The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) was used to design a cotton furrow irrigation system in clay soil in Egypt. The study tested different land leveling and irrigation rates to see how well the system worked. Results showed that using an inflow rate of 2.0 Lps/m with precise land leveling of 0.05 or 0.10% was the most efficient. This means that the system delivered water effectively and increased cotton yield in the North Nile Delta area.
