The Delta Barrage - the Most Expensive Bridge of Its Time? The First Attempts at Taming the Nile

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Tis article analyses the problems of the frst atempts at modernization of the Egyptian irrigation systems on the Nile River in 19th century. Te focus is on the construction of the barrage in the head of Delta. This project, commenced by Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali (1805-1848), was intended to improve the irrigation of Delta and thus increase agricultural revenues, primarily with regard to the coton production. The engagement of French foreign advisors such as engineers Louis Maurice Linant de Bellefonds and Eugène Mougel in the frst phase of the project demonstrates the great influence France held over Muhammad Ali&apos;s Egypt. The involvement of British engineers Colin Scott-Moncrieff, William Reid and William Willcocks in the later phase of the project, which began in the 1860s, in contrast reflects British economic interests and the rising of Britain&apos;s dominance on the Nile.
