Tahany Noreldin is a professor and agronomist at the Soils, Water and Environment Research Institute, Egypt, with a focus on sustainable water management. I utilize crop modeling (DSSAT, AquaCrop, CropSyst, SAlTMED) to analyze crop-water relationships under climate change scenarios, providing vital data for Egypt's land reclamation efforts. My current goal is to integrate GIS and remote sensing for advanced evapotranspiration mapping to further improve water use efficiency and resilience in agricultural systems.

  • The Role of Precision Coffee Farming in Mitigating the Biotic and Abiotic Stresses Related to Climate Change in Saudi Arabia: A Review
    Hanan Abo El-Kassem Bosly, Rehab A. Dawoud, Tahany Noreldin, Rym Hassani, Habib Khemira
    Sustainability Switzerland, 2025
    In Saudi Arabia, coffee (Coffea arabica L.) has been grown for centuries on the mountain terraces of the southwestern regions. Jazan region accounts for about 80% of the total production. The acreage allocated to coffee is comparatively small but it is expanding rapidly thanks to a strong government-supported drive to increase local coffee production. Despite the initial success, the effort is hampered by the limited water supply available for irrigating the new plantings and the increased incidence of pests and diseases. The magnitude of these natural handicaps appears to have increased as of late, apparently due to climate change (CC). This review examines strategies to mitigate the consequences of CC on the coffee sector through the implementation of precision agriculture (PA) techniques, with the focus on addressing the challenges posed by biotic and abiotic stresses. The impact of CC is both direct by rendering present growing regions unsuitable and indirect by amplifying the severity of biotic and abiotic tree stressors. Precision agriculture (PA) techniques can play a key role in tackling these challenges through data-driven tools like sensors, GIS, remote sensing, machine learning and smart equipment. By monitoring soil, climate, and crop conditions, PA enables targeted irrigation, fertilization, and pest control thus improving efficiency and sustainability. This approach reduces costs, conserves resources, and minimizes environmental impact, making PA essential for building climate-resilient and sustainable coffee production systems. The review synthesizes insights from case studies, research papers, and other scientific literature concerned with precision farming practices and their effectiveness in alleviating biotic and abiotic pressures on coffee trees. Additionally, it evaluates technological advances, identifies existing knowledge gaps, and suggests areas for future research. Ultimately, this study seeks to contribute to enhancing the resilience of coffee farming in Saudi Arabia amidst ongoing CC challenges by educating farmers about the potential of PA technologies.

  • Response of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) to deficit irrigation management under the semi-arid environment of egypt: Field and modeling study
    Samiha Ouda, Tahany Noreldin, Juan José Alarcón, Ragab Ragab, Gianluca Caruso, et al.
    Agriculture Switzerland, 2021
    In many areas of the world, water shortages prevail and threaten food production. Deficit irrigation was commonly investigated in dry areas as a precious and sustainable production approach. Using the CropSyst model to simulate the effects of different deficit irrigation treatments could help draw conclusions and save time, effort, and money. Therefore, the aims of this research were (i) to calibrate and validate the CropSyst model for wheat under different sustained and phenological stage-based deficit irrigation treatments, (ii) to simulate the impacts of the latter treatments on limiting wheat yield reduction. Two field experiments were conducted in Nubaria (Egypt), representing an arid environment. They included seven irrigation treatments: (1) 100%, (2) 75%, or (3) 50% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) during the whole crop cycle; (4) 50% ETc at tillering only, or (5) at booting only, or (6) at grain filling only, or (7) at both tillering and grain filling, with the replenishment of 100% ETc to the treatments (4) to (7) in the remaining phenological stages. The results revealed that phenological stage-based deficit irrigation of wheat resulted in lower yield reduction compared to sustained deficit irrigation treatments, with a 6% yield reduction when 50% ETc was applied at the booting stage. Wheat yield loss was reduced to 4 or 6% when 95 or 90% of ETc were applied, respectively. The CropSyst model accurately simulated wheat grain and total dry matter under deficit irrigation with low RMSE value. In conclusion, the CropSyst model can be reliably used for evaluating the strategy of planned deficit irrigation management in terms of wheat production under the arid environment.

  • Evapotranspiration data to determine agro-climatic zones in Egypt
    Samiha A. H. Ouda, Tahany A. Norledin
    Journal of Water and Land Development, 2017
    The objective of this paper was to compare between agro-climatic zones developed from 10-year interval of weather data from 2005-2014, 20-year interval of weather data from 1995-2014 and the zoning developed by [NORELDIN et al. 2016] using 30-year interval from 1985-2014 in the old cultivated land of Egypt in the Nile Delta and Valley. Monthly means of weather data were calculated for each year, and then monthly values for 10-year and 20-years were calculated for each governorate. Basic Irrigation scheduling model (BISm) was used to calculate reference evapotranspiration (ETo). Analysis of variance was used and the means was separated and ranked using least significant difference test (LSD0.05). Our results showed that agro-climatic zoning using 20-year values of ETo was similar to the zones developed with 30-year values of ETo, with different values of average ETo in each zone. Furthermore, using 10-year values of ETo resulted in higher values of ETo in each zone, compared to 20-year and 30-year ETo values. However, the average value of ETo over the three classifications was close to each other. Thus, depending on the availability of weather data, either zoning can be sufficient to develop agro-climatic zones.
  • Agro-climatic zoning in Egypt to improve irrigation water management
    Tahany Noreldin, Samiha Ouda, Alia Amer
    Journal of Water and Land Development, 2016
    The objective of this paper was to develop agro-climatic zones in the old cultivated lands of Egypt in the Nile Delta and Valley using climate normals from 1985–2014 to facilitate better irrigation water management under water scarcity conditions. 30-year monthly climate data were collected for 17 agricultural governorates in Egypt and yearly averages and 30-year averages were calculated. BISm model was used to calculate yearly averages of potential evapotranspiration (PET) and 30-year average for each governorate. Analysis of variance was done using one factor randomize complete block design, with number of years as replicates. Furthermore, the mean, the range and R2 were calculated to test the strength of the relationship between PET and climate elements. The means of PET for each governorate was separated and ranked in ascending order using least significant difference test (LSD0.05). The results identified 7 agro-climatic zones (LSD0.05 = 0.146). These zones were: (1) Alexandria; (2) Demiatte, Kafr El-Sheikh and Dakhlia; (3) El-Behira, and El-Gharbia; (4) El-Minofia, El-Sharkia, El-Kalubia, Giza and El-Fayom; (5) Beni Sweif, El-Minia, Assuit and Sohag; (6) Qena; and (7) Aswan. Such zoning will increase the ability of the Egyptian policy makers to prepare the appropriate water management and development policies as a result of the availability of proper information on each zone aiming at efficient use of the limited water resources.
