It offers a comprehensive description of Rashda, a village in Dakhla Oasis in Egypt from its beginning to the present. Key concepts are the uncertainty of the water supply, the dependence on the political regime and the rational behaviour of individuals. The villagers of Rashda have dealt with the difficult natural circumstances by creating the local customs of irrigation and cultivation. The development of village recently depends ever more on the government, as long as large amounts of finance and superior technology are necessary to dig deeper wells to secure water for cultivation. 410 0$aIslamic area studies (Brill) ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aWater-supply$zEgypt$zDakhla Oasis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWater-supply 676 $a916.2 700 $aKato?$b Hiroshi$0303257 702 $aIwasaki$b Erina 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480869503321 996 $aRashda$92065988 997 $aUNINA
