A Developed Criterion for Rationalizing On-Farm Irrigation Water Uses Under Arid Conditions



Arid ecosystems conditions could be characterized with dwindling water resources and growing competition for water will reduce water availability for agricultural development processing, while the need to meet growing food demands will require that more food is grown with less water. Amore effective water and greater water-unit productivity will be a primarychallenge for future development. Due to excess or deficient levels of water or nutrients could result in yield reductions, meanwhile, proper design and management processes of microirrigation system are essential for successful production. Systems must integrate soil-hydro-physical properties, crop root distribution characteristics, water requirements related to crop growth stage and environmental demand.

Farm Irrigation Water Uses

There is no doubt that the average crop yield is a function of the irrigation water application factors (application uniformity; depth of application and the amount of daily evapotranspiration supplied byrainfall), the hydraulic variation of distributors as well as the crop sensitivity to the moisture stress.
