Technical and economical comparison of main irrigation methods according to climate and soil conditions in Deir-Ezor


Abstract in English

Principally the main bases for comparison are to compare the field losses with the net water requirement in addition to that a comparison should be carried out between the most important financial indicators i. e. the used capital and the investment capital. Comparing field losses to the net water requirement, it appears that drip irrigation methods come first then comes sprinkler irrigation and after surface irrigation (furrow irrigation), but from comparing the basic cost to financial investment, it appears that sprinkler irrigation precedes drip irrigation followed by surface irrigation (furrow irrigation). If we take into consideration the crop composition in the region where wheat crop, according to the crop rotation reaches 56.24% and which is impossible to irrigate by the drip method, in addition to the necessity of forming a washing stream of water opposing the rising water stream by capillarity caused by the proximity of saline underground water, we found out that irrigation by sprinkling is the optimum method for this region.
