Using a Geographic Information System For sustainable management of the irrigated lands

This study aimed to development the appropriate sustainable management of the irrigated lands based on Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System techniques in Alaşehir-Akkeçili collective irrigation system. Some properties like the soil structure, land classes, sub-class properties, salinity, sodium, drainage capability, soil depth, infiltration, hydraulic conductivity, as well as the features of current land use, water requirements, the amounts of water that has to be distributed by irrigation system, and climate conditions were evaluated by the Geographic Information System (GİS) and a database based on the land ownership was created.
