Good irrigation practices
- Reducing water waste through the improvement or upgrading of the water transmission and distribution network
- Mandatory adoption of advanced irrigation systems (such as drip systems) following an evaluation to save water
- Regional irrigation planning based on the climate and soil conditions and the water needs of crops
- Expert technicians to implement irrigation plans based on soil and climate conditions and the type of crop
- Operating an information system for farmers to aid in irrigation planning and crop water needs
- Employing irrigation techniques to prevent soil salinization
- Utilizing water-saving irrigation methods such as deficit irrigation (RDI) and subsurface irrigation (SSI) during water scarcity
- Irrigating crops during the evening hours to minimize evaporation losses.
- Record the amount of water used with a hydrometer and provide information on the cost of water.
- Implement a watering system to apply fertilizers.
- Conduct effective maintenance of the irrigation network by using 30% HCl in a quantity of 4-6 liters per cubic meter of water at the end of each irrigation season.
