The most important reasons for the rational use of water irrigation were: high temperature and breadth of water area in front of dams lead to increase evaporation and loss of large amounts of rainwater, Excessive irrigation withdrawals as a result of the unjust, Change the quality of the groundwater surface, Increased salinity of soil and low fertility, and Entry of sea water to drinking water wells due to increased withdrawals. The most suggestion of respondents were: The need to strengthen dams and reservoirs, ground maintenance and development of ways to take advantage of rainfall and floods to improving methods of harvesting, the provision of new varieties suited to climate change and water conditions, the use of advanced irrigation systems, which increase the efficient use of irrigation water under climate change, and strengthening of popular participation to rationalize the consumption of well water, diffusion of water awareness, and upgrading the skills and capacity development of agricultural extension workers with regard to water extension. | ||
