| Abstract | ||
| The acute lack of water in many arid and semi-arid countries is regarded as one of the major challenges to agricultural production globally. In such areas, fish farm drainage water would be a reliable water source.. Emitter clogging is the major factor limiting the effectiveness of fish farm drainage water drip irrigation systems. In this regard, great precision in the filtering process is necessary to provide increased efficiency when using fish farm drainage water with drip irrigation systems. From September 2021 to April 2022, the field experiment was carried out in the Wadi El Natroun region of Egypt's Beheira Governorate (29° 52° 31° N, 31° 30° 35° E). This study's primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of three distinct emitter types (GR line D1, Out line D2 and Flat line D3) in two types of irrigation water (well water and fish farms drainage water). Iron screen measuring 60 cm long by 22 cm diameter and a cylindrical inner filtration unit measuring 60 cm long × 15 cm wide made up the filtration unit. The main results revealed that fish farm drainage water caused more clogging for all investigated emitter types. The outline emitter was less clogged while the GR emitter was the most clogged one in all tested treatments. The outline emitter is recommended to be used with fish farms drainage water and need further study, while flat emitter is suggested to be used with high quality irrigation water. | ||
