not exceed 3 days, the level of water in the main canal is mostly weak,

system, technologies of surface irrigation and systems of rational
irrigation were low, while it was average concerning the technology of
irrigation systems and it was high level in the technology of irrigation
Scheduling.
Fourth: The problems which face the growers in applying irrigation
technology: The absence of agriculture extension and water guidance
in the area, the growers' little financial ability, the high cost of building
