Water is an essential and important element in human, animal or plant life, and its conservation, good management and resource development depend on its use for agricultural, industrial or domestic purposes,The agricultural sector is one of the sectors that consumes the most water, which makes strengthening the efforts exerted in this sector to conserve it a necessity.

What is the irrigation process: it is the organized method of delivering water to plants in the quantities they need for the best production, and the water needed for irrigation is a means of providing plants with nutrients required for growth. The largest proportion of Egypt’s water share is consumed by agriculture,Which could be greatly reduced if the peasants dispensed with the method of flood irrigation, which the Egyptians followed thousands of years ago.

In order to protect this important water resource, the state, represented by the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, pays special attention to promoting water awareness, and there are many methods in rationalizing water use for agriculture, including: planting seedlings, i.e. planting plants at a high density in a small space to spend the first stage of their life before moving it to sustainable land.

Follow modern irrigation systems: These systems play a big role in conserving water, instead of immersion, use some of the newly used parts to prevent water leakage from the tap, and install these parts in different parts of the house, such as the kitchen and bathroom, choose crops that tolerate weather conditions (Plants of the local environment) It is important to choose the crops that suit the climate of the region.

Adding organic fertilizers and covering the surface of the soil: It was found that adding decomposing organic matter on the surface of the soil that is used as fertilizer improves the structure of the soil, maintains its moisture and increases its ability to retain water, rationalizing water consumption by applying water harvesting. Water harvesting is known as a technique used to develop surface water resources that can be Use in dry areas to provide water for livestock.

The importance of rationalizing water consumption in agriculture, where the agricultural sector is considered one of the most water consuming sectors, as the amount consumed in the agricultural sector exceeds 80% of the water resources in the country, so citizens should know the ways to rationalize water consumption because God Almighty has blessed us There are many countless blessings, including (water), so this blessing should be preserved.

The concept of water conservation: it is the process of preserving water wealth so that it can be used in all aspects of life for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes and other matters that primarily require water, Including the restoration and repair of pipes and sanitary installations in the house to reduce the depletion of water, irrigation of trees in the garden with water used to wash fruits or used for ablution.

Conserving water is one of the necessities for the continuation of the agricultural sector due to the importance of water in the growth of plants and agricultural crops. In areas where water is scarce and precipitation rates are low, local people have used simple techniques that suit their area and fill a large part of their water needs.

They developed different types of salt-resistant crops, where saline water is widely available but is rarely used in agriculture, drip irrigation, drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to the roots of the plant, irrigation scheduling, which is concerned with how much water is used to irrigate plants, and how to irrigate , times, and other things are a practical way to prevent excessive water use.
