Abstract :
When you look at the usage percentage of water resources in the world in terms of sectors you figure out that it is mostly used in agricultural production with 69 percent of the rate. It is vital that managing such kind of resource perfectly and supplying it to the needs of human being is as important as water itself if you pay attention the earth is static and the population has been rising continuously. When the studies inspected, there are a lot of information concerning the conscious and controlled usage of agricultural water. However the studies have calculated the irrigation periods looking soil moisture, temperature, plant diversity and other parameters. In the irrigation plan offered in the study, it was determined that via night-irrigation and caring the needs of the plants, 20,46 percent of the water saving and 23,9 percent of the energy saving were provided. 20,46 percent of the water saving shows that water resources will be able to used longer if you take care that 69 percent of existing water resources is being used in agricultural irrigation.
