ABSTRACT
Water scarcity is an increasingly important issue in many parts of the world. All water users must share responsibilities to conserve water quantity and quality. Agricultural producers are facing decreasing water supplies and are becoming increasingly aware of the need to conserve limited water resources. One way to address these concerns is to utilize irrigation technologies with high application efficiency, such as drip irrigation systems DI. In the arid and semi-arid areas, DI is frequently used to reach the maximum water use efficiency [12]. DI has the potential to use scarce water resources most efficiently to produce vegetable and field crops [19]. However, DI is an irrigation system to supply water under low pressure directly near the plant roots [13, 14, 22].
