Abstract :

Agricultural activities are the largest sector of water consumption in the world and in Iran. Due to the scarcity of water resources, to prevent the reduction of crop production, the use of unconventional water resources, including agricultural drains in the irrigation cycle can be a significant help to eliminate Lack of water resources. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the system (IFDM) to conserve water resources and prevent environmental degradation in agriculture. Aghili village of Gotvand city, due to having good water and soil, is a suitable bed for the annual production of more than thousands of tons of grain and non-grain products, but unfortunately in this plain we see the production of a huge amount of wastewater. In this study, the values of pH, temperature, DO, BOD, TDS, TSS, EC, sodium, phosphate, nitrate, in a period of five years (95-90) in river water and in the drainage of this plain are analyzed. Took. Based on the obtained results, the quality of drainage is desirable and it can be used in the irrigation cycle mixed with canal water to irrigate salinity-resistant crops such as wheat, autumn barley and summer cotton.
