Soil Water Erosion Vulnerability and Suitability under Different Irrigation Systems Using Parametric Approach and GIS, Ismailia, Egypt

Preserving the sustainable agriculture concept requires identifying plant response to water regime and rationing for irrigation. This research compares different irrigation designs coupled with a parametric evaluation system on soil erosion suitability assess sites vulnerable based model (ImpelERO) in an area of 150.0 hectares, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt. Land maps are prepared using Geographic Information System (GIS), properties analyzed evaluated surface, sprinkler, drip methods. The results show that sprinkler strategies more practical methods additional environment friendly than surface enhancing land productivity. Moreover, principle acumen creating use this space is lowering salinity. capability index ranges from 20.5 72.2% (permanently not suitable N2 moderately S2); max (Ci) was 81.3% (highly suitable-S1), while mean 42.87% (Currently suitable-NI). study ranked as highly (S1), (S2), marginally (S3), currently (N1). Thus, obtained data indicated applying (trickle irrigation) most efficient compared sprinkle systems. To identify soil, vulnerability, optimal management agricultural parcel region, ImpelERO (soil vulnerability/impact/management) applied. Erosion risk classes ranged V2 (small) V3 (moderate), region categorized small-sensitive by alfalfa, moderate-sensitive olive. losses varied 7.1 37.9 t ha−1 yr−1 average 17.7 yr−1. guarantee food production future will require system.
