Abstract

The study aims to use Geospatial Techniques to estimate water consumption in the irrigated agriculture of Azraq Basin in Water year 2016-2017 Through concept virtual water, based on Satellite data from the Landsat 8 satellite Image for August, 2017 and climate data, through the use of the necessary cartographic standards to correct Satellite data, process it and analyze it to produce Digital maps to express the true reality of irrigated agriculture in Azraq Basin in terms of its spatial distribution, types and areas. The study concluded that the irrigated areas in the Azraq Basin are concentrated in two main regions: (Safawi - East Mafraq) and (Azraq depression), the accumulation of evapotranspiration ΣETo 1338 mm. The Accumulated Crop Evapotranspiration ΣETc 3414 mm. Field crops most in need of water among the classified crops each hectare needs 1244 m3 of water. The Virtual water for crops was as follows: (olive trees 110 m3/ton, fruit trees 86 m3/ton, field crops (clover) 27m3/ton, and summer vegetables 16 m3/ton). The study recommends the necessity of using geospatial techniques in studying the spatial and temporal changes of crops in irrigated areas, and adopting the concept of virtual water as a wiser tool for determining the water consumption bill in irrigated agriculture.

الملخص

تهدف الدراسة الى توظيف تقنيات الجغرافيا المكانية لتقدير الاستهلاك المائي في الزراعة المروية لحوض الأزرق السنة المائية2016 -2017 من خلال مفهوم المياه الافتراضية، بناءا على البيانات الفضائية الملتقطة من القمر الصناعي لاندسات 8 لشهر آب/2017 والبيانات المناخية، من خلال استخدام المعايير الكارتوجرافية اللازمة لتصحيح البيانات الفضائية ومعالجتها وتحليلها لانتاج خرائط رقمية للتعبير عن الواقع الحقيقي للزراعة المروية في حوض الأزرق من حيث توزعها المكاني، أنواعها ومساحاتها. توصلت الدِراســــة إلى أن المناطق المَرْوية في حوض الأزرق تتركز في مَنْطِقتين رئيسيتين: (الصفاوي – شرق المفرق)، (منخفض الأزرق)، بلغ تراكم التبخر نتح المرجعي ΣETo للسنة المائية (2016-2017) 1338ملم. والاحتياجات المائية CWR على شكل تراكم التبخر نتح المحصوليETc Σ للسنة المائية (2016-2017) 3414 ملم. ظهر أن المَحاصيل الحقلية الأكثر احتياجاً للمياه من بين المَحاصيل المصنفة للسنة 2016/2017 ويحتاج كل هكتار إلى 1244 م3 مياه. وقدرت المياه الافتراضية للمحاصيل كالتالي: (أشجار الزيتون 94، أشجار الفاكهة 59، المَحاصيل الحقلية (البرسيم) 19، والخضراوت الصيفية 10) م3/طن. توصي الدراسة بضرورة استخدام تِقْنيات الجَغْرفيا المكانية في دِراسة التغييرات المكانية والزمانية للمَحاصيل في المناطق المَرْوية، واعتماد مفهوم المياه الافتراضية كأداة أكثر حكمة لتحديد فاتورة الاستهلاك المائي في الزراعة المروية.
