Abstract
In this study, the water evaluation and planning WEAP
model was used to improve the Fallujah irrigation project
with 63,000 hectares and an annual budget get 1,476
million ????3/ yiod (2020-2021). The results showed the
total Water used was 1,272 million ????3/year and equaled
86% of Fallujah irrigation budget. The annual production
was 524.4 million Kg/year for Fallujah irrigation, and
total economic returns were 393.6 million $/year. The
study outlined two scenarios for enhancing the irrigation
system. The first scenario entailed implementing a
sprinkler irrigation system for wheat and barley across
all projects. This resulted in a production increase from
524.4 to 625.7 million kilograms per year and a
corresponding rise in economic returns from 393.6 to
427.2 million annually. In the second scenario, a sprinkler
system was adopted for wheat and barley and a trickle
system for other crops. This approach led to production
growth from 524.4 to 1164.9 million kilograms per year
and a surge in economic returns from 393.6 to 559.4
million annually.
