“…Morocco is one of the countries the most threatened by climate change impact (IPCC) and water stress scarcity (Gain et al 2016). Dam's policy and green morocco plan help the country to overlap issues related to water supply, increase the food security, decrease intern and extern migration, avoid the population centralization in big Cities, reduce social problems such as ignorance and poverty, provide a good life quality, However, it still facing problems, since the stress is still increasing, also the drip irrigation does not assure a strong production growth (Tanouti 2017), (Alonso et al 2019).…”

In the realms of Climate change impact, economic and population growth, and pollution, Water security, and sustainable development are paramount, for addressing the food-water-energy nexus and mitigating the impact of the cited drawbacks. The presented paper in the first part, emphasizes water security and sustainable development notions. In 2015 s the 2030 agenda were approved by 193 members of the United Nation, it consists of 17 goals (SDG) for environmental sustainability, social inclusion, economic development, peace, justice, good governance, and partnership. The 6th target of SDG is dedicated to clean water and sanitation since it is considered as one of the central focuses of Sustainable Development Goals. The second part is focused on Moroccan's water management plans. This latter elaborate a legal framework for water use, the law n° 36-15 that comprises the protection of human health through the regulation of exploitation, and provision of sanction. The green Morocco Plan (PMV) which aims first to develop modern agriculture aligned with the world global market requirement, and second to eliminate poverty by helping smallholder farming. The 140 dam's that Morocco counts provide strong support to economic growth. However, under the actual uncontrollable changing rate, Morocco is still threatened by low "water security", the access of drinkable water and sanitation services are improved but not totally covered, Moreover, the climate change * This research was supported by the project, which has received funding from the

“…The study site is an orchard with clementine trees (Citrus clementina), in a pilot plot of 0.4 ha located in the middle of the SLIMA-NIA farm with a total area of 18 ha in Triffa plain (latitude 34°55 N, longitude 2°19 O) at Berkane province. The Triffa plain, with an average altitude of 75 m and a total area of 750 km 2 , is located in the northeast of Morocco, along the Moroccan-Algerian border (Figure 1), in the lower Moulouya basin and is bounded to the south by the Bni Snassens Mountains, which culminate at 1535 m, to the west by the Moulouya wadi, to the east by the Kiss wadi, which also delimits the border between Morocco and Algeria, and to the north by the hills of Ouled Mansour. This region is characterized by a warm semi-arid climate in the southern part, while the northwest part is semi-arid cold.…”

“…Sprinkler system is basically used for field applications, based on the size and shape of the irrigated area includes the flowrate and pressure of water supply. Sprinkler irrigation system can save up to 60% of water compared to surface irrigation method and increased water productivity since it is economical at large scale and widely accepted by the irrigation sector [2,3]. In addition to water saving, sprinkler irrigation also offers several other benefits, such as protecting the soil from erosion, avoiding deep absorption, suitable for uneven topography and sloping soils, reduce the use of manpower, producing healthier crops and greater yields [4].…”

The design and arrangement of sprinkler irrigation systems are presented and discussed in this paper. The design is based on a rotating sprinkler system to irrigate the field. Information is provided concerning the components of irrigation systems and the characteristics of the system that affect water application efficiency. The mathematical model is developed to account for water overlapping area throughout a fixed sprinkler system and to evaluate the number of sprinkler irrigation for the whole field using water projection profiles from the experimental data analysis. As a result, a set of recommendations for the design of sprinkler irrigation system management are obtained. Finally, this problem is alleviated using the Maplet interface. By simply typing information in the text boxes and using drop-down menus in Maplet windows, the characteristic of sprinkler irrigation systems can be studied with relative ease.
