Abstract
Pot irrigation is one of the traditional and intelligent subsurface irrigation methods that has been prevalent for a long time in arid and water-scarce regions. This method is recognized as a low-consumption and efficient solution for water conservation, particularly in agriculture.
Background and Objective
The present study aims to identify suitable indigenous and practical irrigation patterns to improve the current conditions in this field by introducing the methods and techniques used by indigenous people in water resource management.
Research Methodology
The statistical population of this research includes experts and individuals familiar with traditional irrigation knowledge. For selecting the research sample members, a purposive sampling method and semi-structured interview technique were used.
Findings
The investigations showed that, according to experts familiar with pot irrigation, using this method can lead to significant water savings. It is also an innovative method suitable for extremely water-scarce areas for cultivating certain agricultural products. Due to reduced water consumption and associated costs, this method can help improve the economic status of farmers in desert regions in the long term.
