Abstract

Maximum sprinkler flow rate, maximum irrigation interval, and leaching requirement are the primary factors in designing sprinkler irrigation systems, which are determined based on the physical and chemical properties of water and soil. This study aimed to prepare the spatial maps of the mentioned parameters in the plains of Islamabad-Gharb district, Kermanshah province. In previous studies, kriging and IDW methods have been found to be suitable for zoning the physical and chemical properties of groundwater and soil. Asadzadeh et al. (2019) investigated the spatial changes of groundwater quality indicators in Ardabil plain by kriging method to investigate the water situation in this area for irrigation systems. Yonesi et al. (2020) also zoned some critical water quality parameters (such as nitrate) of the Najafabad aquifer using the kriging method. Kumar and Sangeetha (2020) used the IDW method to classify groundwater quality in the study area and classify it according to drinking and agricultural uses. Karami and Basirat (2015) evaluated the spatial variations of some surface soil characteristics of Arsanjan plain by kriging and IDW methods. on the other hand, a specific method can not be considered the best method for intermediation and zoning of these parameters. In this study, both methods were used for mediation.
