Abstract :
Iran has limited water resources combined with high evapotranspiration. The overpopulation and the increasing need of food and thus the lack of agricultural products always rings the alarm. Thus with development of water resources and saving water, we can raise surface water irrigated fields and finally raise agricultural productivity. In this project, by using existing data from soil and water resources in the Central Desert, including provincesKhorasanRazavi and Jonoobi, Semnan, Isfahan, Qom, Yazd, Hormozgan, Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan and by using Boolean logic and GIS software, suitable and talented areas, identified for the implementation of modern irrigation systems, And then based on the results of questionnaires, affecting factors of rejection the pressurized irrigation systems by farmers in desert areas were analyzed with SPSS software And finally by using sustainable agricultural development indicators of population, the population sustainable settlement, it was estimated. The results show that, with the proper use of water and soil resources and avoid wasting this valuable resource not only can be increase production per unit area index over the country and world but also by increasing acreage can be increase products in the range of 4 to 42 percent and establishment of population based on various indices in the range of 11 to 34 percent. While economic-administrative agent as the main challenge in the implementation of pressurized irrigation systems in desert areas were identified.
