The study revealed the following results: 1- In the first model stage: 95% of farmers knew about the wrong behavior of the non-implementation of agricultural aggregates. 2- In the second model stage: 100% of the farmers knew the negative impacts of the wrong behavior regarding to both practices of nonimplementation appropriate agricultural methods and nonimplementation agricultural aggregates. 3- In the third, fourth and fifth model stages: 97.3% of the farmers behaved and sustained correctly by laser land leveling and regulating irrigation water rotation.The most important reasons explained the irrigation behavior of the farmers from their points of view were: lack of irrigation water; unavailability of early maturity varieties and insufficient knowledge about the damage resulting from wasting irrigation water or the advantages of implementation agricultural aggregates.
