Abstract

This study was carried out in the year 2020, and the study area is located within the city of Bir al-Abd in the Ard al-Khair cluster in the Iqtiyah area, 15 km from the main road, al-Qantara al-Arish. The nature of the soil is sandy, and drip irrigation is on a daily basis. The predominant agricultural system is small farms. The main crops in the region are vegetable crops, and Nile tilapia was chosen as it is one of the most important freshwater fish as it is one of the most successful fish in small-scale farming as it achieves suitable and marketable market sizes. Therefore, the importance of the study comes through most of it the use of water and the production of fish in arid regions and the possibility Using them to irrigate plants, and take advantage of the nutrients they contain, while increasing the productivity of small farms without high technologies through the integration between agriculture and aquaculture. This is a pioneering idea in the field of mostly use and reducing waste in water while creating a kind of integration between the two parts of agricultural production, plant and animal. The results were recommending the use of water discharged from intensive fish breeding ponds in irrigation of vegetable farms because it provides the necessary fertilizers for plant growth and leads to increased productivity and income. It is also included in organic agriculture.
