Abstract

Ninevah governorate is situated at north of Iraq. The total cropped area of this region is about 4000000 hectars, the land is very fertile. The major crops are wheat and barley, and around this area about 71% of the country's wheat and 41% barley are grown, all depending on rainfalls.
Due to insufficient precipitation during the last ten years. Most of the farmers did not harvest their crops for many years and they left their villages and fields. Surface water and electricity is not available in this district. Sprinkler irrigation system is designed depending to underground water from wells using solar energy for pumping. The sprinkler system can be used as supplementary irrigation with winter crops (wheat and barely) and giving a chance of planting other crops during the summer season. This will maximize the crop production many times. Cost of the system is analyzed and discussed.
