Abstract
Because of the presence of Egypt in the dry zone, it requires the use of modern techniques for the use of irrigation water in agricultural activities to provide water and maintain the available water resources. Among the modern technologies of irrigation systems use of smart and automatic irrigation systems, which depends on the use of sensors in the soil connected to electric locks automatically shut and open According to signals from humidity sensors, this fieldwork was carried out in the village of Abu-Ghalib in the north of Giza governorate in Egypt in clay soil. Concerning the contour maps of soil moisture contents and the mean soil moisture content, the applied irrigation systems could be arranged in the following ascending order: Smart drip irrigation system before and after irrigation at differences in moisture percent between any two irrigation treatments were significant at the 5 % level except that between land leveling 0 % and land leveling 2% before irrigation. According to soil moisture content the irrigation, smart drip irrigation system before irrigation and after irrigation, the differences in soil moisture content between land leveling 0 % one side and land leveling 2% from the other side was significant at 5 % level. It could be concluded that the effect of the smart drip irrigation system was positive on soil moisture content and that the contour maps produced are of immense importance in clarifying this effect and thus can be recommended for use to indicate the extent to which the soil is affected by the modern and the high techniques of smart irrigation systems.
