Water management implements a considerably important strategic assignment by representing the results obtained from the researches which will prevent the damages to environment and other natural sources by the utilization of the water sources efficiently on agricultural areas. Especially, essential information is generated for the profitable management of product irrigation and drainage systems. Performance enhancing studies in irrigated farming are carried out by the development of new Technologies for the projecting, operating and management of new irrigation networks.  Besides, for the determination of economical reclamation technologies, background information is generated for the reclamation of the agricultural areas which are affected from salinity and sodication. Researches are carried out for the increment of irrigation efficiency and retrieving the irrigation waters and other waste water sources to agriculture. By this means, excessive water demand risk is tried to be reduced in irrigation areas.
