Fruit growing is more important in terms of agricultural cultivation. Pear is a valuable kind of fruit species that supported to economy in Turkey. Pear trees need to irrigation in the period of growing/cultivation. Irrigation is more important factor for pear. Generally, application of irrigation recommend from the beginning of May until the end of September. Irrigation methods change according to orchard’s soil characteristic and climatic conditions depend on research area. For this reason, a project for a pear orchard of 1 da to be drip irrigated was prepared and put into operation. Monitoring and evaluation efforts were made in the field and were compared with those for the non-irrigated areas. In this study, irrigation methods and water resources were investigated in orchard of pear in the vicinity of Hisareyn/Kocaeli in Turkey. So, double ring infiltrometer test has been done for the determination of soil infiltration rate and the infiltration value of the soil has been calculated as 8 mm h -1 . After the some soil characteristics were determined, drip irrigation system set up in the area for orchard irrigation. With irrigation time scheduling, it has been proposed that 10-12 hours of irrigation once a week or 6-7 hours of irrigation every 4 days can be applied.

Every year, due to the salinity resulting from improper irrigation practices, almost 10 billion ha of agricultural lands across the world cannot be used. Among the main elements (cations) for salinity in regions with dry or semi-dry climate are potassium (K⁺), sodium (Na⁺), calcium (Ca⁺²) and magnesium (Mg^+’2). Using proper irrigation methods as well as ensuring the quality of irrigation water are of great importance in terms of the salinity of agricultural soils. In this study, laboratory analyses of ground water resources for salinity parameters were conducted in the province of Yalova (Taşköprü, Çiftlikköy, and Altınova regions). In the explanation of the analysis results, variations and effects based on the level of salinity were taken into account and the role of small, meso and large scale factors were determined through the use of the wavelet model. The study results would be of use in the estimation of salinity contents of soils with respect to groundwater irrigation in agricultural areas.
