Abstract

A central issue around which the recent growth literature has evolved is that of sustainable development. In this perspective, expansions of interest in the analyzing of water resources and the problems to which they are applied should be taken in account. As considered a limiting factor for economic development, water management requires special attention. So, undertaking development of sustainable solutions to 21st century water resource problems becomes a strategic imperative. But, this is combined with some problems relating to the management of water. This article attempts to further analysis of the role of innovation for a better management of irrigation water. It takes into account all potential forms of technological innovation for sustainable development. This analysis is supporting a questionnaire on irrigation practices targeting fifty farmers in the region of Sadaguia. For this purpose, this paper tries to give some possible reflections that help us to develop the analytical tool that may help us to improving the way towards the amplification of the analysis paradigm.
