Damage caused by irrigation with saline water either to the total salt content or the soluble composition or both, depends to a large scale on management. Modification in agriculture management practices used in agriculture under non-saline condition may be needed when brackish water is employed. Permanent irrigated agriculture, especially with saline water requires implementation of appropriate management practices to control soil and water salinity, not only within irrigated soils, but also with entire irrigation projects and even whole geohydrologic system. Irrigation practice which are important in the management of saline water are: Irrigation scheduling, leaching scheduling, irrigation method and management of multi-source irrigation water of different qualities. The fact that great efforts are now being directed to the development and use of unconventional water resources notably artesian, drainage and brackish water for irrigation, yet, the success of saline water use on a large scale in irrigation requires the development of new scientific, practical and economic strategies. Equally, the technology and concepts of using and managing saline water in irrigation must be available and well developed for sustainable production on a permanent economic basis.
