The increasing scarcity of the water resources for irrigation, combined with the growing demand of water of the other sectors, leads us to re-examine the established system of irrigation and push us to adhere to the new tendencies of the national water-saving strategy. The present study focused on reconversion of the sprinkler irrigation system set up in the irrigated perimeter of Korimat (Essaouira province) to a drip irrigation system. The suggestion was adopted in a context of implementing strategies of water saving developing water resources in the hydraulic basin of Tensift and launching by the Administration of the Agricultural Engineering, the Program of Development of the Drip Irrigation on an area of 450,000 hectares. The study focuses essentially on the evolution in irrigation water resources and its effects on the non-utilization of irrigation equipments and the suggestion of reconversion of the existing system of irrigation as a convergence choice to the national strategy of water saving
