Abstract

Soil and water conservation, sustainable development and job creation were considered as one of the most important of the country's knowledge-based management strategies in poor and rural region. Soil survey, Watering ability, standard classification and land suitability for amending or replacing the current use and also new irrigation methods to increase irrigation efficiency in agricultural part and promote the value added of agricultural production was an important step to achieve resistance economies.In this regard, a study was conducted in the Rigan County located at the South East of Kerman Province. Intended region was very poor and this research was very important in terms of manufacturing career opportunities and get template for nearby areas.The main objectives of this research were the feasibility of modify and production new capabilities in water and soil resource for Eliminating or reducing the restrictions on improve or change land utilization type and promotion of management operations in the region. Field studies including site selection and drilling of 23 soil profiles and 160 soil sampling were conducted to attain above objectives. various thematic maps such as land resource evaluation, standard classification and land Watering ability were prepared for two irrigation method as surface (traditional) and localized (modern) using auxiliaries’ data such as satellite imagery, geological and topographic maps and weather information, previous studies and laboratory analysis result from soil sampling. Then, current and future land suitability evaluation were conducted for three land utilization types including irrigated wheat, alfalfa and the date. Physiographic lands of the study area were piedmont plain, plateau and alluvial fan. The results showed soils based on comprehensive classification of soils (Soil Taxonomy, 2014) are classified into the Salids and Gypsids sub-order category. Land modifiable restrictions and the uncorrectable limitation can be noted salinity and alkalinity, hardpan layer, topography and climate, large amounts of gravel in top and subsoil, respectively. Due to the presence of underground water resources, doing improvement operation, changing irrigation method and performing an efficient management can be planted suitable variety of land utilization types (agriculture and horticulture) for all of the region that were bare land. Part of the region having agricultural capability land use were moderately suitable class (S2) for wheat and alfalfa utilization types and the entire region were suitable class (S1) and moderately suitable class (S2) for date. Finally it can be said that the fulfillment of rural development programs, overcome on deprivation and restrictive economy goals in soil and water resources context are accessible by implementing suitable management
