The study was performed to research irrigation systems in Şefikcan Public park at Konya province of Türkiye. In that purpose, applied water by both the sprinkler and drip irrigation systems were determined. In results, seasonal applied water for sprinkler irrigatedgrass and for plants irrigating by drip system were found as 1510 mm and 576 mm, respectively. The reason of less amount of water availability in drip-irrigated area was high amount of water losses associated from leakages in the drip system. In study region, where negative effects of climate change in recent years have been experienced notably, areas with less water consuming trees and tolerant to the water high or moderate stress such as shrubs or woody plants should be widened. Irrigation managers have a great role to play in the desired performance of irrigation so people who are dealing with irrigation in field scales should be practiced about irrigation scheduling. In result, correct irrigation water management is necessarily a prerequisite for obtaining maximal water profitability from unit water application which is vital important for conserving the water resources particularly in water-starved ecologies.

The paper aimed to research drip irrigation systems used for irrigation of cherry plants in Konya- Akşehir and Afyon-Sultandağı provinces, Türkiye in 2022 plant growing season. The overall results showed that seasonal applied water for plants were determined as 172.8 mm. The evapotranspiration of cherry plants in region during cycles Mid April- August was calculated as 513 mm. The rainfall was 149.35 mm in such period. Therefore, 190.85 mm water was met from the current soil moisture within the plant rooting depth. The cherry fruits have been harvested before the mid-June so after that period in regions, irrigation water with small amount have been applied as supplement irrigation. In that context, it is possibly to say that cherry plants in region has used much water from the water stored within the plant rooting depth during the late Autumn and winter seasons so applied water. In accordance of low irrigation water application, cherry plants have great contributions on sustainable utilization of water resources in water scant environments such Konya closed basin of Türkiye.
