only and no irrigation water saving will practice in the new lands. Thus, the saved
irrigation water was assumed to be used in cultivating more lands and increase the
total production of sugar beet without using any more irrigation water than the value
under traditional cultivation. Thus, Table 4.10 indicated that the saved amount of
irrigation water could cultivate 44.9 thousand hectares, which increase the total cultivated area to 261.9 thousand hectares, with 21% increase, compared to the value
under traditional cultivation. Furthermore, the total production was 13,881.3 million tons, with 28%, compared to the value under traditional cultivation.
