**1. Introduction**

Water scarcity is one of the main challenges that both agricultural crops and landscape works face in many countries in the world, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions [1,2]. With the given infrastructure, agricultural (in open field and/or under cover) and landscape irrigation and drainage systems efficiency could be increased promptly if their design, installation and maintenance received regular auditing and if more reasonable water managemen<sup>t</sup> was applied. Beyond generic statistical registration by international and national organisations and survey authorities, detailed surveys for irrigation practice could provide valuable information for planning relevant strategies and practical actions [3–5]. This study briefly presents the results of a survey regarding irrigation practice that concern applied techniques, usage of new technologies on water irrigation management, etc., for the region of Western Greece, the region of Epirus in Greece and the region of Apulia in Italy.
