The study of an integrated management of Ruz irrigation project and its impact on sustainable agricultural development aims at clarifying the optimal use of the water, since this irrigation project is recently constructed but old in its flowing.

The researcher postulates that there is a close cooperation between the project management and the concerned agricultural department for an accurate implementation of the water policy which is already drawn up to achieve the promising objectives of this policy.

Al-Ruz irrigation project is one of the most important projects in terms of land reclamation in Diyala province.

Balad Ruz - Mandali Road is the borderline between the lands of these two irrigation projects.

All the sectors lands of the project have been completely reclaimed except the lands of (2, 9) sectors which have been partially reclaimed.

This research paper includes four aspects: the first section addresses the water usage of Al-Ruz irrigation project in agriculture.

Second section deals with the reality of water resources management of Al-Ruz irrigation project and its impact on sustainable agricultural development.

Third section examined the impact of water resources management in Al-Ruz irrigation project on sustainable agricultural development).

Fourth section investigates the challenges that encounter the integrated water management in the project).
