Factors for the efficient use of water distribution facilities

Abstract

In this article, the situation in the selected area was completely investigated to avoid problems that arise when the water distribution facility is in a faulty position. The condition of the hydrotechnical constructions was evaluated. The priority of work on repair and construction of hydraulic structures was defined. As a result of the proper operation of hydrotechnical constructions, a uniform distribution of the volume of water necessary for irrigation of crops throughout the canal, in its upper, middle, and lower parts, was achieved. To implement these activities, first of all hydraulic engineers were trained in the management, repair, and construction of new hydraulic structures. The project documentation (business plan) for the repair hydraulic structures and construction of a new one was developed. On this basis, the repair and construction of new hydraulic structures were carried out. There were given recommendations to the specialists on improving the durability of hydrotechnical constructions. According to the recommendations it is planned to check the state of hydrotechnical constructions after each water and to register them. Several concepts have been proposed to extend the life of the hydrotechnical construction. By repairing and building new hydrotechnical constructions, in the middle and bottom of the canal, and all water distribution canals the water supply to 1015 beneficiaries has been improved. It was achieved an increase in crop yield by 15% and 22% of water savings.
