IMPROVING THE RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF WATER USE IN IRRIGATION CANALS UNDER VARIABLE HYDRAULIC PARAMETERS OF WATER FLOW
Keywords:
As is well known, the main requirement for an irrigation network is to reliably supply irrigation water to all water users. Under current conditions of water scarcity, many irrigation canals fail to receive the required amount of water resources, and due to a decrease in the hydraulic elements of the flow, the transportation capacity of the canals sharply decreases. As a result, the reliability and efficiency of irrigation canals are significantly reduced.Abstract
The analysis of scientific literature shows that many domestic and foreign
researchers have worked on the issues of reliability and safety of irrigation systems.
The scientific solutions obtained by these researchers are presented in the form of
scientific recommendations and regulatory criteria. However, despite this, some
problems related to the reliability and safety of irrigation structures still remain
unsolved. In particular, the issue of decreasing water transportation capacity in
irrigation networks under variable hydraulic parameters of the water flow has not yet
been resolved.
