One of the problems of existing irrigation networks is seepage phenomena. Seepage problem and its control in irrigation channels is one of the most important issues in the design, construction, maintenance and operation of these channels. In this study, simulated the rate of seepage and phreatic lines in the Mianab irrigation and drainage channels located in the Karun basin using mathematical t...

Water is the first and foremost limiting factor for agricultural production, and undoubtedly, water crisis is considered as one of the international challenges for governments and human societies. Given that virtual water was first used as a way to tackle water scarcity in countries with limited water resources, so that countries with low water should import food from abundant countries...

The improvement of irrigation systems in the Nile Delta is one of the most important attempts in Egypt to implement more effective irrigation technology by improving the existing irrigation networks. Demand delivery system in the existing irrigation network is using of mechanical gates structures to automatically divert water from one portion of an agricultural field to another in the desired a...

measuring sensitivity of hydraulic structures is considered as an approach for evaluation of water projects performance, due to lower distribution efficiency in irrigation and drainage project schemes. sensitivity analysis approach for irrigation structures is one of flow analysis methods which are developed in recent years in order to measure the behavior of flow in hydraulic structures in an ...

Irrigation systems are as old as man itself since agriculture is the foremost occupation of civilized humanity. To irrigate large areas of plants is an onerous job. In order to overcome this problem many irrigation scheduling techniques have been developed which are mainly based on monitoring the soil, crop and weather conditions. Irrigation scheduling engrosses when to irrigate and how much wa...

To improve agricultural water resources’ utilization, crop’s automatic, locate, time and appropriate drip irrigation is a good choice. In this paper, an automatic control drip irrigation system based on ZigBee wireless sensor network and fuzzy control would be introduced. System uses CC2430 for wireless sensor network node design, collecting soil moisture, temperature and light intensity inform...

irrigation management transfer to farmers is one of the important and necessary issues for irrigation planners globally. irrigation management transfer or participatory irrigation management by water users’ associations (wua) is a widespread strategy in the world and a good way to remove the country's irrigation and drainage systems problems. the main objective of this research was respons...
