During the last quarter of the 20th century, many irrigation schemes were constructed along the bank of the Senegal River in Mauritania. About 40,000 ha were developed but less than 23,000 ha remain irrigated today. A program for rehabilitation is now in place to counteract deterioration and abandonment of these schemes. This paper presents an evaluation of the rehabilitation of a small, representative irrigation scheme governed by a farmers’ cooperative in the village of Bélinabé. Before rehabilitation, the scheme covered 37.7 ha comprising 107 plots each of 0.33 ha, essentially all devoted to production of rice. Water for irrigation was pumped directly from the river into two head basins and distributed through open canals. After rehabilitation, the scheme was extended to 115 ha with new plots averaging 0.36 ha. Water is now supplied by a single cluster of pumps and conveyed through pipes and open canals. Evaluation of performance consisted in analysis of: capacity; distribution losses; flexibility, adequacy and reliability of the system; maintenance status; farmer's perception of system performance. Field data were collected during irrigation campaigns before rehabilitation in 2004 and during 2006 and 2007 afterwards. A model of network distribution and field water balance was developed to assist evaluation. It was established that before rehabilitation the scheme could operate satisfactorily if proper maintenance were practiced. After rehabilitation, more families have access to irrigation but reliability and flexibility of water distribution have been reduced. Furthermore, pumping capacity is now insufficient to cover crop water requirements. Recommendations are provided for future rehabilitation work and maintenance of schemes generally. 相似文献

The paper examines the method of using project irrigation requirements (PIR) in the design and rehabilitation of small-scale smallholder irrigation systems within multi-sector and dynamic river basins. This procedure, which employs equations that determine irrigation and crop water requirements, is found embedded in irrigation thinking and planning methodologies throughout the irrigation world. The paper argues that if the PIR equations are used formally and conventionally without sufficiently accounting for changing demands for water in semi-arid river basins, they can lead to irrigation designs that over-prioritise water for individual irrigation systems and as such be labelled ‘irrigation-centred’. Although other adjustments and attempts at re-allocating water might be undertaken, basin managers are often unable to recognise, accommodate or transcend the irrigation focus that this approach generates thus curtailing the efficacy of re-allocation efforts. This argument is made on the basis of observations in the Usangu Plains of Tanzania of farmer-originated irrigation and donor attempts at rehabilitation and modernisation. Features of a modified planning and design methodology are suggested, which considers irrigation alongside other water sectors, and focuses on the river basin rather than on the individual system; an alternative which, it is proposed, is more flexible and ‘water-resource-centred’. The implications of this dualism in approaches (irrigation-centred or resource-centred) for basin management, livelihoods, conflict mediation and formal irrigation rehabilitation projects are explored. 相似文献

A study of the water balances of The Fayoum irrigated lands and Lake Qarun was made to investigate the management of the irrigation
system and the efficiency of irrigation water use. The two water balances are strongly interrelated. The drainage flow to
Lake Qarun and the water level of the Lake are in delicate balance. A rise in Lake level causes the inundation of adjacent
land. Management of The Fayoum water balance assumes control over irrigation water flows, but this control has technical and
organizational limitations.
Also discussed is the influence of irrigation practices in The Fayoum on the water balance (e.g., the autumn flushing of fields
and farmers' preference for not irrigating at night in winter).
Notwithstanding a high overall efficiency, irrigation efficiency during the winter is low. The reasons for this are given,
together with the constraints against improving system management.
Improved uniformity of the division and application of irrigation water will enable a better technical control of flows and
will result in better water management in The Fayoum.

Water use was monitored during rehabilitation of flood-irrigated farms in the lower Murray River of South Australia. Ten irrigation offtakes at six farms were monitored over a period of two years during the rehabilitation process. Full rehabilitation consisted of improved inlet structures, flow metering, elimination of water leaks, laser levelling of paddocks, and construction of re-use systems to recycle excess surface irrigation runoff. Partial rehabilitation consisted of the same improvements with the exception of the re-use system. The mean water use per watering of 0.61 ± 0.08 Ml/ha for the fully rehabilitated farm was approximately one third of that for non-rehabilitated farms (1.89 ± 0.15 Ml/ha) and two thirds of that for partially rehabilitated farms (0.99 ± 0.07 Ml/ha). These differences were statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. A large improvement in efficiency of water use was achieved by upgraded water delivery infrastructure and laser levelling of paddocks. Considerable improvement in water use efficiency was also gained, however, only by installation of re-use systems. It is expected that the overall rehabilitation of irrigation infrastructure will result in a significant reduction of water extracted from the river for flood irrigation in this region. Further longer term monitoring is required to confirm this. 相似文献

A learning process has been developed, based on experiences in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Nepal, for improving the maintenance and operations practices of an irrigation project or system. This learning process has been designed to: minimize the investment (O&M) costs so as to avoid rehabilitation; increase credibility of irrigation project staff with central headquarters through improved financial management practices and accountability; and develop more knowledge about what is occurring within the system in order to meet the needs of farmers. 相似文献

The paper describes the engineering approach which was adopted by irrigation engineers in collaboration with sociologists to address the technical, institutional and social constraints found in a study for rehabilitation of a Government run irrigation scheme in Nepal. Designs were evolved to provide a system which was easy to operate, made abuse of the system easy to identify, and encouraged farmer cooperation and the formation of water user groups. 相似文献

We study the actual water distribution within a small Ecuadorian farmer-managed irrigation system, where water is distributed according to the flexible rotation mode. The analysis of distribution rules raises the first potential problem: individual water rights are excessive and may lead to considerable water losses and to inaccurate rotation length. Actual irrigation events are then measured during 1 year (two cropping periods). We notice the variability of the collected flow, which haphazardly affects each plot and probably led to the users' long-term strategies, i.e. a progressive increase of water rights. We also observe very low intensity irrigation practices: individually or collectively, users often choose not to irrigate. These strategies affect the global system functioning and the real access to water for each plot. Globally, the fulfilment of the crop's water needs is inadequate and rain dependent, even when the present water supply at the inlet is sufficient. We also observe a great variety of users' strategies. This variety is studied through cluster analysis. Finally, the use of new methods presented in the companion paper (Part 1) allowed us to analyse the actual system in Urcuqui, and to identify the most important causes of failure, which are now corrected through a rehabilitation project. 相似文献

Interest in systems of user charges for irrigation projects serving large numbers of small farmers has grown in recent years in response to concerns about -the need to provide more adequate funding of O&M, -distortions and inefficiencies induced by subsidies, and -inadequate accountability of irrigation system managers to water users. The effects that can be expected from a system of user charges depend on -whether the charges are assessed as water prices or as area-based fees, -whether the irrigation agency has a significant degree of financial autonomy, and -the nature of the linkages between irrigation charges and investment decisions. Other important considerations in establishing user charges are the ability of the users to pay irrigation fees; the cost-effectiveness of O&M activities; the costs of implementing the user charges; and whether charges are project-specific or uniform throughout a region or a nation. 相似文献

The use of measured water in controlling flows for the irrigation of sugarcane was found to be vital for the rehabilitation and management of surface irrigation on a 5000 ha sugarcane project. Methods of water delivery, measurement and control at Inyoni Yami Swaziland Irrigation Scheme (IYSIS) are described. Improvements to the irrigation, using existing methods of water measurement, were carried out over a period of four years. The lessons gained in this programme of improvements confirmed the benefits of using modulus gates which allow a constant, measured, discharge of water. 相似文献

Develi Basin is a semi-arid basin in central Turkey where water sustains both irrigated agriculture and an internationally
important wetland, the Sultan Marshes. Agricultural and environmental changes in the Develi Basin have occurred since irrigation
management was transferred in 1994 from a state authority (DSI) to irrigation associations (Kovalı and Ağcaaşar IAs). In this
paper we evaluate the practices of the IAs using extensive data from interviews with farmers and IA officials, as well as
data from reports prepared by DSI and the IAs, using comparisons with case studies reported in the scientific literature.
Irrigated areas and surface water use in the Develi Basin showed significant fluctuations from 1995 to 2003. The area allocated
to high water-consuming plants increased. Maintenance activities became dependent on fee collection rates. Quality of the
irrigation water did not changed significantly. Ground-water levels, flow rates from springs, and water levels in the Sultan
Marshes all dropped. Overall analyses indicate that the water requirements of the Sultan Marshes have not been met, while
water use for irrigation has been effective but not efficient. To reconcile agricultural and wetland water requirements, a
basin-wide approach in water planning is recommended. Amounts of water to be allocated to the IAs and wetlands need to be
clearly defined. DSI has to monitor canal maintenance by the IAs more closely, and IAs need to be given more responsibilities
for future rehabilitation of the canals. Realistic water pricing, increased reliability of irrigation scheduling, higher on-farm
irrigation efficiency, and in the long-term, modernization of the irrigation system need to be considered. 相似文献

Surface irrigation rehabilitation in the South-East of France has shown success ever since the beginning of its development in the early 1980s. The gradual introduction of surface distributors, mechanized or automated has resulted in water savings and above all in decreased labor input. The distributors used are: gated pipes, layflat tubing, buried low pressure pipe and cablegation. They are used over an ever increasing area which attained about 1000 ha in 1987.Improvement is made in furrow head distribution as well as in field levelling, furrow flow evaluation, flow control at the head of the furrow and in the collective system.The effect of a modernized system and improved knowledge has been to make automated surface irrigation (particularly furrow irrigation) a modern application method in competition with techniques such as sprinklers and localized irrigation.Abbreviations ASAE

The People's Victory Irrigation System which diverts water from the Yellow River of China covers a total irrigable area of 59 000 ha. The system encountered some serious problems in the first decade of its operation — salinity and waterlogging of irrigated land, siltation of irrigation and drainage channels, as well as a low efficiency of water use. This paper describes a series of structural and functional measures which have been adopted in the past 24 years for the rehabilitation of the system, including: improvement of the existing drainage system and construction of new drainage system on agricultural land, conjunctive use of surface and groundwater supplies, a comprehensive programme to reduce the levels of siltation as well as the implementation of improved water management practices. A model for the optimal operation of the system by using system analysis theory as an aid in reducing the operation and maintenance (O & M) costs has been developed in recent years. The results are that the soil salinity has been controlled and the agricultural production has increased whilst the efficiency of water use has improved and the siltation levels reduced. Experience gained on this system has been successfully used in developing and managing other irrigation projects along the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The proposed procedure of solving the said optimal model has also embodied some benefits from reducing O & M costs in operation. 相似文献

World water supplies are limited and water-saving irrigation practices, such as partial rootzone drying (PRD), should be explored. We studied the effects of PRD, applied through furrow and drip irrigation, on plant water relations, yield, and the fruit quality of processing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. ‘Petopride’). There were four treatments. The first two were: full irrigation by hand on both sides of the root system which mimicked furrow irrigation (FuI), and half of irrigation water in FuI given alternately only to one side of the root system with each irrigation (PRDFuI). The next two treatments were: full drip irrigation (DrI) to both sides of the root system, and half of irrigation water in DrI given alternately only to one side of the root system with each irrigation (PRDDrI). Leaf water potential was the same among the treatments except for the PRDFuI plants, which had the lowest midday values only in one sampling out of four. Photosynthetic rate was the same among the treatments except for the drip-irrigated plants having the lowest value in one sampling out of four. Number of fruit, mean fruit mass of fruit, total fresh and dry mass of fruit, and harvest index were the same among treatments, but PRD plants had increased irrigation use efficiency compared to fully irrigated plants. There was no incidence of blossom-end rot in any of the treatments. PRDDrI fruit had redder colour and higher total soluble solids concentration. Advancement in fruit maturity and enhancement of quality could be achieved without detrimental effect on fresh and dry mass of fruit by application of PRD. Independent of the irrigation method, PRD treatments improved irrigation use efficiency by ca. 70%. PRD has the potential for use in processing tomato especially in environments with limited water. 相似文献

Use of low quality water for irrigation of food crops is an important option to secure crop productivity in dry regions, alleviate water scarcity and recycle nutrients, but it requires assessment of adverse effects on health and environment. In the EU-project “SAFIR1” a model system was developed that combines irrigation management with risk evaluation, building on research findings from the different research groups in the SAFIR project. The system applies to field scale irrigation management and aims at assisting users in identifying safe modes of irrigation when applying low quality water. The cornerstone in the model system is the deterministic “Plant-Soil-Atmosphere” model DAISY, which simulates crop growth, water and nitrogen dynamics and if required heavy metals and pathogen fate in the soil. The irrigation and fertigation module calculates irrigation and fertigation requirements based on DAISY's water and nitrogen demands. A Water Source Administration module keeps track of water sources available and their water quality, as well as water treatments, storage, and criteria for selection between different sources. At harvest, the soil concentrations of heavy metals and pathogens are evaluated and the risk to consumers and farmers assessed. Crop profits are calculated, considering fixed and variable costs of input and output. The user can run multiple “what-if” scenarios that include access to different water sources (including wastewater), water treatments, irrigation methods and irrigation and fertilization strategies and evaluate model results in terms of crop yield, water use, fertilizer use, heavy metal accumulation, pathogen exposure and expected profit. The management model system can be used for analysis prior to investments or when preparing a strategy for the season. 相似文献
