Head Loss Modelling with Advanced Hydroinformatic Tool in Sprinkler Irrigation Facilities, Study Case: Sprinkler Irrigation Facilities on 400 ha in Iohanesfeld, Romania
摘要
In in the last 10-15 years, droughts in Banat Plain have imposed finding new sources of water for irrigation application on drained land. This paper presents irrigation facilities on 400 hectares on a private area using modern sprinkler irrigation installations, with Bega River being the water source. The installations use modern mobile watering devices: centred pivots and hose - drum irrigation, longitudinally propelled. The water intake for the irrigation application is taken from Bega River and transported over a distance of 12.9 km through the existing network of drainage channels, accumulated in a storage pool from which it is pumped in the underground through a network of pipes and distributed to the crops by mobile sprinkler irrigation equipment. Thereby this sprinkler irrigation facility is using the existing drainage network to transport water from the source to landscaped area. The numeric modelling was performed using MIKE11 by DHI software, HD module. The Hydrodynamic (HD) module is the nucleus of the MIKE 11 modelling system and forms the basis for most of the modules including Flood Forecasting, Advection-Dispersion, Water Quality and Non-cohesive sediment transport modules [1].
