Analysis of irrigation engineering
- 1. Analysis of Irrigation Engineering By- Ayush N. Hajare (Diploma student, 2nd year, Civil Engineering)
- 2. Contents • Introduction of Topic • History of Irrigation • Role of civil engineer in irritation Engineering • Need of Irrigation • Classification of Irrigation • Big irrigation projects • Future irrigation projects • Advantages and Disadvantages of irrigation • Conclusion @ayushhajare
- 3. Introduction of Irrigation Irrigation means the process of supply of water to soil for raising crops. Irrigation Engineering Irrigation Engineering means to controlling and harnessing the various nautral sources of water by constructing dams, reservoirs, canals and headworks and finally distributing the water to agriculture and industrial fields. @ayushhajare
- 4. History of Irrigation • Irrigation techniques have been introduced many years ago. • Ancient people from different regions used irrigation system to supply water . • Mesopotamia and Egypt were most successful user of Irrigation process. @ayushhajare
- 5. History of Irrigation • Egypt claims having World's oldest dam 108m long, 12m high, built 5,000 years ago. • After 6,000 year's ago messopotamia supported as many as 25 million people. @ayushhajare
- 6. Role of civil engineer in irrigation Engineering • Irrigation process involves civil engineer, hydrologists,envoirmental experts and survey, agriculture , scientists and other. • Civil and irrigation Engineer are very important for successful irrigation schemes. @ayushhajare
- 7. . In Irrigation system we always need civil engineer to construct barrages, dams, canals ,Wells distributing water plants. @ayushhajare
- 8. Needs of Irrigation • Water is necessary for agriculture so, to distributing water properly irrigation is important. • If rainfall is less as per demand for plants , irrigation is necessary to fulfill the requirements of plants. @ayushhajare
- 9. .Now-a-days we needs smart irrigation, it helps in minimal wastage of water. .In this irrigation process, irrigation Engineer and civil engineer play vital roles. @ayushhajare
- 10. Classification of Irrigation • Surface irritation • Sub_Surface irritation • Sprinkle irritation @ayushhajare
- 12. 1.Surface Irrigation • Surface irriagation is the application of water by gravity flow to surface of field. • The entire field is flooded , the water is fed into small channels . @ayushhajare
- 13. Surface irrigation can be classified into three types. • Flood irrigation • Forrow irrigation • Contour farming @ayushhajare
- 14. A) Flood irrigation Flood irrigation is an ancient method of irrigating crops. Very simply water is delivered to field by ditch pipe and simply flows over ground. Flood irrigation is an effective method of Irrigation. B) Furrow irrigation Furrow irrigation is also same as flood irritation. @ayushhajare
- 15. C) Contour farming • Contour farming is farming with row pattern than run nearly level around hill . Not up and down hill. • It reduces the rate of soil errosions. @ayushhajare
- 16. 2. Sub-Surface irrigation • Sub-Surface irrigation means the uniform application of small quantities of water at frequent intervals below soil surface from different emmissions points place at certain distance from each other. @ayushhajare
- 17. 3.Sprinkle irrigation • Sprinkle irrigation can be uses for residential, industrial and agriculture usage. • This method is use that place where lack of water and as well as Sandy soil. @ayushhajare
- 18. . Sprinkle irrigation system is suitable for all types of field. . In this method loss of water is minimum. . This system is very costly . Sprinkle irrigation requires high and continuously power supply. @ayushhajare
- 19. Big irrigation projects • The big irrigation projects is in Kaleskwaram in India. • The Kaleskwaram lift irritation project is a multi purpose irritation project on godavari river in Kaleskwaram, India. • Total cost to construct this dam is 1.2 lakh crore. @ayushhajare
- 21. Some irrigation projecst in India Name River State Bhakra Nangal Sutlej Punjab and Hariyana Beas project Beas Punjab and Hariyana Kashi kashi Bihar and Nepal Indira Harike Punjab @ayushhajare
- 22. Future irrigation projects Dibang Dam • Dibang Dam is proposed and planned concrete gravity dam and will be India's largest dam and tallest concrete gravity dam in World. • Dibang Dam is located in Arunachal Pradesh. • This dam provide 3000 megawatts of hydroelectric power. @ayushhajare
- 23. Some Big Future irrigation project • Kalpasar project- This project will be used for irrigation, drinking and industrial. • Icchampally project • Tipaimukh project • Tlawng project @ayushhajare
- 24. Advantages of irrigation • Irrigation makes it possible to grow cash crops .It gives good return to farmers. • It improves group water storage. • It improves yields of crops • Irrigation is used to generate hydroelectric power. • Water supply • Development of fishery's.
- 25. Disadvantage of irrigation • Irrigation system are more expensive. • Initial cost can be more than overall system. • The sun can affect the tubes used for irrigation , shortening their usable life. • High evaporation- may waste water. • Filtaration is must. @ayushhajare
- 26. Conclusion • Irrigation Engineering is the major part of civil engineering which has high immportance as well as use.There is a continuous development in this sector. Also there are many opportunities for employment in this sector. @ayushhajare
