  1. HYDRAULICS_6 Design of Irrigation Systems by László Ormos

  2. WATER HEAD Water energizing: • By gravity The water flows from tanks over the irrigated field. • By pressurization The water flows under pressure by pump into the water network. Water sources: • Open water bodies • Underground water bodies • Reclaimed sewage water

  3. WATER HEAD Tasks for water head: • Filtration Impurities in water must be filtered (sand, silt, clay, planktons, algae,etc.) • Pressure control Adequate pressure has to be set for the required outlet quantity. • Flow control The outlet flow quantity must be controlled. • Control of fertilization The required quantity of fertilizers and feeding into the water must be supervised and controlled. • Timing The irrigation intervals and outlet quantity of water must be controlled.

  4. WATER HEAD • Filtration In order to avoid clogging of water emitters, the water has to be filtered before approaching the emitter. Impurities in water can be classified by the followings: • organic debris, • inorganic solid particles (sand, silt, clay, insoluble materials), • organic living creatures (zooplankton, phytoplankton, algae, bacteria, fungi, etc.) Surface water from open water bodies contains more impurities than underground water.

  8. WATER HEAD • Pressure control Pressure regulator:setting of required pressure in the irrigation network. Pressure limiter: setting of maximum pressure permitted for the pump. One-way valve: prevents the flow of water back from the irrigation networkinto the water network/spring. Water meter: measures (and controls) the quantity of outlet water.

  9. WATER HEAD • Flow control Semi-automatic control: it is combined with the water meter, irrigation time is setting and start by hand. Full-automatic control:interval and irrigation time is switched by a presetelectronic watch. Computer control: interval and irrigation time, shift, and back-flushing is controlled by anirrigation computer. Intelligent control:computer controlinfluenced by the environmental circumstances, continuously.

  10. WATER HEAD • Control of fertilization pH-control: equipment for setting the concentration of fertilizer by measuring the pH-value. EC control: equipment for continuous measuring the conductivity of outlet/drain liquid. Fertilizer injector control: for mixing fertilizers with the outlet water by flushing tank, Venturi- injector or electric driven chemical pump.

  11. WATER HEAD • Timing Mechanical clock: must be set and start by hand. Electronic switch: irrigation time and interval is set by hand, start of irrigation is automatic. Irrigation computer: all the settings are programmed by on-board switches, or byPC with remote control, and start is automatic.
