Because the available water resources of the Arjan plain region in Iran do not fully meet the
watering requirements for plants in farmlands, the crops suffer from water stress, a situation …

Micro-irrigation pipe network systems are commonly utilized for water transmission and
distribution in agricultural irrigation. They effectively transport and distribute water to crops …

The increasing global demand for high-quality agricultural products poses significant
challenges for water resource management while the traditional irrigation methods, reliant …

With the aim of reducing energy consumption and improving water use in pressurised
irrigation systems, the methodology to minimise energy consumption by grouping intakes of …

On-demand pressurized irrigation systems are designed to deliver water with the flow rate
and pressure required by the farm irrigation systems, sprinkling or micro-irrigation, and …

Different groups of hydrants or configurations operate simultaneously in on-demand
pressurized irrigation systems, generating different flow regimes. The varieties of flow …

Water is one of the most valuable resources in the world and the agriculture is one the
largest fresh water consumers due to the low efficiencies in the irrigation processes. This …

This paper presents a mathematical programming model for the optimal design of water
networks in the agriculture. The proposed model is based on a new superstructure that …

The designating factors in the design of branched irrigation networks are the cost of pipes
and the cost of pumping. They both depend directly on the hydraulic pump head. It is …

Most designers of simple pressure water delivery systems for irrigation purposes use very
simple empirical pipe selection methods based on arbitrary concepts (unit head loss …
