Land management and agricultural hydro-amelioration - Preparation and design
The preparation and the design include:
- collection of all types of spatial data in high resolution (creation of a digital terrain model, creation of a terrain drop map, area calculation, volume calculation);
- analysis of geodetic, hydrological, meteorological and pedological bases;
- GIS mapping and data processing;
- soil fertility control;
- analysis of physical characteristics of soil (mechanical composition, water capacity, soil density, infiltration);
- technical and crop amelioration, recommendations for land management (tabulation, leveling, consolidation, ameliorative fertilization);
- determining water and irrigation needs;
- analysis of irrigation water quality;
- design of irrigation systems for agricultural areas (preliminary design, main and detailed design);
- design of irrigation systems for backyards and gardens (preliminary design, main and detailed design);
- full or partial automation of irrigation systems;
- design of artificial lakes or irrigation pools.
Preliminary design of irrigation includes:
- analysis of agro-ecological conditions of production (climate, soil, topography, hydrology, hydrography, pedology, geology);
- calculation of plant needs for water and irrigation needs in planned production and recommendations for land management to be irrigated
- selection of irrigation systems - conceptual, technical solutions;
- assessment of operating and maintenance costs - economic feasibility of the project
The main and detailed design include:
- all technical and economic indicators;
- project bases (pedological base, water balance for irrigation, infrastructural restrictions);
- technical solution (hydraulic, static and other calculations, defining work and distribution to users, irrigation system on the plot - detailed network, energy sources, other infrastructure • technical solution (hydraulic, static and other calculations, defining work and distribution to users , plot irrigation system - detailed network, energy sources, and other infrastructures;
- maintenance and management of irrigation systems (technical cooperation, agronomic recommendations, education of workers);
- descriptions, costs and drafts (cost estimates of works by types, drafts and details of technological solutions;
- selection and specification of irrigation equipment.
