A surface of 500 ha is still irrigated by artificial channels wherein the water is diverted from the rivers. A lot of maintenance work has to be done and the farmers are no longer able to maintain these irrigation channels in a good state. A plant, covering the whole surface, has been be built. On this plant, irrigation is now done by sprinklers. The project is financed both by the State and by the Province. The plant covers an area with a height difference of 600 m. Therefore, pressure breaking and reducing devices had to be built. By using of the software EPANET, the whole system was dimensioned in order to guarantee an ideal range of pressure at the sprinklers (3 – 7 bar) and in order to establish optimized working schedules for the operators of the plant. The total lengths of the conduits is around 100 km. The diameters vary between 600 mm and 40 mm. The used materials are cast iron and polyethylene. The maximum static pressure is 25 bar, the minimum dynamic pressure 3 bar. 3 pressure breaking chambers and 4 pressure reducing stations have been built. The whole plant is equipped with a monitoring system in order to control water consumption and to prevent damages in case of conduit failure.
