Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation Systems
A description of the problems of operation and maintenance of irrigation systems, particularly in the United States, is presented in this paper. Operating procedures based on deliveries of water in accordance with natural flow rights, on demand, in rotation, and on advance orders are discussed. Causes of operating waste are described and the need for measurement of water is emphasized. It is pointed out that efficient operation of irrigation projects depends on the maintenance of all storage, diversion, distribution, and drainage works in good condition at all times. Various maintenance problems are described, and attention is called to the need for more efficient machinery and equipment. Certain records of costs of operation and maintenance of irrigation projects are presented and the importance of better cost accounting is emphasized.
