Management, maintenance and operation of pump supplied irrigation projects Item Info

Ten pump supplied irrigation projects in the Pacific Northwest cooperated in this study. Water use data was collected. Pumping systems were tested for their energy efficiency on each project and data are presented. Special problems were studied and solutions were developed. Methodologies were developed to aid in systematically critiquing pump supplied irrigation systems and the cooperating irrigation projects were critiqued. A methodology was developed to access the attitudes of management on a variety of subjects and the managers of each project participated by answering a standard set of questions. Four computer routines were developed to supply management with some tools to use in planning and analysis. The routines were used to study project operation. Real situations are described in a set of case studies. This final report consists of four parts. Part I is a set of users' guides for computer programs useful as water management tools. Part II is a description of methods and procedures of measuring (pump) irrigation project performance, analyzing the data, and presenting the results. Part III is a set of five case studies where the tools of Part I and the procedures of Part II were applied to real situations. Appendix D, the fourth part, is a set of data from pump tests, which were conducted during this study. Submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service.
