1. WATER AUDIT FOR AGRICULTURAL CROPS..
Overview of project…
1)Introduction about Water Audit.
2)Importance of Water Audit.
3)Process of Water Audit.
4)Methods of Water Audit.
5)Water Audit for irrigation.
2. WATER AUDIT..
1) A water audit quatifying all the flows of water in a system to
understand its usage , reduce losses and improve improve water
conservation.
2) It can be performed on a large scale for a city or a state as well on a
smaller scale for irrigation projects, industries, and buildings.
3) Water auditing or the methodology of tracking water loss was first
introduced as a concept by American Water Works Association
(AWWA) in its Committee report "Revenue Producing vs.
Unaccounted-for-water" in 1957. Since then many states and
regional water regulatory agencies have attempted to measure water
loss based upon the calculations carried out in the report but with
little success.
3. WHY WATER AUDIT IS
IMPORTANT?
1)As you know that loss of water is a very critical global
problem.
2)And according to the WORLD BANK, around 45 million
m3 of water is lost every day which accounts to over US$3
billion every year.
3)In Asia, half of its distribution of water is loses due to
leakages in pipes.
4)It can save our money , time and effort that goes into
treatment of water up to consumable standards,
installation and distribution of systems.
5. METHODS OF WATER AUDIT..
1) Evaluating the source.
2) Calculation of authorized consumption.
3) Identifying the losses.
4) Measuring the performance indicators.
6. WATER AUDIT FOR IRRIGATION..
1) Water audit is a useful tool to determine the water use efficiency
in an irrigation project by accounting water losses.
2) The clear-cut objectives of water audit applicable to irrigation
systems include scope of distribution network, deliverables such
as yield available and water efficiency, delivery
locations/command areas and types of losses.
3) The objective of water auditing in irrigation is to complement
benchmark data in order to generate new measures and
enhance performance.
4) A water audit, combined with superior irrigation practices, will
substantially improve or maximize benefits of irrigation systems
and thereby sustain its efficiency and conserve water use.
