This document discusses various methods of irrigation. It describes surface irrigation methods like furrow, border and basin irrigation. Furrow irrigation involves applying water in narrow channels between crop rows. Border irrigation divides fields into strips separated by ridges to guide water flow. Basin irrigation forms basins around trees to pond water. Sprinkler irrigation sprays water into the air through pipes and nozzles. Drip irrigation applies water slowly directly to plant roots through a piped network. Drip irrigation has high efficiency but requires clean water to prevent emitter blockages. Overall, surface methods have lower efficiency than sprinkler or drip irrigation due to higher losses from conveyance and deep percolation.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

❖ Application of water to
crops may be of any of the
three basic methods
4. The basic requirement for adoption of any method are:
(i) Uniform distribution of 6-20 cm depth of water depending on the nature of
crops,
(ii) Economical conveyance structure,
(iii) Large discharge of water causing for reduction of conveyance losses, and
labour cost, and
(iv) Mechanised farming is possible
Methods of Irrigation
5. Surface Irrigation
❖ Water is applied to the soil surface and the water flows by gravity either
through furrows, strips or basins.
❖ Water is applied from a channel located at the upper reach of the field.
❖ Loss of water by conveyance and deep percolation is high and the
efficiency of irrigation is only 40-50% at field level in this method of
irrigation.
❖ Controlled: Water is applied from the head ditch and guided by
corrugations, furrows, borders, or ridges.
❖ Uncontrolled: Wild flooding.
Methods of Irrigation
6. Common Types of Surface Irrigation
1. Furrow irrigation
2. Border irrigation
3. Basin irrigation
8. Common Types of Surface Irrigation
❖In this method water is applied on the field is directed to flow through
narrow channels dug between the rows of crops, instead of distributing the
water throughout the whole field evenly.
❖The furrows must all have equal dimensions, in order to guarantee that the
water is distributed evenly.
❖Furrow irrigation is a cheap method in areas where water is inexpensive.
❖Suitable for mild slope and problematic in steep slope terrain's due to
erosion problem.
Furrow Irrigation
11. Common Types of Surface Irrigation
❖ Shape of furrows mainly depends on the type of soil and the size of the
stream
❖ Deep, narrow V-shaped furrow - suitable for sandy soil
Furrow Irrigation
12. Common Types of Surface Irrigation
❖ Wide, shallow furrow suitable for clay soil
Furrow Irrigation
13. Common Types of Surface Irrigation
➢ Shape and Spacing of Furrows:
❖Heights of ridges vary between 15 cm and 40 cm
❖ The range of spacing commonly used is from 0.3 to 1.8 m with 1.0 m as
the average.
Furrow Irrigation
14. Common Types of Surface Irrigation
➢ Shape and Spacing of Furrows:
❖Heights of ridges vary between 15 cm and 40 cm
❖ The range of spacing commonly used is from 0.3 to 1.8 m with 1.0 m as
the average.
❖Maximum slope for different soil types
Soil Type Maximum slopes*
Sand 0.25
Sandy loam 0.40
Fine sandy loam 0.50
Clay 2.50
Loam 6.25
Furrow Irrigation
16. In this method, parallel ridges are made to guide a sheet of flowing water when
the water moves down the slope.
The field is divided into several long parallel strips called borders that are
separated by low ridges.
Field should be even surface over which the water can flow down the slope with a
nearly uniform depth.
Every strip is independently irrigated by turning a stream of water at the upper
end.
Common Types of Surface Irrigation
Border Irrigation
17. Then water spreads and flows down the strip in a thin sheet.
Water moves towards the lower end without erosion covering the entire width of
the border.
Border method is suitable for most of the soils, while it is best suited for soils
having moderately low to high infiltration rates.
However, it is not suitable for course sandy and clay textured soils.
Common Types of Surface Irrigation
Border Irrigation
20. This method of irrigation is adopted mainly in orchards.
Usually round basins are made for small trees and square basin for large trees.
These basins allow more water to be impounded as the root zones of orchard plants are
usually very deep.
Each basin is flooded and water is allowed to infiltrate into the soil.
Based on type of crop and soil, nearly 5-10 cm depth of water may be needed for every
irrigation.
The advantage of basin method is that unskilled labour can be used as there is no risk of
erosion.
Disadvantages: there is difficulty in using modern machinery and it is also labour
intensive.
Common Types of Surface Irrigation
Basin Irrigation
21. Size of Basins
The size of basin is related to stream size and soil type
• Table : Suggested basin areas for different soil types and rates of water flow
Soil Type (areas is in hectares for each soil type)
Flow rate Sand Sandy loam Clay Clay-loam
• ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
• l/s m3 /hr
• 30 108 0.02 0.06 0.12 0.20
• 60 216 0.04 0.12 0.24 0.40
• 90 324 0.06 0.18 0.36 0.60
• 120 432 0.08 0.24 0.48 0.80
• 150 540 0.10 0.30 0.60 1.00
• 180 648 0.12 0.36 0.72 1.20
• 210 756 0.14 0.42 0.84 1.40
• 240 864 0.16 0.48 0.96 1.60
• 300 1080 0.20 0.60 1.20 2.00
• Note: The size of basin for clays is 10 times that of sand as the infiltration rate for clay is low leading to higher
irrigation time. The size of basin also increases as the flow rate increases. The table is only a guide and
practical values from an area should be relied upon. There is the need for field evaluation.
22. Free Flooding or Ordinary Flooding
In this type of irrigation, ditches are excavated in field, either on contour (known as
contour flooding) or up and down known as free flooding.
Water application on field with out levees is known as wild flooding and if levees are
available then it is called controlled flooding.
Checks Flooding
It similar to flooding method except flow is controlled by levees.
Levees can be constructed along the contours or along the slope of a field.
This method is suitable for permeable as well as less permeable soil.
Common Types of Surface Irrigation
26. ❖ In this type of irrigation water is applied plants like natural rainfall.
❖ Water is distributed through a system of pipes usually by pumping.
❖ Water under pressure is carried and sprayed into the air above the crop through
a system of:
✓ Overhead perforated pipes, nozzle lines, or through nozzles fitted to riser pipes
attached to a system of pipes laid on the ground.
✓ Nozzles of fixed type or rotating under the pressure of water are set at suitable
intervals in the distribution pipes.
✓ Sprayed water wets both the crop and the soil and, hence, has a refreshing
effect.
❖ Water is applied at a rate less than the intake rate of soil so that there is no
runoff.
❖ Measured quantity of water is applied to meet the soil water depletion.
Sprinkler Irrigation
28. Suitability
❖ Sprinkler irrigation is suited for most row, field and tree crops and water can be
sprayed over or under the crop canopy.
❖ Large sprinklers are not recommended for irrigation of delicate crops such as
lettuce because the large water drops may damage the crop.
Suitable slopes
❖ Sprinkler irrigation is adaptable to any farmable slope, whether uniform or
undulating.
❖ Lateral pipes supplying water to the sprinklers should always be laid out along
land contour.
❖ This will minimize the pressure changes at the sprinklers and provide a uniform
irrigation.
Sprinkler Irrigation
29. Suitability
❖ Uniform application by “artificial rain”
❖ Good application efficiencies (0.7 – 0.8)
❖ Dependent on wind, temperature, humidity
❖ Fairly terrain independent (but design must take terrain into account)
❖ Can have a low labor content
However,
❖ More initial cost
❖ High maintenance cost due to pumping
❖ Can be complex to run
Sprinkler Irrigation
31. In this irrigation system:
❖ Water is applied directly to the crop ie. entire field is not wetted.
❖ Water is conserved
❖ Weeds are controlled because only the places getting water can grow weeds.
❖ There is a low pressure system.
❖ There is a slow rate of water application somewhat matching the consumptive
use. Application rate can be as low as 1 - 12 l/hr.
❖ There is reduced evaporation, only potential transpiration is considered.
❖ There is no need for a drainage system.
Drip or Trickle Irrigation
32. In this irrigation system:
❖ Water is applied close to plants so that only part of the soil in which the roots
grow is wetted i.e. entire field is not wetted.
❖ Water is conserved
❖ Weeds are controlled because only the places getting water can grow weeds.
❖ There is a low pressure system.
❖ There is a slow rate of water application somewhat matching the consumptive
use.
❖ Application rate can be as low as 1 - 12 l/hr.
❖ There is reduced evaporation, only potential transpiration is considered.
❖ There is no need for a drainage system.
Drip or Trickle Irrigation
33. Suitability
❖ Drip irrigation is adaptable to any farmable slope.
❖ Normally the crop would be planted along contour lines and the water supply
pipes (laterals) would be laid along the contour also.
❖ This is done to minimize changes in emitter discharge as a result of land
elevation changes.
❖ Drip irrigation is suitable for most soils.
❖ On clay soils water must be applied slowly to avoid surface water ponding
and runoff.
❖ On sandy soils higher emitter discharge rates will be needed to ensure
adequate lateral wetting of the soil.
Drip or Trickle Irrigation
34. Suitability
❖ One of the main problems with drip irrigation is blockage of the emitters.
❖ All emitters have very small waterways ranging from 0.2-2.0 mm in diameter
and these can become blocked if the water is not clean.
❖ Thus it is essential for irrigation water to be free of sediments.
❖ ]If this is not so then filtration of the irrigation water will be needed.
❖ Blockage may also occur if the water contains algae, fertilizer deposits and
dissolved chemicals which precipitate such as Ca and Fe.
❖ Filtration may remove some of the materials but the problem may be complex
to solve and requires an experienced professional.
