Alta Irrigation District’s Post

New Irrigation Cycle for the 2024 Water Run June 6, 2024   Dinuba – On Friday, June 7th, Alta Irrigation District starts a new entitlement schedule. Over the course of a water run, the District adjusts the entitlement schedule to match available supply. According to information from the Kings River Water Association (“KRWA”) and the California Department of Water Resources (“DWR”), Kings River runoff is anticipated to be in a “normal” range for this water year (October 1st to September 30th). Keeping with typical operations during a “normal” runoff condition, water allotments will be available to land with an entitlement category greater than or equal to 25%. Land with a 5% entitlement classification (aka “Groundwater Only”) will not receive an allotment for the remainder of this year’s water run. Below is the allotment schedule for the new 14-day irrigation cycle. Read Full Press Release: https://lnkd.in/gE3c9QeF

Consider silt loads before specifying pumping systems. The detrimental impact of sediment loads in rivers on the functionality of pumping systems is often overlooked and leads to the premature failure of many abstraction projects for irrigation and other purposes.

IRRIGATION: To irrigate is to water crops by bringing in water from pipes, canals, sprinklers, or other man-made means, rather than relying on rainfall alone. Places that have sparse or seasonal rainfall could not sustain agriculture without irrigation. In areas that have irregular precipitation, irrigation improves crop growth and quality. By allowing farmers to grow crops on a consistent schedule, irrigation also creates more reliable food supplies. Modern irrigation systems use reservoirs, tanks, and wells to supply water for crops. Reservoirs include aquifers, basins that collect snowmelt, lakes, and basins created by dams. Canals or pipelines carry the water from reservoirs to fields. Canals and pipelines, just like the ancient Roman aqueducts, often rely on the force of gravity. Pumps may also move water from reservoirs to fields.Crops are irrigated by several methods: flooding an entire field, channeling water between rows of plants, spraying water through large sprinklers, or letting water drop onto plants through holes in pipes. Importance of Irrigation The importance of irrigation can be explained in the following points: Insufficient and uncertain rainfall adversely affects agriculture. Droughts and famines are caused due to low rainfall. Irrigation helps to increase productivity even in low rainfall. The productivity on irrigated land is higher as compared to the un-irrigated land. #snsinstitution #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinkers #irrigation

🔊 ¡Grandes noticias! Amiblu Spain has been awarded the supply of 26.5 km of GRP pipes for the Nova Limia irrigation modernization project in Galicia. Implemented in the region of A Limia, a comarca in the Galician province of Ourense, the Nova Limia irrigation modernization project will cover an area of 2,576 hectares and will benefit more than 1,800 farmers from the irrigation communities of Lamas-Ganade, Alta Limia, Corno do Monte and San Salvador de Sabucedo. The objective of the project is to replace the use of surface water from the Limia River and its tributaries with groundwater from 42 wells, which will be integrated into four irrigation networks. Amiblu will manufacture and supply a total of 26.5 km of GRP irrigation pipes in different diameters up to DN 800 for this scope. “GRP pipes are the best solution for irrigation communities, being the most installed material from DN 500 upwards in the whole pressure range, due to the multiple benefits they offer compared to traditional materials. The main advantages are low maintenance costs, excellent hydraulic performance, high durability and absence of corrosion, as well as high energy efficiency,” explains Xavier Arasanz, General Manager of Amiblu in Spain. The modernization of irrigation is in fact crucial for agricultural communities who need to optimize water resources, especially in periods of drought, and make water and energy management more efficient. #grp #pipes4generations #irrigationsolutions
