Performance analysis of on-demand large-scale irrigation systems: GIS-modelling integration
1999
Khadra, R.
For the present study, the analysis of the hydraulic operation of an Italian irrigation district has been carried out. It is located in the province of Foggia (Southern Italy) and was designed to operate on-demand. A simulation model (AKLA) has been used, allowing the accuracy of the analyses up to the hydrant level. The information gained is highly precise, however, the interpretation of the results is complex and reserved to researchers. In order to surpass this impediment, an assertive and easy interpretable tool had to be created. Therefore, the integration of AKLA in a GIS has been achieved as a first passage of a global DSS, allowing a clear representation of the system reality and the access of the managers and the decision makers to the information, and hence, an immediate decision. Moreover, solutions for the improvement of the system performance were suggested.
